Identical Twins
J. M. Pescado:
Well, pre-Uni, all sims would spawn with the same aging outfit for every age category unless you had an existing set of uniforms, in which case one was randomly selected so that it would clash as horribly as possible. Alternatively, you got the "Tracksuit of Shame".
As for "identical" twins, either your parents had very similar personalities so there wasn't much room for random variance, or you were suffering the Firstborn Effect, which normally doesn't apply to twin births, unless you were to do something like reboot the game and advance to the same sequence number before the second baby spawned. However, appearances can easily be identical, particularly if you pick the same hair and are using gen-zero sims with homogenous genetic traits.
HRH Posie:
No problems gali ;D
J.M: Genetically the twins have black hair however when they became children I changed them to blonde with the 'change appearance' at the mirror. They look so similar to their twin sisters that I changed the hair colour to tell them apart. I chose blonde as they have a recessive blonde gene from Skip. They are indeed first gen sims however the other twins have quite obvious differences. Thanks for the response.
J. M. Pescado:
Ugh. Hair dying. How revolting.
Also, what's a "Posie Flump", anyway? I notice you wandered by the chat while I was off excavating earlier yesterday.
HRH Posie:
Indeed, I was setting up my copy of mIRC and I just wanted to check everything was working as I intended. Well Posie Flump is a puppet from the late 1970's British TV show called 'The Flumps'. My avatar shows the Posie Flump puppet. There was Grandfather, Mother, Father, Perkin, Posie ad baby Pootle Flump and the show focused on their lives. That's about it really! I was born in '76 and it's a reminder of my childhood.
About the personalities, Brandi and Dustin have Neat 3, Outgoing 6, Active 4, Playful 6, Nice 6 and are Aries. Skip has Neat 5, Outgoing 8, Active 6, Playful 3, Nice 3 and is also an Aries. It wasn't exactly a great surprise to have children with the Aries star sign.

Those are the most identical looking twins I've seen. I've seen posts where people have said 'identical twins' where the eyebrows are visibily different, or some other feature, like eyes, or size of nose or mouth. My thought, dumb luck and maybe some of the features of the parents are similar (as expressed on a male or female face).
On the other hand, the sibs in most of my houses tend to carry whatever family resemblences pretty strongly, and tend to look a lot like each other - as they're not always in the same age at the same time, I can't tell how close, but as all the game born children have 3 parents (unless you turn that off) - the mom, the dad, and the 'average' face - it's not surprising that they look similar. That's also why most babies look almost identical to each other - to avoid dirt ugly babies the babies display mostly the maxis standard baby face. I have had a couple sims now that produce dirt ugly toddlers (they are okay as babies), the eyes come out looking bad, but as they age, they 'fix' themselves and look normal.
