Hey @simmythesim @pbox ,
Yes this region is different from the Region Map.
The Sim Region enums are documented here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/13828373 (I need to update the Sim Modifer .bt file with this info). It is not possible to add new ones, as they are hard coded in C++. Notice that there are face and body regions, which is relevant to genetics
A quick summary of genetics:
- For each facial region, the parent from whom the child will inherit from is chosen randomly.
- For all body region modifiers, the child inherits from the parent of the matching sex, or random if both parents are the same sex.
- There is some additional tweaking that happens, such as adding variation.
- The code looks to be written such that it will properly handle passing down multiple modifiers on the same region.
I used the custom slider (the one pictured in the dmap thread), applied it to both the mother and father and had a child. When the child became a young adult they indeed inherited the modifier, I believe the modifier did not appear when they were a child as it was not set as enabled for children. So it seems to be working roughly as I would expect - how are you testing?
