In my experience, it's determined at conception. Unless you delete the father during the pregnancy, yes I had weird experiments :D
Lol this is how I gave my lesbian sims a biological (well biological to one of them) baby before I had MCCC cheats. Had one of them woohoo with a random guy I named Spe rm Donor and then deleted him since I didn’t want him on the family tree or for the relationship to show up in my sims romances. Honestly didn’t really pay attention to how it affected genetics, my sims 2 daughters really did look mostly like her
That's actually what I did too (my mother was not a lesbian though, just a single woman who wanted a donor). But I wanted the father to stay in the world, just not be related. So I decided to delete him and place a copy afterwards.
But I wanted to see how my baby will look like, I'm a bit of a control freak in that sense and also I just wanted to test it for fun. And iirc I made her give birth two times with the same pregnancy, expecting different results, but children looked exactly the same. When I deleted a father during a pregnancy, a child turned out being almost a copy of her mother.
Maybe I'll test it again, I'm curious.
Cool, thanks for testing! And realistic that the sims would have two sets of genetics, even if you're trying to play with a donor. I guess you could birth the baby while the father is still not deleted then delete him after if you don't want him up on the tree. MCCC really does make things easier - I have had lesbian couples just have babies together and mix their genetics even though that's not actually possible. I like trying to go for a back story even if it doesn't actually affect gameplay, and I liked the realism of having my sim need a "donor" to have her kids - and after they aged up to toddlers, I edited them in CAS full edit mode and made my other lesbian sim their mother as well. I just pretended that it took a little time for the non-biological mom to officially adopt each of her daughters :)
Yes, I like this touch of realism too1 :)
