strangetomato | 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.

LOL GROW THEM UP Y/Y?

A HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

I absolutely LOVE that they all popped at the same time. Tee hee hee!! You'd think Johnny would have red recessive from PT, but what the hell do I know? It would be also pretty darn cool to see what all these kids look like (esp the johnny/ripp kids), but obviously that would spoil it for whatever kid combos actually happen.

BTW, they still in uni for this?

Johnny and Ophelia's faces in the second picture are just hilarious (Phi the most for some reason). I just hear the three of them simultaneously going "Oh shit."

Aww no fair that we don't get to see them at least aged up to toddler!! I do have a feeling we'll be seeing some form of these babies later on? Probably not these specific ones, but I know Ophelia made some pretty nice looking kids in my game. But she married that one dark-skinned maid dude... I forget his name now.

What are each of them set to (dom/rec) for hair?

I've noticed red is very "weak". So if, say, Johnny is the only carrier, it might not show up. To hedge your bet, I'd set BOTH parents to recessive red to up your odds (it's still no guarantee, but I've also noticed that in cases of twins, you get "one of each" a lot).

The "ooh, I'm preggo" group pic is hilarious.

Hee Hee! Sinchronized "popping"! Was there also a sinchronized "Shoeflee"? :D

I take the three had twins, right?

I've read that red hair is extremely recesive, perhaps that's why you didn't get that now. You still got the very-recesive grey eyes, though :).

Yeap, its very hard to get red hair children with Johnny. I've played with recessive dna for a while now (I always give Johny always red hair/alien eyes/light skin for recessive and to Jill red-hair+allthealiengenesshedoesnothave LOL) and so far only twice he had red-hair children. Once was with a red-haired townie, so I never knew where the child's hair really came from, but the second was with Erin Beaker, so that time I knew it was him *wink*
Anyways, playing with recessive genes its so extremely fun! You never know what will pop up! lol Even Jill gives me green surprises at times, i love it!! :D

UH! Babies = cuddle time! I love babies! And toddlers! And puppies! And kittens!

Somehow Ripp looks to the more suprised by his sudden pregnancy. than his two bestest friends! ;)

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 love their reactions! Especially Johnny's. Male pregnancy will never cease to amuse me. And that's a lot of babies on the floor! Lol, I bet they could probably handle them... Though they would have no lives outside their house at all.

I just downloaded InSIM two days ago since it updated for Free Time. It's pretty fun to play around with!

And then I realized for the next few updates in my story I'm going to have to InSim Tank pregnant over and over again (and not save) since the baby is already born. The things I do to the poor guy! I've already had him abducted three times for the sake of getting the shots I wanted. He's gonna want to kill me after a while I think. I could just imagine "death of van" showing up in his wants since my selfsim is in the game. Wait, that's already happened. He beat her up like five times for no reason when she was in college. (though she miraculously won against him once)

Heh, baby floor tile. So who "sired" whose kids? Just curious. :)

Also, I can guess that Johnny had two of the green podlings. But who had the other two?

Yay babies!!! :D I wish you had taken pics, but I totally understand about the not getting attached aspect. :D
