The new features for the hair are under the Body selection of Create a Sim and are only available for teens and older.
The new Sexual Orientation feature allows players to determine what kind of gender their Sim will be attracted to romantically, whether their Sim is willing to explore what they are attracted to, and the gender their Sim are interested in WooHoo or Messing Around. The Sexual Orientation options are in the “More Details” section under the “Customize Gender” option when in creation. You can change the Sexual Orientation settings after creation with Change Sim interaction on a mirror or dresser.
You can determine your Sim’s Wants & Fears with the new update. The Wants & Fears option is in the “Gameplay” options menu, it replaces Whims and includes a large selection of Wants that your Sims will want to achieve or Fears they want to overcome. You can now include Curved Walls in your build tools, creating buildings with sharp 90° corners and perfectly circular rooms.
