So in my game a number of twins have been born. But I don't think any of them have been identical. Infact most look very distinct from one another...

With one of my households, I've had two sets of identical twins from the same parents! In other instances I've mostly had a split between identical and contrasting.

I've never had identical twins in any Sims game, but that I created them, myself. If you think about it identical twins in reality are VERY rare. Most are fraternal twins (Olsen twins, for example) who just look very muck alike, as some siblings do. I was gob-smacked to learn they weren't identical. I may have to start the family of one of my Sims in CAS. Up until recently, I could change out a Sim in CAS and still change their relationship to the rest of the family using the cheat method. Tried to do it a couple of weeks or so ago, and found out I was barred from editing an already created Sim. :open_mouth: This was game-CRUSHING to me. I don't always rely on game genetics. Sometimes I create a Sim to look the way I wish them to and then insert them into the family, later. It's just not always feasible to reshape the already born ingame Sim to look like the one you created, first. Or, maybe I just lack the CAS skill to do it. I'll give it another go, just in case I did something wrong that other day.

I've even noticed that CAS-made identical twins (through Play with Genetics -> randomizing a twin) look subtly different. I definitely had to make these two in CAS:http://i.imgur.com/wlDeTYd.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/FSpYfvz.pngThe latter looks softer to me.

I've had plenty of twins in my game, but only twice have they been truly and absolutely identical to one another. I had another set of twins born in my game recently, and I'll be curious to see if they grow up to look alike... They're toddlers at the moment and do look exactly the same, but that's happened to me before, and they've ended up having different features later on.

I've had quite a few twin sims in my game, but they were not identical. However, in my save where I play through generations, my sims had two twin daughters that appear to be 'identical'. There isn't really anything in the game that would tell you your sims are 'identical' twins other than your personal assessment based on their looks.Here are the pictures for comparison (they are currently still kids so I cannot be completely sure if they will look alike later on):Spoiler (Highlight to read)-They as toddlers-https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/920562574bafec06c79649a0debeb6644f7feafceac64e40a36a2a5db1265b6e70f7a319.jpg-And as kids-https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/51390497851f91a2abf1d6d8b069f5c8f0c27f59a9f1591cee7e57207d2405aebef6aa1b.jpghttps://img2.brain4.photobox.com/27234171b5aab1ba5e54659eafc6fc2b3f7e8a1adcc131b70e7a80cccf7afa8bbc0b617f.jpg-They as toddlers-https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/920562574bafec06c79649a0debeb6644f7feafceac64e40a36a2a5db1265b6e70f7a319.jpg-And as kids-https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/51390497851f91a2abf1d6d8b069f5c8f0c27f59a9f1591cee7e57207d2405aebef6aa1b.jpghttps://img2.brain4.photobox.com/27234171b5aab1ba5e54659eafc6fc2b3f7e8a1adcc131b70e7a80cccf7afa8bbc0b617f.jpg(Also I don't use any mods) :)

They are about as common as the "Doublemint Twins"

I haven't had any identical twins in my game yet, and I have had plenty of twins but there is always that one thing that is different between them.

I have a total of 104 sims in my game and only one set of identical twins, so I think it's safe to say it's pretty rare... I have plenty of twins that aren't identical.

None of the twins I have had in The Sims 4 have been identical. I assume that identical twins are statistically possible within the game, but I have yet to see them.

Yeah, it probably was never programmed in the first place, it's just a matter of chance if the twins get the same features.

Is there be any real way to tell if your twins are actually identical other than guessing by appearance?

FYI- The MC Command mod has an option to change the chance of twins being identical from the default 33% now in the newest update. You can find it on tumblr the creator is deaderpool.

When i started the baby challenge my sim had identical twins as her first babies and they are actually completely identical, it was the first time its happened to me though. ive had twins before that are identical in facial features but their haircolor and eyecolor are different so they cant be considered identical
