You can make your child wear cute diapers rather than putting loads of clothes on, for the hot climate. Besides clothes, you can put baby glasses and helmets on them. 

Sometimes, you will get children with less hair growth, so the game has many hairstyling options. In contrast, you can even style your children if he/she has lots of hair. Additionally, you have many baby accessories for storytelling options. 

Whichever dressing option you can think of for your child, you will get all in one place in The Sims 4 game. 

• Customizing Infants Skin 

If you want something unique with the baby's skin, you can add birthmarks on their body or face. Interestingly, the mark will soon fade as they grow into an adult. 

Moreover, you can add these marks at the later stages of their life too with every mark possessing specific swatches according to the skin color. For example, if your female Sim has undergone a C-section for giving birth to the baby, they can wear their stretch marks. 

Inside the Gender settings, you can make your female Sim produce milk. So, if you want your Sim to breastfeed your child, you can enable the milk production option. Otherwise, you can disable this option to bottle feed your children.

How to Get More Sims in CAS?

Is it Possible to Duplicate a Sim in CAS?

Duplication of a Sim in the game is an easy task requiring you to follow a few steps. However, one of the straightforward ways to duplicate/ copy a Sim in The Sims 4 is to save it in the Library. Next, you can include the Sim back as a new household member, giving you an exact clone of the earlier Sim. 

If you want a clone in The Sims 4, you can use the Duplicato spell by spellcasters or cloning machines. The clone produced by the cloning machine will have the identical physical appearance, skills, traits, and clothing as the original Sim. But, they don’t have the same relationships and careers. 

Additionally, the cloned Sim will have a head similar to the original, but their bodies will be grey with green and black trims. On the other hand, the Duplicato spell clones will be a part of the Sim's family tree as the sibling. 

The cloned Sim will possess the exact physical appearance. Sadly, when the time ends, the clones will cast a spell resulting in them disappearing eventually. Thus, the Sims produced by the cloning and duplicating process aren’t the same.

In The Sims 4, Cloned Sims have several benefits, including they can become a part of the household, servant, and bodyguards. The clones produced by the spell can fight, clean, and cook upon receiving the command from the original Sim.

However, making multiple clones can put the original Sim in trouble as one or two of them can turn into evil, like a serial killer. Since you will have all the clones, it will be challenging for you to decide between good and evil.

In some cases, you might need to edit the Sim even after you have created it. You can follow the underlying steps carefully to edit and customize the already-created Sim. 

• Press on the Simology button or the Y key to edit a Sim. 
• Next, scroll down to the bottom page and choose the Enter Create a Sim option.
