Barefoot, pregnant, and at the mercy of InSIM: testing genetics
Recently, I tried fiddling with the recessive genetics in Strangetown, using SimPE, since madame_ugly was nice enough to explain it all to me a while back. The return of InSIM made it easy to test them out, so that's just what I did, using my favourite approach - the HANDS ON method.
Yes? Is there something you all wanted to tell me?
That's right, my friends. You got knocked up via InSIM, and you'll have no idea who the other parent is... oh, wait, yes you will. The green ones are Johnny's.
Ophelia: Okay, it's time to clean up these babies, guys! Get to work and start picking them up.
I love how the children of Ripp and Ophelia have such a wide range of skintones, instead of just ending up averaged out (that seems to always happen for me).
Even with all of those babies, I didn't get any kids from Johnny with red hair, so I'm not sure if I correctly changed his genetics. I'll have to test it out again. All of these kids had blond hair, so Ripp's recessive genetics are definitely working (I had some grey eyes too).
It's so nice to have InSIM back. I'm not sure if my sims agree, though.

no subject
None of the Smiths have recessive genes, but it's only the red hair that they're missing, since all the alien stuff is dominant. It doesn't make sense that they don't have alien eyes, for example, but it makes even less sense for them to have these as recessive genes, because it simply doesn't work that way.
I did age the kids up to take a look. At this point, none of it surprises me, since I've played around with them in CAS too, just to see what the possibilities are like.
They are still in uni, and they're still young adults even. That's a little different, since I used to have to age them up to get them pregnant.
