In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Create a Sim has been reinvented to make it "intuitive, powerful and flexible". In theory, this means that it has been tweaked to make it simpler to use; in practice, this appears to mean that it has been made more graphical. The interface builds upon content introduced in ''The Sims 3'', but the multiple steps used in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'' have been eliminated, and menus have been split.
The detail edit mode has a new click and drag method which allows players to get certain parts of their Sims' bodies exactly as they want. It has been described as "Sculpting a Sim", similar to "playing with clay". Players can also set the Sims' walk and voice style. [[Trait (The Sims 4)|Traits]] and [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspirations]] return in ''The Sims 4'' as part of a Sim's personality.
Before the official release of ''The Sims 4'', a CAS demo was available for download from [[Origin]]. It allowed players to explore CAS, but content was limited and [[young adult]] was the only life stage available.
=== Full View ===
In the full view, four menus can be seen. The options menu on the top-right lets players save the family, or load one from the [[The Sims 4 Gallery|gallery]]. At the top left there are two menus. One, indicated by a "plumbob" icon and "Hello, My Name Is...", lets the player choose the Sim's name, [[life stages|age]], voice, and walk style. The voice options for the Sims since Teen age are Sweet, Melodic, and Lilted for females; and Clear, Warm, and Brash for males. Children both gender can choose two voice options: sweet and warm. Options for walk styles are: Default, Perky, Snooty, Swagger, Feminine, Tough, Goofy, Sluggish and Bouncy. Children can't choose walk styles.
Below the basic menu, players can choose an [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspiration]] and a few [[Trait (The Sims 4)|traits]]. Since the number of available traits was reduced from [[Trait (The Sims 3)|63]] in ''The Sims 3'' to 35, only three traits can be chosen. Children can choose one trait and teens can choose two. In addition, selecting an aspiration also selects an associated trait. These are:
* Athletic - High Metabolism
* Creativity - Muser
* Deviance - Dastardly
* Family - Domestic
* Food - Essence of Flavor
* Fortune - Business Savvy
* Knowledge - Quick Learner
* Love - Alluring
* Nature - Collector
* Popularity - Gregarious
For children are individually four aspirations and no bonus traits:
* Creativity
* Mental
* Motor
* Social
====Full Body====
Clicking on the Sim's body makes this menu visible. This will also show the sliders for muscle tone{{confirm}} and fitness/fatness sliders. It is split into seven subcategories. All, except the first, are clothing categories.
# Body: made up of "Body and Skin Tone", which contains a few body presets, and "Tattoos".
# Styled Looks: lets the player choose from a set of pre-made outfits.
# Tops: consists of Jackets, T-shirts, Sweaters, Tanks, Button-Up, Sweatshirts, Suit Jackets, Bras, Vests, and Polos.[[File:TS4 CAS Demo Tops.png|thumb|282px|Tops for Young Adult Female]]
# Full Body: consists of Suits, Outerwear, Jumpsuits, Long Dresses, Short Dresses, and Robes.
# Bottoms: consists of Pants, Skirts, Shorts, Jeans, Cropped, Underwear and Swimwear (as of the November Update)
# Accessories: consists of Bracelets, Gloves, Rings, Leggings (only for females), and Socks.
# Shoes: consists of Sandals, Flats, Loafers, Slippers, Heels, Wedges, Sneakers, and Boots.
Clothing is split into five categories: Everyday, Formal, Athletic, Sleep, and Party. Clothing categories also have filters according to color, material, category and style. While each clothing category applies its appropriate filter, the filter can be eliminated if the player wishes to give the Sim a piece that is filtered out of the category.
===Head View===
By clicking on the Sim's head, the player enters Head View, which opens its own menu. It is made out of these categories:
* Face: consists of 'Face and Skin Tone', and 'Face Detail' in which beauty marks, wrinkles, and freckles can be added.
* [[File:TS4 CAS Demo Face and Skin Tone.png|thumb|284px|Faces and Skintone]]Hair: consists of Short, Medium and Long.
* Facial Hair: consists of Beards, Goatees, and Mustaches.
* Hats: consists of Brimless, Brimmed, and Baseball Caps.
* Accessories: consists of Earrings, Glasses, and Necklaces.
* Makeup: consists of Eyes, Eyeliner, Cheeks and Lips.
This menu has several hidden categories, however, which become visible by clicking on the respective facial region. Those are: Head Shape, Eyebrows, Eyes, Ears, Nose, Cheek, Mouth, Jaw, and Chin. In this view, the player also has access to detail edit mode, in which features which are inaccessible in regular edit mode can be edited, while in turn, features which are accessible in regular edit mode cannot be edited in Detail edit mode.
Note: If a Sim is wearing glasses, the Eyes menu cannot be opened.
===Multiple Sims===
Once a Sim has been created, players can generate another Sim in the bottom-left menu. By choosing the option "Play with Genetics"', players can create a sibling, a child or a parent.
In the basic menu, relationships between Sims can be set. These can be: Parent, Child, Sibling, Roommate or Spouse.
===Notes===
[[File:TS4 CASdemo Video Thumb.jpg|thumb|250px|Eight of the premade CAS Sims on the CAS Demo start button.]]
* The interface has both a "Start Over" button and a "Randomize" button. "Start Over" is a curved arrow at the bottom right, and was removed from the retail game. "Randomize" is a die located under the Sim. As in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', clicking Randomize will create a random Sim. However, unlike in the older games of the series, players can choose what to randomize, from the Sim's face details and hair to the shoes the Sim is wearing.
* Clicking "Start Over" will generate one of these Sims, with no name or personality: [[Andre DaSilva]], [[June Kay]], [[Steve Fogel]], [[Babs L'Amour]], [[Cassidy Purdue|Cassidy]] or [[Ollie Purdue]], [[Amber Stein]], [[Erol Dowd]], [[Kai Kahue]], [[Holly Vinedal]], [[Armand DiAggro]], [[Lacey Stiles]], [[George Rivers]], or [[Sean Sullivan]]. This was removed from the retail game, and is only accessible in the Create-A-Sim demo released in the Summer 2014.
