The latest trailer for the upcoming The Sims 4 game shows off a powerful character creator. Called “Create A Sim,” the tool allows players to drag their mouse to manipulate character features. Past games required players to select a body part and drag a slider.
With Create A Sim, characters can be easily customized while still offering precise control. Ryan Vaughan, producer of the game, showed off a digital version of himself in the game as well as a few of his coworkers.

You will also be able to customize each character with traits that give them special abilities. For example, you can make a character a genius, bookworm, and creative to make him or her a quick learner. This allows the sim to build new skills faster.
The Sims 4 will be available for the PC this fall.
