Altering DNA: Skintone Range
broo:
I've been altering DNA's of my CAS families and I'm fine with the eyes and hair but I don't get the skintone part. For example, I have this boy, who's dad has Maxis S2 and who's mom has custom skin that is set to be in between of Maxis S1 and Maxis S2. His dad also has a sister who has Maxis S3, so I made dad have Maxis S3 as recessive. Now I'm altering DNA of this boy and I set his (and his moms skin) to be dominant and his dads skin to be recessive, but I was wondering if I could put S3 somewhere in his DNA too? Is that what Skintone Range field is for? Please, explain. ::)
Madame Mim:
Short answer - no. The skin tone range will be the mother and father's skintones. The dominant/recessive in skin is named misleadingly. They should both be the same number as they are what the Sim is set to display. If you alter both the game will simply display the one you set in dominant.
I think that this is because of the way skin transfer changed over time. It used to be that a Sim could transmit the skin s/he carried from either her mother or father when having children - now only the used skin is transmitted because so many people were complaining when two pale skined Sims suddenly had a dark skinned baby.
J. M. Pescado:
Skin transfer hasn't REALLY changed. How it works is somewhat odd, though, with regards to ranged ("geneticized") and unranged skintones.

Ok, I get it now... :-\

Strange? How?
And, slightly offtopic but close.... Madam Mim, you've said before that making geneticized skins NPC available makes them unselectable for CAS sims? How? In order for my CC skins to be CAS and NPC available, must I have two sets? How do I make them available for NPCs? (I have a lot, so the idea of two sets is, well, bloating.
