Well, I have the answer now to why almost everyone in England is blue-eyed. I mentioned this high percentage to my eldest son (blond, blue eyes) and after laughing himself silly at me thinking blue eyes were dominant, he said that the explanation for all the blue-eyed people here was probably down to Hitler. He reckons Germany probably did invade England after all and 'planted something'. Well, he's a typical Arian, so maybe he's right!

Heh, well I guess I'm an anomoly on two counts.
Compleyely English - completely dark brown eyes, pale skin and naturally mousey brown hair.
Plus I was born with these big dark brown bug eyes of mine - which I am told is an anomoly.

My grandfather had brown eyes. My grandmother had blue. My mom has blue, my aunt has brown. My dad is blue also, I'm blue and my brother. My husband is blue with some flecks of greenish gold. I have six children. 2 of them started gray and turned a greenish/brown, getting more brown every year. 3 of them have BLUE eyes and one has yet to settle her color. Hmmm. I love those brown eyes though. Prolly a case of we always want what we can't have. Almost all my CAS sims have brown eyes.

Wow! I didn't know eye color continues to change throughout the childhood stage. Interesting. I think my most varied family (real life) would be that of my cousin. He has brown eyes and light brown hair and his (ex) wife had brown eyes and darker brown hair. Their oldest daughter is very blonde (naturally) with blue eyes, their middle child (another daughter) has brown hair and brown eyes, and their youngest, a son, has blond hair and brown eyes, which I've heard is a rare combination. My husband and I have almost the exact same color eyes (someone once called them "water-colored", kind of greenish blue) and my son has that exact color as well. No variety there.
As far as my sims go, I just had my first brown-eyed baby (quickly transformed into a child). Very exciting! He's Bella's grandson.

When I was little I wanted brown hair and brown eyes so badly. I lived in New Jersey for a few years where there is a large puerto-rican, italian and jewish population. My little blonde pigtails made me feel so different. :P

When I was pregnant and reading lots of books about this sort of thing, it was always clearly stated that ALL babies are born with blue eyes and their natural colour can take two years to emerge. As I recall, even Dr. Spock said that and he's American (or was, I think maybe he's been taken by the Reaper now). Out of five children I only have one who doesn't have blue eyes, my second, who has hazel like her father. Her eyes didn't change from blue until she was about 20 months old.
