Inheritance of Genes

Regarding the Sims 2 Database, what I like about it, is that it shows the genetic inheritance with a little chart. It shows that Grandma passed on her blue eyes, while Grandad passed on his green and then that child 1 got the blue eyes and child 2 the green and so on. It makes the connections visible which I don't think SimPE does, although the information is there in SimPE readily enough.
This "Sims 2 Database" sounds like an interesting program. Could you provide a link so I can check it out? Thanks :D

I can't live without my Database! That is my "precious", as boatnana at N99 would say. ;D

Black and Brown are dominant, Red and Blonde are recessive. Of course you can have custom hair colors that look like these but function completely differently (which is why everyone needs to bin their damned hair unless it's purple or something).
The facial features as far as I am aware work differently. I don't think one feature is dominant over the other other than I believe the child has a slightly higher (60/40 IIRC) chance of getting the facial features of the parent of the same gender over the one of the opposite one. This is for each facial feature, not the whole face as a whole, so 60/40 on the eyes, 60/40 on the nose, 60/40 on the lips etc. The game basically does a random mishmash and puts the features together. You can see this by using the child creator tool in the CAS. The hair and eyes follow defined patterns (dominant or recessive) but the facial features are pretty random.
I guess you just had bad luck. I also know from experience some faces do not blend together very well. Basically the more different they are, the more freakish the kid will look. :O

If you have the debug cheat enabled in your startup.cheat file, you can use the "simdna [first name]" cheat. That pops up a box that shows all the sim's genes and which facial characteristics are dominant.
