What, in Heaven's name, is up with traits?! Scary Pic included
OpiumGirl:
I really feel like traits are completely broken in this game. Today I created a male Sim who was not too bad looking. I try to make all of my Sims very unique to one another so, there are some features that stand out more. While I was finishing him up, I decided to make a sister out of his present state so, while she would look similar to how he looks now, I would continue to work on him a bit to tone down certain features and add a few changes. So, I cloned him. Sweet Lordie. As you can see below, there is something terribly wrong. I understand that in real life, certain traits don't translate well between sexes but, something just seems so off. Look at the jaw and tiny nose on the woman. It's just wrong. Everything just looks wrong. The fellow has a very normal jaw, even a little wider on the scale and yet, she shows up like this.
Is there something wrong in the transition, bug-wise? We all know it's hard to get non-fugly females but, this seems like a badly broken system.
I had some tweaks to get her to look normal and the most outstanding tweaks were jaw and nose. But, what about children in-game? It seems like, if it's even possible, I'll be reworking every single Sim to make them non-hideous unless I intended them to be so. I do want some normal looking famblies, you know. ::)
It this a feature or a bug?
Normal Looking Guy:
Feckin' Scary-ass Twin
Unfuglified With Some Work (which isn't possible once they are in-game)
J. M. Pescado:
Analogue-features are very poorly done in TS3 compared to their TS2 equivalents. As a result, pretty much ALL traits don't translate well. This is probably why the game resorts to parthenogenesis.
Nimrod:
Looks like a normal morph between sexes to me, except the brow was raised a bit much. That was probably to compensate for the enlongation of the smaller face to match the larger one.
Drakron:
its just cloning and sex change, that result was expected since its simply adjusting the facial structure from male to female.
Its not really attempting to create siblings that would be impossible without having to create their parents first (something that was just NOT DONE! in this experiment) in order for the genetic data to work with to actually exist.
OpiumGirl:
Nah, not at all as would be expected if we're following the trend of Sims 2 or even life iteself.
I could make a female that looked semi-decent as a male in Sims 2.
It doesn't seem to matter in Sims 3 if you have two very good looking parents either, as your saying is the true test. I have to say that the *real* way has yielded FAR worse results.
Two very good looking parents have spawned hideous children in many a game. Not at all as it should be in life or otherwise. No way. It doesn't work this way OR the *real* test that you're talking about.
This was just a simple example.
I will add this here so I don't double post:
Here is a fine example of a nice family with traits gone wrong. Just what Pes said:
Father:
Mother:
Daughter:
