Genetic issue and toddler spam...

[strangetomato]

Can you believe it's taken me all of one day to run into an odd little snag in my legacy? Yeah, I figured. I'm a magnet for this sort of thing. My alien spawn(s) don't have green skin! I went with stakeit_uk's PT set, and according to her page, there's no cc in the package at all (for me to remove or otherwise mess up), but the offspring have normal skintones. In the PT's family tree shot, he shows up with pooklet's skintone, so do you think that might be the issue? Or is it because Greene is a plantsim? This seems like the same thing that was happening to madame_ugly just recently, but I was sure I was working with a cc-free PT set.

I'm sort of liking the results, so I'm not too worried, but it'd be nice to know what's going on all the same.

Hmmm, really? Do you have a pic of that?

(I'll admit I'm really skeptical about this one.)

Had to go digging but you can see the green baby born from TWO non green sims here: http://madame-ugly.livejournal.com/86256.html#cutid1

Jubilation T. Cornpone Ishkabibble mated with an ugly townie bartender and begat Leonid Ishkabibble, who is green.

AND (http://madame-ugly.livejournal.com/116029.html#cutid1) later in the legacy Simpatico Ishkabibble (non green) mated (and later wed) ChiChi Bertino (also non-green though she may have had some in her lineage, she was one of my mashups) and begat a very GREEN B52 Ishkabibble.

Then Simpatico bred with another non-green gal (a townie) and threw another green child, James Taylor Ishkabibble.

(thanks for this, I had fun going back and looking at my Ishes)

Well, bless your heart! You totally went and dug up some pics for me.

Thanks. This has been very imformative, and I really appreciate the evidence to support this odd new nugget of sim DNA info. What an odd little tidbit. I guess it wouldn't be so off the wall for Jill Smith to have recessive green skin (though not alien eyes). Maybe I'll make it happen in my game.

I'm even more tempted now to start an all hybrid alien neighborhood to experiment with all-alien breeding. I was planning to set something like that up for my story, so maybe I'll get started on it and see what happens a few generations in.

I may have some more DNA info for you in a bit.

I started a new BACC a while back. The founding family is all alien (CAS alien). They've been a breeding but I don't yet have enough generations under my belt to see anything like what went on in with the Ishes (all breeding to this point has only been green to non-green and all spawn are green).

I suppose I could go into simPe and see what their genetics are like but I'm super lazy so will only do it if you directly ask me to (really, if you want to know I'll look).

My big question is, now that I'm running a game that has all EPs has anything changed (genetics wise)? I'm thinking about how the PT thing changed with EPs (how it started out that there was more than one PT, then after a certain EP it was only one, blah blah, that whole story).

I suppose if I was SUPER curious I could do a breeding experiment but I don't feel like having a bunch of random sims around (even in a crap hood I don't actively play).

You could also post over at the sims2 community and see if others can show you proof of recessive alien skin.
