Correcting the DNA of Strangetown premade characters
Dea:
I changed Jenny's DNA to make it so that she isnt homgynous and would have a little from her parents too. Well I made it so that she has both S1 and S3 in her DNA...For Skintones Passed on I made 6(dstring) S3 and 268435462 S1. It changed her skintone from S1 to S3...Is 6(dstring) supposed to be the same as Expressed Skintone 2 (dstring)...Bc then it would seem like 6(dstring is actually expressed skintone or am I confused at what they really mean...I did the same thing to Ophelia...I went back in SimPe and switched what I had for 6(dstring) and 268435462 and their skintones matched their originals...Am I messing up future generation skintones or am I on track now...Im changing everyone's DNA in ST so that they arent so homogynous...I guess what I need to now is if I want Jenny to pass on both S1 and S3 how should I change it?

Yes, when a sim has two different skintones to be passed on (like S1 and S3 in your case), there is a 50/50 chance of passing one of them on with each future child.

I have made a lot of experimenting with skin tone genetics and I have come to the same conclusion as you. The skin tone code on line 6(dstring is the skin tone of the sim. I first found out when I repaired the DNA of Jill and Johnny. I liked her to pass on the alien skin tone from her father so I put alien skin tone on 6(dstring and white on 268435462(dstring. I did the opposit on Johnny. It turned out that Jill became alien and Johnny was white. I switched the code for both and Johnny turned to alien and Jill to white.
I then made a table with the skin DNA for a lot of sims:
Example: Parent1,white Parent2,black Son,tan Son's Wife,alien Child of son,tan
2 (dtString) white black white alien tan
268435458 (dtString): white black black white alien
268435462 (dtString): white black tan white alien
6 (dtString) white black tan alen tan
The only line that conequently showed the skin tone of the sim was 6 (dtString). I think 2 (dtString) is used for the same purpose on all corrupted sims that don't have a 6 (dtString). The code at 268435462 (dtString) is the second "pass on" gene.
In a complete DNA the 2 (dtString) and 268435458 (dtString) is the skin tone DNA from the parents. Those two codes are used as a "range" to calculate the skin tone of the sim.
So the explanaton of the four codes are:
2 (dtString) Parent1
268435458 (dtString) parent2
268435462 (dtString) Pass on, Recessive
6 (dtString) Pass on, Dominant and Expressed
Correct me if I'm wrong!

I agree, two of the skintone genes are only there to show which genes the sim inherited from his/her parents ("skintone range"), and the other two are expressed/passed-on genes.

Because the child has a human skintone, it theoretically cannot have alien eyes. We know this doesn't always work because there have been some scary-looking sims born who had alien eyes in human skintones, or had alien-sized eyes with human-coloured pupils. But in theory, it shouldn't happen.
Hmm -- I had something interesting happen that seemed related:
Sim Walther is 1/4 alien. He expressed a human skintone and (I thought) ordinary brown eyes. None of his anscestors had any custom genetics. When I downloaded replacements for the default Maxis eyes, every other Sim's eyes changed to the new defaults, except Walther's. His remained the regular Maxis brown instead of the new replacement brown.
Does the game have some kind of "replacement" alien eyecolor for Sims with some alien genes but an expressed human skintone?
