TS4 Could Use an Improved Genetics System
I really do think that TS4 could afford to have a better genetics system. These are the ways in which I think that it could be improved. Feel free to add your input and suggest more ideas! Natural ...

genetics in sims 4 needs IMO a serious overhaul as it seems tooooo basic and restricted.
idk where i read it but it was noted in sims 4 that children will only inherit features from their parents. so if one parent is a blonde and the other has black hair, and they have a blonde child who marries a blonde then their children are pretty much guaranteed to only be blonde. it also annoys me how i cant have outrageous coloured hair pass down the lines
itd be great for a return of sims 2 genetics where 3 generations in an eye or hair colour from a family founder could surface or in the points mentioned above, alien/vampire/other supernaturals (when released), could have grandchildren and other decedents with the unique colouring options. id like genetics to go a step further, and have sim decedents randomly born with supernatual powers, for example an alien was a founder and 4 generations later hes been the only alien in the family and one of the great grandkids can read minds or if they release fairies a fairy decedent can magically revive plants.
i personally like to have the pointy elf ears on my sims but ive yet to find a way in CAS to have point elf ears on non supernatual sims which for me is disappointingly a genetic option lacking from previous games. i like the points above for 'dyed hair' and with get famous its a great opportunity to bring in 'beauty parlour' retail lots and beauty related careers down the track where we could have permanent and temporary hair colours.
itd be nice if true to genetics the hybrid sims were a mash-up of each parent where if its got a vampire parent they could teleport in bat form but then due to the alien parent it could have a disguise. as mentioned above i can also understand why its one or the other but hopefully they could revamp it a bit so we can have more unique sims
its quite strange how they end up with different bodies. all my sims are usually fit freaks and then one randomly plump sim arrives out of no-where and no matter what they do they cant get thinner

I find it odd when I have a sim with a body type completely different than their parents once they age up. Like having no chin or having no shoulders or hips. It's very strange. I really like your ideas listed above too ?
