Parents passing on their traits by "DNA" I assume this feature will work with custom made sims? I can make a sim of myself and a crush and get a good idea for how the children will turn out? lol
I would suspect that you might have a clue....... however remember your DNA also is accumulated from all your ancesters and occasionally you get throwbacks to great great great etc grandparents...
What I've been wondering about more and more is how will the inheritance work with custom skins, eyes, and hair? For instance, I'm wondering if we can set it up so we make a blue skin, yellow skin, and green skin, and then set it up so if you have a yellow sim marry a blue sim the children will have green skin? I remember seeing older screenshots showing a parent with lighter skin and one with darker skin resulting in a cute little baby with a medium skin, so I've been wondering about things like this now. Anyone else have theories, ideas, or hopes about this?
In one of the chats they asked what would happen if one parent had blue skin and the other had red skin. Luc said they would have either red or blue. So I suspect that with the custom skins it's like they are dominant as opposed to blended.
Ive heard that the traits the simbaby gets dosent just depend on the parents traits, but also how the mother acts during the pregnancy. Like if the mom is really friendly to everyone while shes pregnant, theres a good chance that the baby will have the trait "friendly"
Sims have 2 alleles, one from each parent. CAS sims (not created through the create a baby option) have 2 identical alleles. Of the two alleles, one will be expressed. The other will not be shown by the Sim, but can be passed on to offspring. When a dominant allele is paired with a recessive one, the dominant allele will be expressed. When a dominant allele is paired with another dominant allele – there is a 50/50 chance that either will be expressed. When a recessive allele is paired with another recessive allele – there is a 50/50 chance that either allele will be expressed. Brown & Black hair is equally dominant. Blonde & Red hair is equally recessive. Brown & Dark blue eyes are equally dominant. Light blue, Green & Grey eyes are equally recessive. I haven't figured out yet the way the custom skins/hair/eyes work, some say the game decides randomly whether these will be dominant or recessive, others that they will always be dominant, even when compared to maxis genetics.
