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.

Some screenshots from SimPE. :) (Crappy MSPaint editing is crappy.)

Well, you've convinced me. Heheh. (Though I still feel compelled to see this with my own eyes now.)

That's nutty. But I suppose it adds an interesting unpredictability to the game, which sort of makes it more like real genetics. You never know when something really random will pop up.

I haven't bred a lot of hybrid sims yet, and when I do, I generally breed them together with other hybrids (well, you know the story, right?), so I don't have anything there to test this.

... or do I? I should check to see what happened with the sim DNA of Nyssa Lionheart and Constantine Summerdream. Or no... he ended up having both recessive and dominant genes for alien skin, one from each of his hybrid parents. I found THAT very interesting.
