Is there a tuning file for the "Play with genetics" tool in CAS?

I don't see any tuning for that... it's probably handled natively and thus unmoddable. Are you trying to achieve something in particular?

I really appreciate the reply!

Basically, on occasion I may have two sufficiently unique Sims whose genetics I might like to blend and pass along in a lineage. Unfortunately, the play with genetics option gives me a couple problems.

First, I have to have them in the same family. I would need to shuffle Sims between families, or create placeholder clones to shuffle around, in order to create the blend I might be interested in.

Second, when Sims are related I either have to use full edit mode to modify their family relationships to roommates and set it back when done, or create a placeholder Sim clone (creating a twin sibling of one of the two who I then set as a roommate). I can then select that clone as one of the parents using the "play with genetics" tool, remembering to delete the clone afterwards.

I'd like to be able to remove those conditions to remove the extra steps.

Ok, so if I understand correctly you want to generate an offspring of two completely unrelated Sims.

Do you have any scripting experience?

My advice to you is to consider a Python mod. If you download the posted examples, you will find out how to add a cheat command to the game. Also, check out the generate_offspring function in cas.py -- you can find an example of its usage in pregnancy.py to get you started.

Not exactly. Specifically, I'd like to remove the limitations I described above on the play with genetics tool in the CAS. This would let me try the randomize option repeatedly to see how the blended genetics might look over multiple examples.

I don't really have any scripting experience and only recently began looking into XML file modification. I was hoping there might be a way to use the play with genetics tool since it's pretty straightforward. I might try learning python scripting when I get the chance, but it doesn't seem like it's going to get me what I'm looking for.
