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.

Great pictures!!

Ripp generally throws me a blondie with grey eyes about half the time (when I pair him up with a blonde that is) and I didn't do anything to his genetics. I'm of the opinion that he might be one Strangetown resident that could actually be correct, lol. I'm not sure about Tank and Buck's recessive genes... I haven't made them have as many kids as I have Ripp, lol! And Ripp's kids can be wide and varied depending on the mom.

For example, in my new update *start shameless plug here* I wanted the baby to be a girl and have blond hair and grey eyes. Aerin has blond hair and green eyes, and I must have mae her have that baby SIX times before I got the combination I wanted! I had all kinds... brown hair/green eyes, blond hair/dark blue eyes, brown hair/grey eyes, blond hair/green eyes, blond hair/dark blue eyes... OYE!! O_o */end shameless plug* :D

That picture of all of them popping is hysterical!!! And all the babies all over the floor, OMG how funny! Did they all have twins? Who did you get Johnny pregnant by? Or did you have each have one baby by both of the other trio members?

I bet Johnny/Ripp babies are cute!

*is rambling*

I've had him have a blonde with grey eyes also and I don't even know how to mess with the sim dna! So yeah, I think you're right.

She's definitely right about that. I've seen a lot of people say it and it's there in SimPE when I open it, at least in my game, with all EPs installed.

Yeah, all the Grunts have correct recessive DNA. I've seen it in a number of other people's games, and in my own too.

Nice shameless plug. I did check it out and comment. (I have so many updates to catch up on...)

They all had twins by one of the others, so I could test out all three combinations to see how the genetics worked.

Well, Johnny and Ripp are both cute, so their babies should be too, right? ;) Well, maybe CUTE isn't the right word. They have pretty strong features.
