Kids who don't look like their family?

Curious to see if any of you have ever had kids who don't look like their family. My sim came from a long line of black haired sims, her mom has black hair, her grandma had black hair, three of her sisters have black hair, not including her, her nieces both have black hair, and she has black hair. She had a kid with Vladislaus. Vlad's hair is white in both his human and his dark form, though he's bald in his dark form. And my sim has black hair in both forms, yet they had a red headed child...not sure why because they had a son later on and he had black hair like his mom. Addie's sister is another example of a time when a sim kid looks nothing like their parents. She has normal parents, but for some reason, her cheekbones are insanely oversized. They are so stuck out, it looks like she has tumors on her face or something...It's like Maleficent but four times worse. And her eyes are very small, which is weird because her parents don't have characteristically small eyes...She also has brown eyes when every one else in the family has green or blue eyes. It is very confusing when kids look nothing like their parents or have very prominent features that nobody in the family has.

  • I have a lot of kids that look like they were adopted or the wife had an affair even though the baby is both their child instead of born into the family; but I have some mods for skin and eyes, etc... and assume that might be part of the problem.
  • The game sometimes picks a color of one of the parents, but it can also pick a color between the parents. Since the parents were at the extremes on color bar, it choose an in between, red. It can do this with skin color also.
  • I don't have many nice things to say about Sims 4 genetics. Of course, one can always attempt prettify a Sim using custom content. But the fact remains that, usually, if one wants somewhat decent looking offspring, CAS is the place to create it in order to avoid strange and illogical distortion of otherwise good looking, normal features.
