Barefoot, pregnant, and at the mercy of InSIM: testing genetics

[strangetomato]

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.

Oh, really? Did you alter the genetics? I didn't think that Johnny had the red hair by default in the game, even though he should. The red hair comes from P.T. No. 9.

Was the skin green or not? I know that the genetics in Strangetown used to be different, and they fixed a lot of them, though removing the recessive red wasn't really "fixing" it, was it?

That's really interesting.

Well, if the skin was green, the genetics might have been okay.

I'm not sure why they'd do that either. I don't know if they actually did do that, since I have never seen the original genetic data.
