No, but not because of any altruism on my part. Its merely because I want to see the end result and I can't do that if I alter the progeny. I want to see how the end of a thing turns out (even if I have no clear cut idea when/why I might end a save.) Unfortunate looking sims don't necessarily always have unfortunate looking children. Sometimes the odd mix they either inherited or just randomly 'lucked' into, make all the difference in the next generation. :p
Do you often use unnatural hair colors for your adults or cc hairs? This might be why you have many redheads. I find in my game that Non Maxis Match cc's or sims who have blue, green, or pink maxis default hairs often have redhead children for some reason. Not sure why... Its actually how I determine if a kid was supposed to have a specific sim's genetic markers. A red head gets born to a sim with green hair and a spouse with some other, non red hair, I figure was supposed to be green but since child and below sims can't have green pink or blue hair, it defaults to red.

I have definitely done this. For some reason, the sims has a habit of making all the new toddlers in my game redheads.... While I don’t dislike redheads, I also would like more variety in my game. So I tend to go and edit the kids to look more accurately like their parents.
