What part of creating a new Sim do you struggle with? For me, it’d have to be naming them. It’s not that I can’t find any names, it’s that I have trouble deciding what fits, especially when the Sim is related to an existing character from another series. I have so many Sims who are just named “? [Surname]”. XD

Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
This is just part of my main problem: inspiration. I need an idea of what I want to do to base my Sims, builds, and gameplay around. Names are ultimately a part of this, and inspiration is ridiculously fickle. Sometimes it flows like water, at others it is a mere trickle of thick molasses.
So the most difficult part of CAS for me is figuring out just what I want to make. Detail edits can be pretty annoying, but I actually have to be interested in the Sim first. If I had to pick a runner up, it would be detail edit stuff like reproducing Sims or synchronizing details of several versions of the same Sim. It is just tedious and I like to avoid it if at all possible until the point it harms my fun.
Also when I have a specific idea in my head of how I want a character to look, and it takes ages trying to edit the facial details to get it right. Recently I've been moreso just coming up with an idea of the personality first, and going from there, not being too specific about the looks.
I also agree with naming. It's very rare that I have a name in mind for a character. I usually look at baby-naming websites for ideas if the randomiser isn't coming up with something I like.
If you're on PC, there's a mod to increase the number of trait slots, but I do agree, it is hard with only 3 slots.
Yes, this. Out of all the jeans there's only 2 pair I like.
I love when sims don't look like they all went to same plastic surgeon but I truly lack imagination
which is why I love having premade sims so i can just style them and play with them and their offspring never having to bother with genetics again
only ones i really make now from scratch is occults if i lack some
and/or recreating premades from older games... for which its usually really just lack of correct hairstyle or clothing options...
oh and yes naming. always problematic. my phone be thinking im having my 100th baby by now judging from things i google

Makeup for all outfits. First I have to remove, then apply what I want.
Outfits.
Name.
I always forget voice, so a lot of my sims' voices don't match what I want them to sound like.
Then I start playing and the sim has aged a third of the life expand because it took me so long to finish making them.
