Genetics
Is there a certain way that sims 4 genetics work, or is all 'randomly selected?'
In sims 2, we had a fleshed out genetic system with domiant and recessive genes, for example; 2 parents, one was blue eyed and the other was brown. It would be most possible that their offspring would have brown eyes as that was considered the dominant gene. This system worked for skin tones and hair colour too.
In sims 3, correct me if I'm wrong, but there was also a sense of dominant and ressessive genes, as some genes would skip a generation. Also, if twins had offspring themselves, there was a greater chance of also reproducing twins.
My question is, is there anthing like this in the sims 4? Sims don't inherit facial details off their parents, such as freckles or even teeth. It appears that hair colour will either be one of the parents, or somewhere inbetween both- the same goes for skin tones. In the next version of the sims, do you think we may get a more fleshed out inheritance system, or do you think it will be an appropriate sort of 'random?'
