Correcting the DNA of Strangetown premade characters
V:
Okay, then, I will ask you my question: why did you leave the recessive facial features blank? Should that be copied from the dominant gene section?
jsalemi:
The only one that should be blank in the recessive fields is the facial features. No sim has that field filled in (AFAIK), regardless of if their DNA is ok or not. The game only uses the dominant facial features of the parents to blend the kid's face.
V:
Is the dominant one always just a list of facial features?
jsalemi:
Yes, but it could be as little as one feature. How the game decides how many facial features a sim should have, I don't know. I checked a B.I.G. toddler before I answered to make sure I wasn't blowing smoke :), and all she had in facial were 'nose, ears', though both her parents have more than that in their DNA.
Marhis:
Now I don't remember exactly where, but a Maxoid said somewhere that that list influence the probability of passing that traits in the next generation: if parent A has i.e. the nose in that list, and parent B not, the probability that the offspring will inherit the nose of parent A is higher than that of parent B nose. If both parents have the same trait in the list, then probability will be 50/50.
I'll search for that original post.
