In the GameCube version and The Sims Bustin' Out for console, a burglar is shown in the window when creating a Sim. The Sims does not keep track of family relationships, so any adult Sims will be considered as spouses and all children as siblings. However, heads and bodies cannot be customized individually in any way.

Also, any custom heads and/or bodies that have been added to the game can be chosen.

As expansion packs for The Sims are installed, more heads and bodies are added to the game. Players are only able to choose from a number of heads and a number of bodies for a Sim. For all other clothing categories, the Sim will be given a default outfit. Since heads come with their own hairstyle and bodies come with their own clothes, this also selects the Sim's hair color, hairstyle, and basic Everyday clothing. For adult Sims, this is how their basic body type (skinny, fit, or fat) is chosen. Players can also change the Sim's basic head and body clicking on the arrows to the left and right of the Sim's head and body flips through the available choices for the Sim's age, gender, and skin tone. The player does not need to assign all 25 personality points when creating the Sim, and as personality points are assigned to traits, the player is shown what the Sim's zodiac sign would be with that mix. 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.
