What is preventing you from using the parameters within CAS to make adjustments to get features the way you want them to create your Native American Sim?
@Chazzzy What was preventing us before from using the parameters within CAS to create black sims?
You see where this is going?
You can create almost any kind of sim in the game as it is but people will always expect a lot more from a video game for some reason.
I think it's double standards to say "just use the tools we have in CAS" to a person wanting better options for Native Americans but not say the same to a person wanting better options to make a black sim.
But without Custom Content, Black sims have lousy skin color options. That's not something a typical end user can adjust. I can adjust lip shape and size, I can adjust nose slope and bridge height. I can adjust the corners of the eyes and their width, I can even mess with brow angles a little bit. But if there's no existing skin tone that works for the look I want, I can't do anything about that without custom content.
Now, are the sliders and morphs we have in the Base Game capable of creating a believable Native American? I'll admit I've never tried, I usually roll with what the randomizer gives me with just a few tweaks here and there if something starts to bother me (Hello, Vlad). So I'm willing to take the word of someone who has tried and who has more of a stake in their ability to create Sims that represent a specific ethnicity.
(Though I will point out that even Daz, which has been much better with representation with their Genesis 8 figures than previous generations, isn't actually the creator of the "people of the world" morph sets. That's SickleYield, a very talented vendor who sells add-on morphs for the Genesis figures through the Daz (and Renderosity) marketplace.)
