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.

Wow. Thank you. That is so helpful. How did the correct genetics looks for Ophelia? Did she have a recessive red (Willow is supposedly red, according to the genetics in the game, but that's probably wrong)? Is that information listed anywhere, I wonder? I don't want you to go to any trouble to get that from your game, if I can look it up.

I don't agree with the inclusion of recessive alien eyes here (since dominant traits don't hang on as recessives in the game or in real life), so I'll leave those out and make it green too, or make them recessive light blue to tie into his Uncle Vidcund (who he obviously takes after somewhat).
