Was soo hoping she would have gotten mikayla's eye shape instead she got my sims boring basic eyes.

@CravenLestat Oh but she is cute! Maybe not the fashion choices though... I hate that skirt for kids. Just give her another sister you know you wanna :wink:

@coco Actually wanna put makeup on my daughter and dress her better.She is a blank canvas with a cute face.But now that you mention it have not had twins in like forever :# random kind not trying for it kind.Will go doll up Marlena, named her that seemed to flow with moms name, but will post the pics.Her hairstyle is not bad can keep it

All I can say is I never had a problem - I just accept what comes along. Then I changed my mind recently when I had a look at what I'd get when I paired up two of my sims. I got such a fright I operated on both of them immediately and make their faces much more alike.

I didn't get a screen shot of the scary monster but - dad had a short broad face and mother had a long narrow face. The result of their genetics that scared me had a short broad head from the eyes up and a long narrow head from the eyes down with a horizontal line below the parts of the wide top of the head that didn't have a corresponding part of the face immediately below it.

Since their plastic surgery in CAS they have produced some gorgeous children.

This pair just aged up to teen.

Although I can't claim the second of the two to be their own offspring exactly. I wanted her to turn out looking like this before I made the parents so when I got such a fright doing the play with genetics thing I changed the parents faces to more closely match her face. The reuslt was the sim at the top. Fortunately the pregnancy resulted in identical twins and I took the first born, seen here on the bottom, into CAS and changed her to make her look like the sim I was after originally. I had a particular story requirement for doing this otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

@coco Makeup on her and different clothes

Also how well the two parents' faces blend has an effect.

Two gorgeous Sims can produce an ugly kid if their facial features don't mesh well.

True that. Which is why I also test offspring in CAS with two potential parents.

I'd like to know where this notion is coming from that attractiveness is universal. There must certainly be those who would find pink hairy snack chips to be a very alluring look even if it's not apparently "in style" at the moment and who would gain positive moodlets just by being near them. :)

Actually it is pretty universal :mrgreen:

Just like in reality, beautiful parents can have ugly kids and ugly parents can have beauties. I appreciate TS4 realism.

I disagree with that. Though it’s nice Sims 4 tries to add a realistic change by not copying features (like irl indeed), I prefer Sims 3’s way for a game because:

Blending features is part of gameplay for me, I like to be able to control that to some extent (and still have surprises at times, quite often in a positive way). It is a game and I love to have that amount of control and the interaction in that respect between my directing and the game’s mechanism of blending when it comes to ‘creating’ heirs. Like a composer if you like, an offspring composer ;)

On top of that Sims 4 doesn’t approach it realistically either. I can have two parents with huge eyes having a kid with eyes like ants and a jawline that is completely random.


This genuinely is the very reason I love playing generational in 3 and being totally uninterested in that in 4 (I play the game with aging off and took my sim’s kid through CAS to adjust her).

@CravenLestat Your SS's daughter turned out well! My poor SS has unfortunate looking sons :#

This is how their kids looked as teens. All are YA now. I realize that CC makes a difference but I have seen vanilla teens that look great too. @Charlottesmom's teens always seem to look good and she plays a completely vanilla game.

I guess the daughter of my sim turned ugly because her father has a rather long chin.
The son turned out better as teenie though, beside a big nose he looks good.

Rather dopey looking (father) + Plain (mother) can sometimes create adorable (at least in my eyes he's adorable..)
