Inheritance of Genes
Ellatrue:
I think Maxis made the DNA homozygous to correct the crazy strangetown and Veronaville DNA issues- it seems like the easiest, most obvious thing to do

Its very strange. I noted that when the child inherit a particular skin color of a parent, the child will inherit all facial features of the parent whom it inherit the skin color. I don't know if these 2 are related but I have several instances of this occuring.
Hmm, well, all the sims inherit a skintone gene from both parents, and the expressed skintone of the child may be different from both of them if, say, father is S1, mom S3, and the kid ends up S2. I don't think the skintone and facial features are linked in any way, probably just coincidence
Quote from: Wolfee
has anyone noticed if green is recessive to blue? I have 2 Sims that I had created in Cas where one has a custom blue eyes and the other has custom green eyes. All of their off spring (6) so far has the custom blie but not the green. Pity though, it's such a pretty green and I had hoped it could have been passed on
Since those are custom eyes, whether they are green or blue has nothing to do with the dominance. The game doesn't "know" what color they are. Generally all custom eyes are equally dominant, and if you have two custom eye genes, they both have a 50/50 chance of expressing. But I think there are ways of making custom eyes recessive, too, so that might bring some complications to it.
Jelenedra:
Did you add genetic material to the custom eyes? If not then it is a straight 50/50 shot of getting blue over green. If you did add genetic info, blue and green should have the same genetic trait (2) so again....50/50.

Celebrity sims make the WORST breeding material! They are so distinctive looking. Really when breeding sims the more generic, even if it's pretty generic, the better.
It's not even so much the distinctiveness of their faces as how it seems people go about making them. My guess is that they start with a template that is only kind of close to the face they want to end up at, if at all, and do a lot of tweaking with the various fine-tuning sliders to ge tthe face how they want it. Problem is, a lot of that fine-tuning can introduce weirdness into the features that isn't readily apparent - maybe the nose has a slight bump at the bridge, no big deal, right? - that ends up looking weird and deformed when you switch the sim's gender or it breeds. I've had some amount of success with using a default template close to what I want and then blending in other templates to get even closer, and only then using the fine tuning. I often go back and blend in other templates if I notice something a bit odd happening to the features, then go back to fine tuning. It's more work but the result is better.
There's also the issue that some celebrity sims are made by people who are making a sim based on a celeb by what they think the celeb looks like, not what s/he actually does, and/or doesn't take into account the inherent limitations in building a sim's face.

You're kidding right? I can't tell most celebrities apart.

Motoki, thanks but I am not getting the kitten killer. I seriously have waay too many hacks in my game. I only use the ones from here now.
InSim isn't the kitten killer - it's just another large scale hack that invades your game.
