Create a Sim
Like my other pages I recently created, I don't know if this page should be combined to the main one Create a Sim or not. I don't want to break the main page just by edit it so I will make a new page.
Create A Sim (CAS) is where individual Sims are made. It is used to customize a Sim's appearance and personality.
In The Sims 4, CAS is part of the Gallery instead of Create a Family. Sims made and downloaded in the gallery can be edited later by CAS.
History
The CAS changes had leaked before the offical release. More information: TS4 Development
In July 2014, the CAS demo is avaible to download in the Origin for free.
Create A Sims tool is describe as one of the Powerful, Creative Tools in The Sims 4 offical description, making it one of the key feature.
Basics
There are lots of feature in the new CAS. Unlike other CAS, there are no steps or buttons. You have to explore yourself to find all the things you can do! Or simply read guides :P.
