we can change the size of the earlobe but we can’t change height 💀 edit: The game is a decade old now, it's not a reach to ask for an animation rework to include varying heights. My point was that height is such a defining characteristic for people compared to something as niche as the earlobe, which made it ironic.
If you came here to comment you already knew these and you find this video useless, that's fine, but there are many people who did learn something and I made this video for them. So let's stop gatekeeping the sims and shaming people for not knowing! Have a great day 💕
i think a lot of people keep forgetting that even though the game is 8 years old, a huge chunk of the current playerbase are very new to the game. it hasnt been free very long and it has way more details to dig through and find than it did on launch, super easy to miss things. literally took me 6 years to find out about the build/buy stair hack (using ctrl)
everytime i see one of those comments it annoys me, i know everything here that doesnt mean everyone else should since ive definetly discovered a lot of obvious things years after the game released its not like we get told every single thing so its easy to miss some small details.
I didn't know what a lot of these things in detail edit mode did, because I usually drag them by accident and end up distorting my sim's face haha. Thanks for the explanation!
When you realize that as much as you feel you are a cas/buildbuy/gameplay rotater you're actually mostly a Cas player...I surprisingly knew all of these for messing around in Cas...but nice tips for everyone loved this..also from the profile side in both nodes you can mess with the jaw to make it more out(if that makes sense) ...similar to when you get that sweet spot on the forehead...the lips you can also mess with from profile side in detail mode pulling them up and down I think on some presets it opens the space between the top and bottom lips...still messing with this one
I accidentally discovered detail edit mode lol It took me a hot second to figure out wtf I had just done to my sim. I was like WTF DID I JUST DO TO YOUR EYEBROWS GIRL cuz I grabbed n draged her to rotate, but grabbed the brows n brought them babies ALL the way up lol.
lips is my personal favorite because it can really define a sims personality, a slight smile or frown in their passive position gives a lot of character
The "sweet spot" for the forehead is easier to get if you remove the hair or choose one that is up off the forehead a bit. When I use that, I just take the hair off for a few
I’ve been dying to know how to do this stuff in CAS - in the videos I watched previously they go so fast I was unable to follow all but the most basic things. I was a Sims 2 player. Thanks for showing all the “sweet spots”
You can also straighten their posture by adjusting up or down along their upper back. I always slightly improve posture and make feet larger. Sim feet are so small.
Here are some more things you can try: You can also drag the face up or down to lengthen it. As everyone has different face length this makes a drastic difference in the appearance of your sim. Adjust the width of the face, by clicking on the forehead to highlight the face in the same way as shown here, but from the front. This is a different adjustment than cheekbones, which can also be done. You may adjust the chin itself and adjust the jaw structure. You can adjust the neck from the profile, and this adjustment is actually different that adjusting the width of the neck with the sim facing forward. You can adjust posture by clicking just behind the shoulders with your sim in profile (a tricky spot to find as your sim sways their arms when standing) you’ll see the cursor/mouse turn from a hand to an arrow pointing up and down. Click, hold and drag up or down to adjust the upper back. Up = straighter posture with chest out or Down = natural to slouched posture with the upper back relaxed or fully slouched. You can adjust foot size - but beware it should be proportionate to your sim. Feet that are tiny or enormous will look very odd and off balance - unless that’s the look you’re going for. Adjustment of the sliders on fat and muscle mass will make it easier to adjust the whole figure, such as making a chest or waist wider or smaller. The sims waist can be adjusted from the front, but this is also adjustable from the profile/side which is a different adjustment than from the front, just like you can do with the neck. Adjusting the chest, you can drag it left and right to increase or decrease size but you can also drag it up or down. Typically, natural chests will be at about the middle of the upper arms. They will be a bit lower when fuller (although not to elbows) and just a tad higher when less full, (although not up to armpits). It would look odd to have an extremely full chest that’s up to your sims neck or down to her waist or a thinner chest up to your sims armpit or down past her elbows. There are so many different tiny aspects to adjust - especially on the sims faces! Play around outside your comfort zone and break the “same face syndrome”! Just remember to check the sim in side profile with each adjustment, before you save! As you might need to make a few more adjustments. Unfortunately, there’s not much depth to sims - they’re almost 2D from the front. This means they can look drastically different from the side profile than the front! This is a very useful series! I didn’t have any of these tutorials when I started playing The Sims. I learned the hard way until I had one very useful website that is still one of the best today: Carl’s Sims: www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/ They also have a channel on YT and tutorials for ALL the other sims games, too!
@@Jaz_Sims ik. But the game was promoted with the new CAS options and system and many creators that never played Sims before promoted it with just the CAS beta bc of this. In that way, Sims 4 became the most popular in the franchise, bc many people that never played started play for the CAS.
I actually found out about the earlobe one the other day and though it was one of the sliders I downloaded 😭 that’s so cool that it’s actually in the game
if you look at your sim from the side and adjust their thighs horizontally, you can change the thigh gap! i always hated how when i made a mid size or plus size sim they still had a thigh gap but figuring out how to get rid of it changed my LIFE
wow I've played the Sims for years and I always use the detail edit mode. I can't believe I missed so much. 🤦♀️ I never even thought about the neck, feet, or ears.
These sorta comments make me laugh 😂 I guess a lot of you guys just want to say you already knew things in roundabout ways? but there are plenty of people that are just now joining the sims franchise, especially since it went free this week, and a whole bunch of people who hate playing cas and prefer building or gameplay. But I get it, you want to say you knew already 😂
@@illuminaticonfirmed1389 the sims franchise has been around since I was a kid and I’ve been playing since then and still didn’t know some of this so my point was that her video can useful for even veteran players like myself. There’s no need to be snarky just because you already knew about it
They need to make playlists for shorts so I have a place to save these videos. Maybe you could make a video that puts all these CAS tips together so I can save it to my Sims playlist.
the ear rotation one doesn't work in my game anymore and i think it's because one of my slider mods is using that grab spot. which really frustrates me because i used to use that slider on like every sim. the ear presets are so weirdly upright
I wish I knew this when I was doing a legacy challenge and my Sims kid didn’t have a way of wearing glasses because it would just clip into the Sims face
Most people don’t know you can change your sims height. Worked it out trying to make one of my sims necks longer 🤣 kinda messes up certain animations though
Gotta show this to callmekevin so he can make even more horrifying characters
😂 I would die if he saw this video
Omg yeah 🙄😭😂
not me thinking the same exact thing 💀🤣
That was my first thought
*_kevin's going to love it_*
we can change the size of the earlobe but we can’t change height 💀
edit: The game is a decade old now, it's not a reach to ask for an animation rework to include varying heights. My point was that height is such a defining characteristic for people compared to something as niche as the earlobe, which made it ironic.
Height does require animation changes, ear lobe size does not.
There is a height slider mod.
Psht luumia 🤫
as if changing the earlobe is more crazy than changing the height, are you crazy?
You can change a sims posture and that helps, unless you want to download a mod or smth
you can edit their posture by dragging their back up and down :)
Wow
Comment if u think u have played sims longer than me
I'm always making my sims feet bigger. For some reason they just randomize tiny and it looks off with certain shoes
Same, I always make their feet and calves bigger
LOL same

