How to Edit Sims in Sims 4 on Xbox
As the player, you want to create the ultimate Sims 4 experience on your Xbox, but one of the most fun and creative aspects of the game is the customization of your Sims. With the base game’s Create-a-Sim tool, you can change their appearances, personalities, and traits to make them truly unique. However, as you unlock more content packs, the process becomes more complex and challenging to navigate. In this guide, we will cover the step-by-step process to edit your Sims in Sims 4 on Xbox.
Basic Understanding of Creating and Editing Sims
Before diving into the editing process, it’s essential to understand how Create-a-Sim (CAS) works. CAS allows you to create your Sims by combining various attributes such as:
• Face : Age, facial shape, and skin tone
• Eyes : Shape, size, and color
• Hair : Style, color, and length
• Body : Size, shape, and features (breasts, shoulders, etc.)
• Attributes : Skills, traits, and relationship values
• Outfits : Clothing and accessories
Understanding the basics of CAS will help you as you progress to more complex editing techniques.
Step-by-Step Guide to Editing Sims
- Loading the CAS
- To start editing, open the game and navigate to Create-a-Sim mode. Press the Pause button on your controller and select "Create a Sim".
- This will bring up the Create-a-Sim tool, where you can create or load an existing Sim.
CAS: The Tools and Interface
- Toolbar : Navigation bar that contains all CAS tools and settings.
- Body slider : Adjust body features by moving sliders up or down.
