Inheritance of Genes
J. M. Pescado:
Another thing to note is that for old neighborhoods, at SOME point in the distant past, all sim genetics got munged, and sims all became homozygous for whatever they visibly had. I think there was a thread about this, and nobody ever entirely figured out why this happened, but I recently discovered it in my neighborhood via SimDNA, and had to reconstruct everyone's genetics back to genesis again by hand. Some people actually had to be changed when I discovered that with any correct sequence, the outcome they had would have been impossible.
Motoki:
You know, I think the whole DNA thing is screwy anyhow. I just checked the DNA of a baby sim I had born into the game. She's got red hair (recessive) inherited from her mom, except the problem with that is, her mom has black hair and is a downtownie with homogenous genes for black/black. I never messed with her DNA either, so where the heck did the red come from? ???

so you mean color of hair etc? But for me, I have no problems with color of hair, color of eyes. Its the shape of the lips, the shape of the jaw etc.
Does the game mess this up in old neighbourhoods? This is a very old neighbourhood with more than 5 generations in it. I consider that as old.
Motoki, I had this happened before too. Have you checked the mom in SimPE? Maybe that will shed some light.
Regina:
Mayhaps, Motoki, the same thing happened to your sim that happened to one of mine. A sim married her professor. His hair is brown, hers is blonde, and their baby has blonde hair. I don't know enough about messing with genetics to have created that on purpose, so it seems to have been a fluke.

Sometimes townies have dyed hair. If you want to be really sure of their hair color, you have to check them in SIMPE.
That's the only sure way to make sure what their hair color really is.
