Guide for beginners of sims 4 to adjust sims on CAS (create a sim)
There are big 3 parts you need to keep in mind when making sims on CAS
1. Change face structure, jaw, cheek, eyes, nose, lips on palette
2. Change on general mode
3. Change on detail mode



I will show you how to change in detail on CAS using sims @simgurugraham made :P I edited a lil bit

That's a LOT of pictures ...

Thanks for the tutorial. I don't make many sims in CAS and wasn't aware of all the possibilities.

ETA : You might want to edit your post title and indicate picture heavy for those who might have trouble loading all the images.

Sooooo helpful! I thought I was an expert in CAS but this proved me wrong.

You can also adjust the tip of the nose for men as well. I've got a few male sims with upturned noses, as well as some with the latter. I think it's easier to adjust when you're looking at the sim by profile view or 3/4ths, hovering over the nose bridge. The arrow turns into a circle to show indication

Nice guide, btw! Very helpful!

Lightfield

Great guide!

rosemow

Hello,
Thankyou for creating and posting this very helpful guide! It is great for simmers to look at and see all the options in CAS and how to change them .
Thankyou

PrincessVee

Thank you for the guide! You did some great job on it!^^

DeKay

Wow! Such an awesome guide. I didn't know you could move the pupils up and down (under eyeball positioning)!

Schantal

This must have taken so long for you to do, thank you. I learned some new ones like the pupils going up or down. I always have to edit my sims eyelids when it looks off and now I won't have to!! Thank you!!

You should use the spoiler tags.

I agree 100000% !!!

surraaaaaa

Thank you! My sims born in game always look weird, and i can never make them look *exactlyyyy* normal, this helps alot! I had no idea about the pupil positioning either, so glad I know I can move them now haha

@SimGuruGraham's face must be sore with all that tugging

luthienrising

This is epic. And includes a few things I didn't know before, even with all the CAS time I've put in.

Also, I hope @SimGuruGraham enjoys it

Neia

Thanks a lot ! That's awesome, I didn't know half of those !

You missed out left/right pulls on lower eyelids in detail mode (works like the upper lids, adjusting where the widest part of the eye is)

Also, neck depth GM from the side, pull left/right. (thickness from front to back)
