Aliens and Normal Skinned Children

Are you using any mods that affect genetics? (One of the NRass StoryProgression modules does this - Population maybe?).

In general though, the determination of whether a sim is an alien or not is determined by the amount (percentage) of alien DNA. Anything over 20% is an alien, and those sims should get the alien eyes, powers, and I usually get the alien skin. In my experience at least. The percentage of alien DNA can be determined with MasterController (possibly needing the Cheats module).

I have no idea how NRaas MC's Play with Genetics deals with alien skin tones, which is what I think you are referring to. (But I could be mistaken.) When I want to change an 2nd+ generation alien child's skin tone I use MC to change it to one of the birth parents' skin tones, or take the infant into Edit in CAS and change it to whatever I want.

Afraid I'm going to have lodge a complaint here, over the use of the phrase "normal skinned." Normality is subjective. If an Alien is speaking, it's everyone else whose skin is not "normal." :)

@TreyNutz Once you change the skin tone to something other than alien, does it pass down? I may just manually go in and it so it in cas instead of the play with genetics way and see if that works.

@igazor Aliens are in no way normal. They are abnormal! Complaint denied! Humans are superior species!

Ah yes, there is that 21st century earthling mentality showing up again. I still want to pat all of you on the head and tell you everything is going to be okay. But would you guys just hurry up and evolve already? :p

@igazor Are you trying to tell us something? You being an alien would explain a lot! ;)

I don't know. When I've taken alien infants into CAS to change the skintone it's usually because they didn't get the alien one (due to an old version of NRaas SP), or because I want to make the alien skin they were born with darker or lighter. So, the opposite of what you want to do.

Either the game will pass the skintone you give your sims, or the game will use the alien DNA percentage to pick the alienskintone. I'm not sure how NRaas StoryProgression's Advanced Genetics handles for alien offspring, if you are using that feature.

And yet, look at your avatar. Instead of setting an example and promoting appreciation for the diversity of all sentient lifeforms, you simply adjusted your own selfsim's skin tone to blend in with the neighborhood population. So now whose perspective needs to evolve?

yes you should be proud

This is totally beside the point and not really anyone's business, but for those who must know I most certainly did nothing of the kind. I was born that way (edit: I mean this way), and you have no way of knowing what any percentage of my DNA or that of my parents might be. :angry: :p
