Improvements For Genetics

I’m not too aware of how the gene pool is coded, but I’ve both heard and seen that it’s pretty basic. It really bums me out that I only see the same mixes over and over again… 

It’d be amazing if things like dominant + recessive genes would appear in the Sims 4, or at least creeping genetics from grandparents rather than a child being a simple mix between two parents! 😩 Cross-referencing the parents’ etc genes to make sure the new generation are properly inheriting instead of gaining the most random features, yada yada (I haven’t yet tested this part since November’s fix so pardon me if this already works well). 

More hair and eye colours would be great, too; both natural and unnatural. More separate colours as well as colour variants (pinky red vs orange-y red, orange-y brown vs bold ginger etc). Maybe even an advanced custom section that lets you specify whether a sim’s hair colour is natural or dyed, for example. Or an option that lets you select differently shaped iris’. Especially with all of the supernatural related packs we have now!

I believe this would make story-based and generation-focussed gameplay a lot more exciting, I personally LOVE seeing what kind of features each of my sims’ offspring inherit. Of course, it’d also be a little more realistic.
