Please don't add any sliders or color wheels. Please.

We had 3 or 4 skintone sliders for Sims 3. If I had Sim A, who had a skintone from Slider A, get with Sim B, who had a skintone from Slider B, then their child would either come out with Sim A's color or Sim B's color - no in between. That's not better genetics to me - that's limiting.

We had the color wheel for hair. We could put in highlights etc - not a problem, that's cool. But then when it came time for the genetics, I would get all kinds of funky hair colors for offspring. Why? Because there was no controlling the color of your child's hair with a color wheel. And then, in order to change it, I would have to go in the game, write down the specific color code for the parents' hair color, put that color in...etc. That's a process. Same thing with eye color. I don't want it.

Not to mention, the potential cost in game performance.

Also, even though a lot of people on Twitter or even online may be clanging for it, there are other people besides the Twitter crowd or the extremely online crowd that the Sims team should be thinking about.

If they want to make it optional, great - put it out there as an optional download that people can pay for. Problem solved! I'll be so happy for everyone who just needs this exact shade, these exact highlights, but don't FORCE IT on the rest of us. I just want the genetics in my game to remain functional, and simple. I don't want to have to go through a process to get the right hair colors. I don't want my kids limited to 2 skin colors because their parents have colors based in different sliders.

None of this supports not having a color wheel ?It’s simple as pie just to change your sims hair back to a regular shade before they have children. The child’s hair doesn’t have to mirror the parents ?. Not even in real life does this happen much.

Also in the sims 4 , without a color wheel for Skin, genetics ? does not always make the child’s skin tone in the middle , it often makes the child be either the mom or dads. This argument is weak and if color wheel is added it will be across the entire platform. Streamlined . And those who are not for it will cope.
