Here is everything we learned about TS4 from the CAS video:

• Preset Colors- 13 options for eye color, 18 options for skin color (including blue and green), 8 options for eyebrow color, 18 options for hair and facial hair color.
• User Interface- CAS buttons and transitions are animated and quite bouncy! The UI is very minimal and scaled back. There are seven main categories; clicking one will animate that button and reveal sub-categories. Mousing over a sub-category will reveal an X; clicking the X resets the sub-category.
• Detail Mode- Zooming close into a Sim activates “Detail Mode”, where each part of the face is highlighted when moused over and can be tweaked in greater detail.
• Cosmetic Details- There are four types of wrinkles that can be added, as well as two types of beauty marks (next to eye and above corner of lip).
• Outfit Categories- There is Everyday, Formalwear, Athletic, Sleepwear, and a NEW one, Partywear!
• Tattoos- Tattoos seem to be more basic in TS4. You simply select a tattoo and it appears already sized, colored and in-place, and this cannot be customized.
• Styled Looks- A catalogue-like mode that allows players to sort through pre-set outfits with a few color options to try out on Sims in CAS. Click here for examples!
• Traits and Aspirations- The video reveals the Genius, Bookworm, Creative, Romantic, Outgoing, Gregarious, Fast Learner and Active traits. Relevant Aspiration options appear based on the selected traits. When an Aspiration is selected, a Sim receives another trait that will help with their Aspiration. For example, a “Renaissance Sim” will get the Quick Learner trait, allowing him or her to build skills faster, or a Sim with the “Friend to the World” Aspiration will unlock the Gregarious trait, allowing him or her to build friendships faster.
