- paigeisin5New SpectatorI've been pretty lucky with the genetics. I believe I have had just one male offspring that needed facial reconstruction once he aged up to a teen. His sister turned out gorgeous, so I have no idea what happened to him. When he had a son of his own, I was afraid the son would end up with the same problem. I was pleasantly surprised when he aged up to a teen and looked almost exactly like his handsome grandfather. :o
- Spots_ALotNew SpectatorI only edit the things that we would normally "edit" in real life - clothes, hair etc. I like my sims to look like their unique selves, even if they don't have conventional good looks. I still love 'em!
- KittybassNew SpectatorUsually it's just a few things like hair and clothes. A lot of times they age up with wonky eyebrows so I'll fix those too. I don't usually touch their physical features unless they are missing their chins or have a really distorted body. Just a little tweak here and there. I don't think I've given anybody an extreme makeover.
- simsimsereRising ScoutI want to add that I love genetics in TS4. I've had a lot of sims born in game and really most of the time they are so loveable and unique. I'm really happy with this part of the game.
- LiELFSeasoned AceIt depends. I try not to tweak them at all, save for clothing and maybe hair styles, but when they hit the teen years, sometimes something goes wrong in the chin/jaw area so I'll help them out a little and just tweak it to give it a little more definition.
With the clothes and hair, I usually go by what kind of behavior they had as a toddler, so like a Wild toddler will be an active, ornery child and probably a rebellious teen. So their style will morph accordingly unless their personality seems to change on its own. I like my Sims to tell me who they are. ? - SEREFRASSeasoned VeteranJust their hairstyles, clothing, skills & traits.
- SanniSilliNew TravelerI love seeing how different features pass on generations and how my born-in-game sims look when they grow up, whos eyes and nose, what kind of mix of their parents the kid is.
So basicly I don't touch the genetics at all. Only changing hair, clothing, eyebrows, some skin details etc is allowed :D
Unfortunately there are some bugs with genetics, like this chin thing and also kids not inheriting the nose width of the parent if it's wider than the preset. If these occur I do edit them as I think they supposed to be without the bug. - DoloresGreySeasoned NewcomerI never edit genetics. I edit clothes, nails, make up, accesories and hairstyles though in 90% I keep the texture.
- Gamer_Cat24New TravelerI usually the eyebrows if they come out looking weird.
Other things I change are hairstyles, I keep their original hair colors, but give them a hairstyle I want.
I also change the clothes, but keep some outfits the game chose for them, because it feels like that plays homage to the personality of the Sim.
I have only had to change eye colors a couple times, I would have one parent that was part of the occult, and a Sim that was normal. Since kids inherit a weird color from that, I change it to better fit one of their parents.
Other than those few things, I tend to leave them alone.
I have a handful of in-game Sims that are leaving their overall looks to chance, with some Sims that were made in CAS. Want to see if the Sims CAS children vs. their in-game children turn out better. Most of my families have a mixture of both. - Admiral8QNew Spectator
I edit born in-game sims quite a bit. Based on what I feel that sim should be. Mainly clothing and a few body/facial stuff. Generally try to keep the character as who he/she/they is. The random stuff can get really weird sometimes.
Like wearing a swimsuit or underwear as "Everyday" clothing. heh heh! I think not. :P
