Just a little observation. With GTW, the sims in Science career can take DNA samples from other sims. Now, this is a pretty tough task, as you must be at least Best Friends to take it and have relationships bar filled. But all it (DNA sample) does is giving information about sims' character! Well, during building relationships that high you are almost sure to already know everything about sim's character, so DNA sample has no value at all. I suggest it should have some other functionality. The most obvious and logical one would be to clone the sim you took DNA sample from without said sim being present - simply straight from the sample.Just a small idea.

I've been able to get DNA samples from Sims who aren't even friends - they might say no one time but yes another. You don't need to have that high a relationship. Also, there are times when you get other kinds of info than just traits.

Oh - I just thought of something else, this time while my Sim was taking a sample from an acquaintance: get your charisma level up. She's at level 6, and it might be part of what's making it easy to get samples.

Ok, maybe it's charisma, still not worth it. What is this "other" info? Never got ANYTHING other from level 1 to 10 in Science career.

DNA samples are still useless to the date, still no cloning available :(

At least SOMETHING would be enough :/

I've never played TS3, but watching some video on Youtube I've noticed that something similar was already made in TS3! I'm not sure if it only worked with Plantsims, but taking a DNA sample from them and using special machine would result in having a baby-clone of that sim!
In TS4 it would be greate to have something similar. The difference between using clonning machine on an adult sim and on a DNA sample would be that adult sim results in the adult clone, and using a DNA sample would result in baby-clone.
Wouldn't that be awesome??

In previous Sims games it was possible to make clones, zombies from dead sims and perform plastic surgeries (TS2)...and all the fun stuff.
I am really surprised that there's none of it in TS4.

It's ok that DNA sample discovers traits and aliens, but c'mon, its a D N A SAMPLE, it has to have more to it.

I love the idea of being able to determine parents (and their traits), clone sims, use some of the attributes to alter details on existing sims (like add a trait or eye colour), and do all sorts of things you can't the other ways.

I wonder if this is even the right place to write suggestions like this...

Well, it's "Ideas Corner", where else can we suggest something? :)
