In a leaked webpage released by the official EA Answers spanish page it’s been revealed that The Sims 4 is getting some major improvements in the CAS department.
SimGuruLyndsay shared a few weeks ago that The Sims Team will be focusing in the coming weeks and months to improve representation in Create A Sim. Those would include new Skin Tones, improvements to the existing hairstyles and more. However the details haven’t been shared exactly how that’s going to be done…until done.
The leaked page from EA Answers revealed that The Sims 4 will be getting multiple updates in the coming months. The first one, slated for PC on October 6th and November 10th for Consoles will be improving two existing hairstyles and adding more skin tones. There is going to be another update in December that will not only add new cool, neutral, and warm tones “with a special emphasis to darker skins” – but that the game will also offer Skin Tone sliders for both existing and upcoming skin tones “which will allow you to modify the selected tone to darker or lighter values”. The upcoming December update will have OVER 100 Skin Tones for you to not only use but make them darker or lighter using the brand new slider.
“To complement the expanded library of skin tones that we’re launching in December, we’re adding new makeup sliders in Create A Sim Mode. Updated customization options offer a new level of control over the appearance of your Sim, so you can create the most perfect looks possible” – said the leaked page.
The team will be sharing more information in late October and early November on how they’re implementing these features to The Sims 4. Maxis also said that they’ll be sharing details about collaborations with external partners, including different highly talented community members to make sure they’re doing the upcoming content updates right.
The updates and changes will require for you to have Uncompressed Sim Textures enabled in your Game Options if you want to use the new upcoming features.
We’re currently waiting for the official English post to make sure all information is correctly translated from the Spanish webpage, which has been found by PekeSims.

I just have one question and correct me if I’m wrong WHY IS IT that pc players get skin tones first and console players been…….waiting for a base game update?? Are we not in the loop??? I could’ve sworn pc players have MODS! So they been had skin tones they like and can use can we ?? (Console players) so why is it when it comes to updates why are we not the 1st !!! Ones to get it since we so….far behind we don’t have mods so why are we not the first to get the updates??? I’m so upset and I know us console players is beyond frustrated !! Is this how you treat your paying players? Ignore our wants for years and do what you guys like and want ?in a buisness isn’t it make the CUSTOMER HAPPY AND YOU WILL SEE MORE REVENUE??? Personally as I mentioned before why must we all become pc players just to get what we asked for in this game and HAVE TO DOWNLOAD mods??? Why when we pay to play don’t we? it’s not free !! Another thing when was the last free update when we did get free!!! Stuff it’s looking real sad we still on only 2 free items with all these packs??? What’s up with that ? I’m really upset and if you are too please like this post so @ea @sims4team can see how many of us CONSOLE PLAYERS FEEL !!!! I wanna thank @pixelade for keeping us updated and for trying to help us console players out I just wish the sims team would hear him out!!!!!! He has great ideas and knows WHAT WE WANT
Hi plz can u make wheelchairs, vitiligo,prosthetic limbs, Down’s syndrome, autism and chemiopherapy hair loss and cerebral palsy also like aloepecia plz I feel like everyone needs
To have a place in sims the equality stuff is appalling, people want to make sims like they are. Xx an avid sims user.
What about having auburn hair colour?
Also, how about making it easier to create the right ethnic Sim with the right skin tone? For example, if I wanted to create an Indian Sim, I don’t want their skin tone to resemble that of an African. Or an Asian’s tone resembling that of a Caucasian.
I wish he could also get hair and clothes slider or at least we could choose accent colors from like a full rainbow of them. And also black hair color not blue, I always have to make my sims brown haired because I don’t want all of them to have blue hair. If we can paint on pets, why can’t we chose the color of the belt or the color of the hair pin or the color of the colorful strand in the hair..
Yeah I use alpha hairs however there are a few in game maxis hairs I like specifically for my elder sims as they’re very neglected as a life stage in the community especially with hairs (alpha or maxis match) but I downloaded recolors that had true black which made the hairs stand out less among the alpha hairs I used and the eyebrows (which broke with the patch and since the creator looks like they’re not online anymore I’ll have to update that for myself). It’s a big pet peeve of mine that there isn’t true black in the game for hairs and clothes. Plus because I use ultra setting with reshape the texture issue (blotches) with black clothes is annoying so I either avoid them or get a cc with true black (guess I’ll have to add that to my list but it’s so tedious).
Finally, thank god. The only thing we need now is more realistic babies.
God* Im sorry
Since I spent a lot of time in cas this is a welcomed and needed update. So shameful it took EA this long to acknowledge this and provide the resources to allow these changes to happen. I remembered putting changes about makeup on that poll and I think others did too but clearly it was the outcry from a large section of the community that made these changes happen. I’m curious about how much EA made banking on the Star Wars dlc.
What about hair colors?
Can you guys add new clothes in the update after December please. I’m very satisfied with the hair and skin tones. Thanks
FINALLY
Really.. is makeup sliders what we asked for..noo. skin tone sliders yes.. it will be interesting to see what will be added
I would love to have more hair colours too. I’m trying to make a character that looks like me but I can’t get the hair right because I have brown hair with streeks of blond
Glad they are doing this, I’ve stopped playing ts4 for a while now because I’ve felt like I’ve done everything I can do even when adding mods and other things the game just feels boring to me now. Hope they do more stuff like this in the future, for sure will check out the update when it comes.
Eyelashes????
SIMS 5 ENOUGH WITH SIMS 4
Also can we get more than 3 personality traits. Sims are very complex individuals. Even if grilled cheese is their aspiration.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Nice
woot can’t wait!
All need now is to be able to modify on the ps4 and Xbox One in the new system
Black Sims Matters update, lol.
your racist
I am very pleased!
Nice
I hope they add sliders for hair colours natural and dye and eyes
Nice
the fact that it’s been SIX YEARS and this is just now happening… at least we know it’ll be in the next base game too (hopefully)
This should have been apart of the game when it first came out. It really sucks that they only listen when white simmers said something.
Just remember that we shouldn’t praise them for something that should have been there at release.
Yesss
