SimPE: Sim genetic troubles

[strangetomato]

I went back into SimPE over my lunch break and saw that none of my changes to genetics had been saved, because I forgot to commit them. Now I feel really silly. So, I went ahead and made some changes, and now I have a new problem. I was following Madame's list of genetic codes, but somehow I've ended up with black hair from Johnny and Ophelia. And missing eyebrows.

Weird, isn't it? I'm not sure where I went wrong. Why would the eyebrows be missing?

I'll have to look at this again later this evening. I hope I just copied the wrong code somewhere. Black hair and the palest skin have the same code, so maybe something went wrong with Johnny's recessive skintone. I put it under skintone, not skintone range (what's does the second refer to anyway?), if that makes a difference. Now I'm worried that I should have used some other sims for my experimenting. I hope I haven't messed up anything that I can't fix.

If you have any insight, I'm all ears.

Wait I just noticed the eyes are Lyran green, yes? So that part is okay... it just must be the skintones and hair colors where the game had a problem reading (which is all you changed, right? I'm slow on the uptake sometimes, lol!)

Yep I think it's just a matter of the game not being able to read the code because it was missing a number or something and should be an easy fix. *fingers crossed*

I didn't make any changes to eyes, so maybe that's why they're fine. I added recessive red hair to Johnny and Ophelia, and recessive skintone 1 to Johnny. That's all.

Well, I assume (and hope) that changing it back or correcting it would just fix the issue. *crosses fingers*
