Diego Lobo - hair

It won't matter what their "true" color is, whatever their current hair color is will pass on down to the offspring. At least that was how it has been in my game. I haven't done Diego yet, but most of the sims in my game I have changed their hair color to match their eyebrows. But then again, maybe Diego has simply dyed his eyebrows.

I don’t care for his look at all, but I do like him as a Sim and play him often. I change the way he looks but not always the same way. In my current game I gave him brown hair with light facial hair, usually I leave him blond and match his eyebrows. His kids end up with whatever hair color he currently has.
This is him in my current save

This is his son from that save

Here is a pic of him and his family in an older save, it’s what I typically change his appearance to.

Not entirely true, My sim just dyed his color gray and his wife has redhair, and then their son has his dad's original black hair. as for Diego lobos, I usually judged sim's original hair color by their eyebrow, iirc he has brown eyebrows.

I think that's also because toddlers don't have gray,pink,blue (and a few other) hair selections by default, therefore their hair becomes nulled to the first color (which is black). However if both parents have default natural colors like blond, red, black, brown etc. they'll always take to that even if it's recently changed.

So in other words, the game attempted to use the father's hair color, but since it wasn't within the toddler's selection it nulled to black. However though, if the father's haircolor is blonde (recently changed or born with it), the child's hair would be blond if it selects the father's hair genes to go with it.

My redheaded sim dyed her hair blonde shortly after the birth of her first child. Her second child was born with the same shade of hair, despite neither parent having red hair at the time.

I'm wondering then, would grandparents have any influence on genetics? Because my redhead sim had redheaded parents.

I don't think so, by default the game only takes the genes of the parents, thus the redhead baby. Generally, whenever you change your sims hair in CAS/wardrobe or household changes takes place (especially during pregnancy) the baby rerolls its genes. However, in MCC, I believe there's an option where it's possible to include grandparent genetics.

This. Also, if you have cc hairs with cc colors (as in Alpha hairs), kids will most often be born with black hair.

Me and a friend was playing a challenge together and we called it the curse of the black hair. Cause our kids kept being born with black hair, but that's cause at least one of their parents generally had CC hair color. It was fun to call it that, even though we knew the cause. :)

You mean this guy?

Yeah, that absolutely looks bleached.

I'm finally playing with him and when I was giving him a makeover I was updating his hair too. His hair looks bleached and when I put black hair on him to match his facial hair it was too dark. He has these beautiful greenish color eyes that I hope his new daughter inherits,but the color that looked to me like his natural hair color was dark brown. That color went with his eyes and skin tone and actually looks natural on him.

He is fabulous and dyed his hair fabulously ?
