Good Genes III
I've been following the Good Genes III contest over at GoS, and, though I'm one of the lurkiest of lurkers over there, I've decided to enter it. It was way too much fun to pass up. Genetic experiments are always fun, and anything with Maxis sim genetics is right up my alley. I love all the interesting results that have been posted so far, and I'm especially loving all the less than ideal Maxis premades that people are using. You have your usual suspects for what most people consider pretty (lots of Dons, Brandys, and Ajays), but also some very surprising choices, like Consort Capp. Some very cool results, too!
Surprising nobody, I've selected three of my obvious favourites from the Maxis sims, who I also happen to think possess some fine genetic material, when mixed well. Did I get lucky with the blend?
Marlene looks like a Picasso! :D I also found it surprising to see just how Johnny-like Ripp and Marlene's kid was. Markus has Ripp's eye's and mouth, but everything else seems pure Johnny. Imogen ends up with a nice balance of genetics from all three, though favouring Ophelia's features, which is fine by me. And she has Ripp's eyes. Can't go wrong with those!
I also took this as an opportunity to play with my defaults, using the more realistic Maxis-match skins and eyes by Summerdream Sims (and edits of the same eyes by Nilou). I really love this set, but it's too big of a switch to use in my story, so it's nice to be able to try them out. They're very beautiful.
