question about genetics
if i have a sim with freckles or beauty marks, could those features be passed onto their children?

Nope. Freckles and beauty spots are not passed on by the game. In fact, I never even saw them being randomly added.
There's nothing stopping you from adding them manually, as you see would be natural from their DNA. In my game I have one additional DNA-string including both freckles and spots. Also need of glasses etc. What I see is that a sim with freckles might lose them on the next birthday, like if they were regular makeup. So I need to check each sim against DNA on every birthday. I keep all data in a spreadsheet, easy to access.
I wish all this (and more both related to skin and mind) was handled by the game. It also feels very limited that there are only 2 (?) beauty spot positions unless you have Get Famous or download CC. I wish those spots and freckles were included on their skin, and there would also be a chance of spots on their body, not only their face. Pretty much like the pet fur was handles in TS2 (or was it TS3), where a pattern could be the same as parent, but with a slight re-position it would give different visual outcome :)
