Silly Chintznibbles.

Liss:
cool I'll have to try that.

I had a sim that I tried an unorthodox experiment on, I had her have clone babies. (used the tombsone of L&D to make herself pregnant with...herself).  No matter how many times I did it, it was always BOYS.  She ended up with 4 more kids this way, all boys.  I tried the exit without saving method each time, like 10 times or so (no, I really don't have anything better to do with my time).  Next time I'll use the box and see if it changes.  I was wondering if the fact that the babies were cloned (being pregnant with herself) had anything to do with the fact that they were all boys, but theoretically it's random so *shrug*

J. M. Pescado:
That is not random. If you self-pollinate a sim with itself, the resulting outcome will always be the opposite gender. No randomness here. The logic of *WHY* this was done this way eludes me, but that's how it is.

LK:
The reason why being pregnant with youself results in an opposite gendered baby is probably because the game, when creating a Sim, creates a version for both genders, as I understand.  So, in this situation, the game is just using the leftover version of the original Sim.  That's a theory, anyway.

J. M. Pescado:
No, that's nonsense. It's not using your original sim for anything at all, other than the genetics contribution: If your sim has recessive traits, you may not even get a true clone. As far as I can tell, it's completely arbitrary and hamfisted, much like the way the Make Character primitive forcibly ignores the gender-control argument, for no really obvious reason.
