No Create a Style Confirmed
It looks like the re-evaluation on adding CASt to The Sims 4 didn’t pan out in the fans favor.
@909090Lynn90909 We confirmed at Gamescom that it isn’t in the game; I appreciate the feedback from the community regarding it though.

Update 12-28-2013
Graham confirms again that the CASt tool will not be in The Sims 4.
Hi Alicia - it’s a great tool, I agree. It’s something we’ve confirmed won’t be in Sims 4 I’m sorry to say, but I hope some of the other aspects of Build and Create a Sim that we’ll unveil will help spark your creativity! —Graham Nardone December 22, 2013
Update 5-21-2014 Graham confirms again that we won’t have CASt OR a color wheel in the Sims 4.
@KenzieAle Color selection will work like it did at Gamescom (with more colors to choose from since then).

Update 7-5-2014 Graham states that CASt will never be added to The Sims 4.
CASt is a good example of a feature that is not technically feasible to add post launch. –Graham Nardone, June 26, 2014
“THINGS CHANGE”
CAST-like customization is being revisited…
Back in August 2013 ruthless_kk reported from Sims Camp that the Sims Team was aware of the uproar around the lack of Create-A-Style for The Sims 4 and that it was being “kicked up to the upper levels for further evaluation." And that same day Graham Nardone told fans ”The squeky wheel gets the grease“ and encouraged fans to be vocal on the forums.
Fans were extremely vocal but it didn’t pay off. As you can see from the series of quotes above stating over and over again that Create-A-Style would not be returning in The Sims 4.
But Things Change™ – like possibly lower than expected sales? – and suddenly fans are being strung along over the possible return of CAST-like customization options for The Sims 4. Nothing has been confirmed. See quotes below:
Update 10-30-2014 SimGuruHolms tells fans some sort of CAST customization may be possible after all. (Pics from chealsycat)
"We are looking into various CAST options right now and know you guys want them.” –Eric Holmberg-Weidle
Update 11-1-2014 SimGuruGraham responds to being called a liar.
“I wouldn’t normally do this, but I don’t appreciate being called a liar.
The issue I was speaking to with adding CASt post launch is that for it to exist in the manner you’re familiar with from The Sims 3 it would necessitate going back and re-doing the materials for every purchasable object in the game. The further you get from launch, the more assets you have to go back and re-create. It’s the same reason why every car in The Sims 3 didn’t suddenly animate once that one car was added in Roaring Heights - the art assets aren’t compatible like that, and it wasn’t feasible to do that work (keeping in mind that regardless of the technical possibility of something existing given an unlimited amount of time and budget, developers have to work within realistic constraints). Hence, my quote.”
And SimGuruBChick adds her two posts to the discussion…
“In The Sims Studio, we like to say that we never say never. But, as SimGuruGraham pointed out, we do sometimes say that it is not currently feasible.” –SimGuruBChick
And
“What someone said way back in 2013 could change a year later. We are now in the tail end of 2014 and our engineers keep improving and enhancing our game code. What was not "possible” over a year ago MAY become “feasible” in the future. We are always exploring new ways of doing things. That’s why we never say never.“ –SimGuruBChick
