The you will get a suggetion for a name if you don't like that one you can keep clicking until you find one that you like.

Body Shape and Clothing

Okay so now you have your Name, Aspirations, and Traits; now we are going to do Body Shape and Clothing. When you click on your sim there will be two sliders on the left of the sim. The left most slider is for how buff you want your sim to be, if you want your sim to be weak then you put the silder all the way at the bottom; if you want you sim strong then you put the slider at the top. the slider on the right is for how fat you want your sim, if you want your sim to be skinny then you put the slider at the bottom; if you want your sim to be fat the you put the slider at the top. Now for clothing. when you click on your sim you will see the silders but you will also see a bunch of icons to the right. Those icons are the clothing icons. From top to bottom they are: Body and Skin Tone, Styled Looks, Tops, Full Body, Bottoms, Accessories, and Shoes. Clothing is also split into six catogories: Everyday, Formal, Athletic, Sleep, Party, and Swimwear. Also when you click on your sims face more icons will appear they are the: Face Details and Skin Tones, Hair, Facial Hair, Hats, Accessories, and Makeup.

Build Mode

In Bulid Mode you can anything, treehouses, castles, remake your own home. Anything is possible! When you first enter Build Mode you will see 5 icons they are: Search, Outside Edit, Search By Room, and Search by Catogory.

So if you wanted a child's bed you would click on the childrens room icon and click on the bed. And lastly Search By Catogory. Search By Catogory will help you find funiture by type.
