The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs’ Create A Pet features are so detailed that they’ve opened up a Pandora’s Box full of questions about the Base Game and Create A Sim!
The announcement of The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs was full of surprises, leaving people curious about the color wheel, the paint tool and all the textures that we can apply to our Pets. However, things took a quick turn after SimGuruLyndsay confirmed that those features are exclusive to Cats and Dogs only:
We are not making Create a Style for Sims. The color wheel you see has been created exclusively for TS4 Cats & Dogs create a pet feature.

As you can see, there’s basically an unlimited amount of colors that you can choose to paint your pet. However, there are only 25 skin tones that you can pick for your Sim…
The Create A Style that’s exclusive to pets is not the only thing that’s raising our eyebrows. There’s also heterochromia which lets your cats & dogs have different eye colors for each eye. There are actual people in the world with heterochromia, however that’s only exclusive to Cats and Dogs.

Many simmers feel the same way about Create A Pet and how it’s a shame that most features are not available in Create A Sim:
I second this, we are in dire need of more natural blondes/lighter browns and variety for sims hair in CAS

I think everyone agree on one thing. Color wheel is a must!

Color wheel (at least for hair) and different colored eyes would be cool

Color wheel for hair and eyes!! I really miss ombre too! Don’t really care about b&b! I also want a color wheel for make up

Some just want to see new features introduced in Create A Sim that could help balance things out:
I would love a tattoo or makeup system that allows you to draw on your own tattoos/makeup in the same way you can pet markings.

I really want to be able to layer jackets seperate
— James Turner (@JamesTurnerYT) September 22, 2017
I mean colour wheels?!?!?! Yes. Need it. And umm, layering jackets!

I feel like some of the body sliders could afford to be more detailed like in TS3, if at all possible. Especially when you zoom in.

Genetic Heterochromia. I’d love for that to be a thing for sims.
— Marissa (@Asiram_Rettip) September 22, 2017
Many also want to see these features implemented in Build Mode:
I want the colour wheel for hairs and for build items. Don’t really mind no colour wheel for clothes
— SimsTias (@SimsTias) September 22, 2017
Yes! I don’t need create a style but I would love to have color wheel in cas and buy/build mode.

Do you feel the same way about the indifference of some creative features between Create A Sim and Create A Pet? Let us know in the comments!
I just need that for hair! if it can be done for pets surely it can be done for sims hair I hope they implement this feature soon as I have already preordered pets
When they release The Sims 5, it should have a CAS system that is similar to the CAP system of Cats & Dogs!
(Only if they can’t add heterochromia, Create a Style, etc. to CAS)
I think the best way to go about create a style in the future, whether that’s in Sims 5 or in an update, is to be selective about what parts of the game use it and how much of it.
Like instead of giving us endless options of patterns and colors maybe narrow it to just a few patterns and a color wheel, in fact I would say we wouldn’t even need a color wheel if they gave us presets of every primary color.
Honestly? The Sims 4 has been a study in throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Some computers have a hard time processing a sprawling open world of 120+ lots? Let’s load a single lot at a time, and have worlds of 20 or so lots instead. Several hundred possible patterns able to be generated in a literally infinite number of colors causing a lag in some player’s processing speeds? Let’s get rid of the CASt system entirely and go back to only 5-10 variations of each asset. It sometimes feels like they went to the opposite extreme with each problem some players’ systems were having.
I agree, some of the things they did would’ve helped just as much if they hadn’t gone as far.
For example: A more limited CAST system or a system like TS2 where you could pick different colors for different parts of an object would be better than the limited system we have in TS4, you can’t even pick what bedding you want to go with which frame like you could in TS2.
I think if they had open worlds and only loaded specific areas of the world it would’ve helped just as much as it would completely throwing out open worlds altogether.
However making the game an open world, even in specific areas/neighborhoods many features won’t be able to make it because the game will not allow to change the coding of lots without a loading screen. We won’t have retail/restaurants/vet business if they decided to do open world.