Thank you so much! These tips are so helpful!
about dragging out the face in profile, I always do that on the werewolf forms so they get more of a muzzle :]
OMG brilliant!
Something I recently found out is you can change your sims posture by rotating their spine up and down from a side angle
i just found that out from a video earlier today 😂
that sounds unnecessarily terrifying
I didn't know what a lot of these things in detail edit mode did, because I usually drag them by accident and end up distorting my sim's face haha. Thanks for the explanation!
I’ve been playing ts4 for years and I had no idea about dragging the forehead to change lower face width!! Thanks ! :)

ooohhh the ear one is a game changer, thank you for this!!!
lips is my personal favorite because it can really define a sims personality, a slight smile or frown in their passive position gives a lot of character
I use the Sims to make OCs, so I'm a control freak about every. single. pixel. I love learning all the little tricks to help make unique Sims!
Didn’t know about the eyebrow or ear or lips one!! I’ve been trying to figure out to make eyebrows look different tysm
did you start playing the sims yesterday?
@@eowyn508 nope , been playing off & on since 2019 but I’m more of a builder 😅
@@the.sapling oh okay. I'm perfect in CAS but poor in building..
Those are the best base game eyebrows, and you can't change my mind.
Everyone should watch this before downloading custom sliders
i didn't know about ears and neck omg
The "sweet spot" for the forehead is easier to get if you remove the hair or choose one that is up off the forehead a bit. When I use that, I just take the hair off for a few
You can also change where the bump on the nose is in detail edit mode
you can also move the pupils to make them smaller or bigger, up can also move them up to give them sanpaku eyes
You can also change their posture as well by grabbing the lower part of the back of the neck
I never knew we had that much control over the ear part! That’s really cool! ^^✨
I’ve been dying to know how to do this stuff in CAS - in the videos I watched previously they go so fast I was unable to follow all but the most basic things. I was a Sims 2 player. Thanks for showing all the “sweet spots”
Already knew all of these, I always explore all options lol
ive spent so much time in CAS that i knew all of these already 😭 crying
I only didn’t know about the neck and ears that’s crazy how much details cas really has
idk if i’m crazy but i spend SO much time on CAS that everytime i see these videos i’m like,” duh lol” but that back of the neck one is new!!
how did that aim look excactly like me at the end lol
I had NO clue about the earlobe and back of head/neck thing!
i didnt know we could customize the earlobe. thanks!
You can also straighten their posture by adjusting up or down along their upper back. I always slightly improve posture and make feet larger. Sim feet are so small.
Oh I learned alot! The only two I didnt know was the earlobes and ear rotation, and the changing of the jaw in detail edit mode! Thats neat!

ooooh knew all of this except for the ear in detail edit mode and its pretty useful when choosing hairs tysm!!
I'm surprised for the amount of people didn't knew these. Literally the reason Sims 4 become popular in it's release was this.
A lot of people play for building or gameplay and dont make sims

Her sim looked so worried the entire time 💀
I was doing some cas and my dad came in and said "would the police benefit from this, like for identifying criminals?"
I can’t believe I didn’t know the lip depth! You can make it look like fillers 😗
love your sim is the cutes sim i ever seen in my life!
If you go into detail edit mode you can change the size of the iris and its creepy💀🤚
you can change the posture too but dragging their back up and down :)
on console anyways
@@emilyx3131 you can change it on PC too
I actually just discovered the foot trick, I was messing around in cas, and I was curious if you could do anything with the feet
i knew all of these except for the neck from the side view, i thought it was only for the front view omg
On the sides of the forehead you can alter the proportions of the face
im so glad i knew all of these already.

u can also make their face asymmetrical!!
