My game exploded and now clones are taking up my genetic possiblities...
rufio:
Well, I've definitely had sims inherit their mom's nose, and other sims inherit their dad's.
Kyna:
Given that the following information is from the section on genetics in the Base Game Prima Guide, it cannot be trusted to be correct.
The Prima Guide lists five facial features: brow, mouth, eyes, jaw, nose.
Compare this with a sim whose DNA I just checked, randomly selected, he just happened to be on the lot I'm playing right now. For him, it lists as dominant: brow, mouth,cheek, cheekbones, eyes. Why am I not surpised that he has dominant facial features that are not listed in the Prima Guide?
For what it's worth (not much really), here's some more info from the Prima Guide.
Quote
When a sim is made in Create-A-Sim, each region of his face is randomly labeled dominant or recessive. Gender, however, makes certain features more likely to be dominant than recessive.
Dominance Probability for Facial Features:
Feature Male Female
Brow 66% 50%
Eyes 50% 66%
Nose 66% 50%
Mouth 50% 66%
Jaw 66% 50%
If only one is dominant, the child has a 66 percent change of inheriting the dominant feature. If both sides for a region are dominant or both sides recessive, the inheritance is random.
What I'd like to see is factual information of this nature, from a more reliable source than the Prima Guide.

Commonly used acronyms are in the FAQ, dnilecosplayer. The spikiness sounds like a problem with your video card but that's the extent of my knowledge - I'm sure there's info somewhere around here on how to fix it though.

I wouldn't trust anything official for sims, except patches perhaps and random cars from some deal they made with ford..... And also knowing maxis I'll be waiting a long time for the AL patch. Which I wont be playing that ep before it comes out. I have enough crap wrong with my computer and sims put together....
An accurate inheritance chart would be nice...I could play my game in a more scientific way....but I doubt anyone could find out those values? Besides the creators....right?
But I'm pretty certain that its the video card that's doing the spiky-ness but its a new card...and the one that comes in the computer wasn't better so I guess I'll just do some searches through the site to see how I went from bad to worse in so many ways.
Also, thanks @ theangelofdeath. I understand so much more now.

And I would love info on that. It's always the really bad stuff somehow...like Loki Beaker's eyebrows.
Loki's eyebrows!! How can you not love Loki's eyebrows? They're magnificent! They could give Pescado's beard a run for its money.

Yes, that sounds like issues NVidia cards produce. Try updating/rolling back drivers - or, probably better, wait for some knowledgable NVidia person to come along who knows more.
