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.

The eyes aren't brown, but that sounds right. I probably just did something wrong.

The one thing I can say is that the sims were empty for skintone, and only showed their colour code in the skintone range slot. I added the alien code to Johnny's dominant skintone slot and skintone 1 to his recessive slot. Was that the right thing to do?

I'll just go back and go over it with a fine tooth comb and see if I can fix it. If not, I'll be back to poat a screencap and beg for help.

Thanks for your input! It's very helpful.
