Have either one or two alien sims have a babyWhat happens when the bug occurs? The offspring look nothing like the parentsWhat do you expect to see? The offspring to look like their parentsHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. Before Island Living update I have a picture of the offspring.

I think the disguises and true form are both genetic. I got pics of the parents and the child aged up. first 2 pics are the mother, second 2 are the father, and final 2 are the daughter.

@Brandixmarie93 Other don't seem to have issues with aliens (haven't personally played them in a while). I do think that it's some kind of separate issue which is why it didn't get fixed.

@crinrict I haven't really played them in awhile either. And I removed all mods when I tested it so I don't think it's that. But like I said, I can deal with creating them in CAS until then.

@Brandixmarie93 : Thanks!Actually, it looks like the daughter's alien form definitely looks like the mother (but with a lighter shade of blue; could the father's green skin have influenced that?). Also, her disguise does look like a sort of blend of her mother and father's disguises in terms of skin color (biracial) and hair color (mom's), while her face resembles her mother's. 🤔So broadly speaking, it looks okay to me, though maybe it heavily favors the mother's genetics. But do CAS-made offspring have a much better resemblance to both parents?🙂

@StarryMight It may have fixed it a little bit but it's still a little wonky. Usually they inherit the exact traits from their parents whether they inherit from one or both parents. And I think that CAS offspring has a slightly better chance of inheriting all their traits.

@Brandixmarie93 What kind of occults ? Only if a mermaid is involved in the mix or also between vampires and humans or two vamps ?

@crinrict I used 2 mermaids, 2 vampires and 2 aliens to test it out.

@Brandixmarie93 We got different threads for these at this point

- Mermaids. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-IL-Mermaid-genetics-dont-work/m-p/7965782#M93075
- Vampires: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-V-Vampire-genetics-don-t-work/m-p/7978257#M94754

Don't have one for aliens at this point so could you post in the other two and make this about aliens only ?

So occult genetics are totally disabled as of the Island Livng patch? Guess I'll be waiting to update for at least another month... ☹️

@Brandixmarie93 : I just had a thought, though. I saw the pic of the daughter, but that's her human disguise, right? What does she look like in her true alien form?
Also, are disguises genetic for aliens? That's something I've never thought of until now. 🤔
Furthermore, when exactly did this issue actually start? You said "before Island Living update", but what does that mean, exactly?

@StarryMight Sorry, I don't have a picture of her alien form. I'm not 100% sure if they're genetic. and what I meant is that I noticed this bug before the June 2019 update.

@Brandixmarie93 : Okay...and you had the problem PRIOR to the Island Living pre-patch?
What mods did you have before you removed them?

@StarryMight Yes. And I had mccc, mods by littlemssam, sacrificial, weerbesu, bienchen, turbodriver, basemental mostly and some traits and careers. But I removed all of them and still had the bug. :/
