My eyes can still change color, generally at will. I can make them go from brown to kind of reddish-glowy. It takes a lot of concentration and if I do it too much, I rupture a blood vessel and get an entirely red eye.
That's funny, because my ex could change his from blue to green at will!
In my family, my dad has brown eyes & my mom has blue. All five of us kids have brown except for one brother, who has hazel. My ex had the blue (or green) eyes, and my kids have: #1: brown, #2: blue, #3: brown.
Another interesting genetic trait is that in my family, everyone has brown hair. My dad had a red beard when he was young, but no one inherited any red hair. My ex had platinum blonde hair as a child, but it darkened to a mousey brown when he was about 10 and stayed brown after that. Of my three kids, the brown-eyed ones have brown hair, and the blue-eyed one has blonde hair. She's almost 30 now, and it is still as blonde as it was when she was little. We kept expecting it to darken like her dad's did, but that never happened. And, no, she can't change the color of her eyes. They're blue, period. But she just had her third child, so I will be interested to see what happens with their hair and eye colors as they get older.

Well, I've got a genetic lesson here - am I in the High School?...:)
Yes, Maxis prefers blue eyes, and even blonde hair for tan/black sims. In the game, the black sims with black eyes and hair (as they should be) look very unattractive. Ophelia has brown eyes, but blond hair, and she looks more attractive this way.
For instance, If I have a sim with very black skin color, I always choose blond hair and light dress - otherwise I can't see the sim's face in the low resolution I have.
Nothing to do with genetics here (it's a game)...:).
I can tell you a new eye color that override (in the game) all eyes colors - green. My CAS sims are always with green eyes, and all my kids - no matter who my sim marry - are with green eyes...:).
So, drop the genetic - it's redundant here...:).

Actually Gali, it may be misinformation, but I have seen in several places that there are genetics that govern appearances of offspring in the game. Custom eyes and skin are always dominant and thus will be seen the most so if you use custom green eyes, then, yep, most of your kids'll have green eyes. Even when they marry a Maxis townie with those infamous blue eyes.
So, genetics is quite appropriate here if this is not misinformation. All my sim children born from CAS sims have gorgeous brown or hazel eyes because that is the custom eye color. I've not married a townie to a townie with different eye colors to see what happens.

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 mother's family involved 8 English (with some ancestral German in there somewhere) kids, 2 brown eyes, 2 hazel, 2 green, 2 brown - still not sure how that happened.
Meanwhile I (English/Greek by genetics, Australian by location) was born with my big brown eyes - so I'm just as anomolous as you trubble. My hair started out almost blonde, but as time has gone by I've gotten darker and darker brown. I wouldn't be surprised if one day it goes completely black.
I'm told I also, when I was born, had a blue bottom. Apparently it's a sign that there's some Turkish in my (probably) Dad's side.
Cripes that sounds weird!
(Edit: realised I missed a key word in one of those sentences. First one to guess which word gets, um, a bene in the BBS?)

My eyes are.. err... odd. One is golden green, kind of "army" green I guess. The other one is that same color, but with a patch of very dark brown. My eyes are like camo!
