Players can customize a Sim's skin color (light, medium, or dark), their age (adult or child), their gender (male or female), and their personality using 25 personality points assigned to five 'traits'. The Create a Sim feature allows the player to create Sims and families with up to eight members. If no family is selected, clicking the button with a stylized family and a plus sign will enter Create a Sim.
In The Sims, Create a Sim is entered through the family bin. See also: Game Guide:Creating a new family in The Sims
