My Ramaswamis are clones....
ZephyrZodiac:
Right, Priya and Sanjay are both desperate for a baby, but despite upping the odds as high as they would go, they never have any luck. So, since even the Trying for Baby pop-up didn't appear (Casual Romance installed, of course) I decided to check them out in SimPE, and discovered that they have identical DNA! Various ideas came into my head as to why this should be the case, but I can only assume that Eaxis has some rather twisted idea of what's clever!
So, it seems that, unless I can alter the DNA of one of them, the game won't actually let them breed! So, do I let them each have an affair in order to satisfy the want, or do I attempt to change the DNA? If so, does anyone know a safe way of doing it, bearing in mind I don't want to recreate the couple since they are already in game - I just want to add a bit of interest to playing that household.
Kyna:
Identical DNA wouldn't stop them trying for baby. I've created an identical male & female couple in CAS before (one was simply a clone of the other with gender changed, so they were identical not just in their hair/skin/eyes but also in their facial structure), and they were able to breed.
One thing that would stop them trying for baby is if the game saw them as family but not as spouses - check their relationship to each other in SimPE to see if their relationship is undefined or some other non-spouse relationship.
J. M. Pescado:
How do you KNOW they have "identical DNA"? By reading the SDNAs? SDNAs only contain information like hair, eye, skin, and facial feature dominance. Even having all of these identical between two sims does not make them clones.

Well, yes, they are marked as family, but also as spouses, and I've had plenty of family sims who see their spouse as family and have no problems I did think of unchecking the box, but I was worried about the DNA.

Thanks, JM, I hadn't realised there was more to DNA than that, so does it just mean that the same face template was used for each of them, or something like that, and would they therefore have normal babies if I can actually get them to have any?
Kyna:
They should be marked as family. However, my point was they should also be listed as spouses. If their relationship says "unknown or undefined" or is something other than spouses, then you need to change it to spouses.
Disclaimer: this may not be your problem, I was just throwing it in as an idea, as it's something easily found & fixed in SimPE.
