As I love blond hair and blue eyes irl, I decided to start a legacy family full of blue-eyed and blond Sims. First generation was super easy cause I married my sim to Björn Bjergsen (cause I love him so much!). Then their daughter, Olga, married Lucas Münch. They had two really beautiful girls and there the problem starts. As the premades already died I had to find them townies that would match my expectations. I know how genetics work and that brown eyes is a dominant gene but I didn't know it is so hard to find ANY sim with blue (or even gray or green) eyes! I could create my own Sims and move them in but I just want to keep it kind of random. I could also change the eye color of some townies using the cas cheat but if I did so I'd feel like a cheater. I just want the game to flow without my interference when it comes to generated Sims. Is there any way to have more blue (or gray/green) eyed sims just like that, without me doing anything? I'm getting sick with brown color EVERYWHERE.

Just like in real life then :D If you want to keep it random but still get blue eyed sims, the only thing that comes to my mind is to start a hashtag #blueeyes or something like that on the gallery and people would upload their creations. Then, without a second thought you could just add them to your game, not checking them out at all (or as little a spossible) so you keep the element of surprise. People can upload entire families (so the kids would grow up and could be also potential matches for your future generations)I know is still not what you want but it could be fun.

I don’t think Sims 4 does dominant-recessive..? Also, this isn’t like real life at all. If it were there wouldn’t be any blue eyed people left in this world and that’s not going to happen.

I ran a challenge earlier this year, where the goal was to pass on black hair and green eyes. I never found spouses with green eyes, it was always black hair+brown eyes. Still many of the kids got green eyes. So I would think that no matter how your spouse looks, there would be a 50% chance to inherite the blue eyes.

So many brown eyes! | EA Forums

I tend to edit some Sims to have different eye colors when brown starts to dominate. Keeps the game fresh when all Sims don't have brown eyes.

I hope it'll work, thanks!

I've found that a lot of townies, or generated sims, for example generating a sim using the wishing well, have brown eyes.

I'm playing a new family where the couple have green eyes, and I found that more than half the children have got brown eyes!! There's only ever been green eyes in the mix so not sure how this can happen?! I've gone into CAS and changed the kids eyes to green - it's annoying though!!

Are you aware that green eyes are more recessive than blue eyes, in RL? I know, I got stuck with them. :'( Both my sister and brother got the blue eyes. There is also a very evil rumor that (natural) red hair is not going to be around in the future, that somehow it's going by the genetic wayside. I have no clue where such garbage comes from, but there you have it.

As for changing out the color of eyes in CAS, you have to be aware that the original color of the Sims' eyes will prevail in their offspring. Same with their hair color.

Omg I'm so scared now cause I changed my one sim's husband eyes to green and she gave birth to a baby and the baby has brown eyes! Will it change once the baby is toddler or will I have to change it in cas? :/
