After a long time of playing Sims generation upon generation, I found that each feature in a child sim is random from either their mom or dad. What you had with the daughter looking like dad and son looking like mom's eye- and hair color-wise, should be a coincidence.
In twins, I think they're either identical, or they get (mostly) opposing features from their parents. So in twins, they either look the exact same or the complete opposite. ?
Because of this, non-identical twins often look more like their other siblings, than like their twin.
Here's an example from my current played sims:
Left to right: Monty (dad), Kaylin (firstborn), Emma & Caroline (twins), Hallie (mom).
Notice how Emma and Caroline have opposing hair colors, eye color, skin tone and so on.
Caroline looks more like her older sister Kaylin, than like her twin Emma.

Thanks that's cool! :D Lol, my first born Olivia is a teen now, and she's got a bit rounder body than her dad. XD Her dad is very skinny with some ribs visible lol. Her mom I don't think has that skinny of a body. Sorry, I derailed taking about body shape. I can't remember right now what her face shape is like XD Nor can I remember what her siblings face shapes are. It took 2 single babies to get the twins XD.
For the twins, they are kids right now, so I can't tell their face shapes yet. But currently they take after their dad cause the roundest of child face he still has. And they are still kids, so I'll have to wait until they are teens to get a more true look at their "final forms". But they seem identical, aside from opposing features. I don't think they look like their siblings very much cause they are kids still. But I can say Ben (second born) has the body built of his dad, ribs poking and all lol. But I think he gained a less rounded face since he became a teen.
Lol, I don't know how you got your collection of sims side by side like that (other than viewing them in the creator to get them looking forward and screenshooting it.) I'm not sure if I can with this forums rules. But next time I play, I'll try to get my sim family like you got yours here. So people can understand what I was meaning lol.
Genetics are pretty neat :smiley:
