Whenever I have twins with two parents of different hair colors, almost always the twins are born with different hair colors but exact facial structures.

Default "Test Audience Effect"

I wouldn't doubt it. It is that "Test Audience" effect, for some reason, the test audience always hates the greatest things about something. So it gets lopped out.

The other won't become recessive because CC skins are as dominant, always. If there are two CC skintones, one will be chosen randomly for the offspring. But it will not work genetically.

Even with default face replacements, Townies still make the ugliest babies with the worst facial combinations. There is no growing into those faces, it's just pure ugly from toddler to adult.. D:

Well, my Alien / CC skin couple (see avatar) had their twins last night. Both babies had the Alien skin. I also use CC eyes with my Sims and one baby had the father's (Tim) eyes and the other had Tim's mothers eyes.


PS I've had a lot of good luck finding decent looking townies.

I finally got past one generation with my sims, thanks to my first legacy. My heir had to get himself a baby producer, so picked an old flame frome college. Well anyway Suzanne Pons makes some horrible looking children, all with slim lips and weird noses. Damn you Suzanne! There goes the legacy supermodel calender. :(

I just started a new legacy and they had kids, im scared to match them up with townies!
They all look so HORRID in my game!

Has anyone ever seen this before? My daughter's sim had a baby, and it looks like this:

It is the great-great grandchild of Julien Cooke (and Pollination Technician). She has Phaenoh's genetic eye colours in game, and JoyLyn's extra Maxis skintones (hence the baby is S3.5). But I've never seen a baby with Alien eyes and sim skintine before- I thought the eyes were linked to the alien skintone? She does have Pescado's creaturefixes in game, which fixes some problems with the alien eyes, but nothing else to affect this. Is this something that is possible but rare, or is the game glitched? I've tried countless times to get a baby with sim skin and alien eyes, to no avail!

The alien eyes and human skin tone is probably possible but rare. I have had it only a couple of times in my game. However, it could be a glitch. Sorry that didn't really answer your question haha!

I have had it before (quite a lot actually)... I have alien babies with normal eyes too.

Also... Does your daughter have alien eyes seperatley downloaded (as CC?)

No, no alien eye downloads. The only genetics in her game are the extra skintones and the extra eye genetics (which are just different shades of sim eyes, no alien look alikes). Maybe she got this because it's so far down the line- I don't think I've had any sims so distantly related to an alien before. As you can see, the baby's mother has the green skin and also has alien eyes, but the father is a homozygous townie, brown eyes brown hair.

simsample: This kept happening to me. I had alien eye defaults though - and once I removed them then everything went back to normal. All adopted children in my game got the alien eyes - they had to go.

simsample, I've seen it in my game, but only after a long session of an alien sim having kids with a townie and wondering why, despite having default replacements, I was still getting the Maxis brown eyes on the offspring who had Maxis skintones.

Basically the coding is screwy for alien eyes. Genetically all the babies I was being given with brown eyes had the alien eyes, but they were unable to show it, and instead were showing the eye colour on the skintones.

I highly doubt it's anything to worry about. If it is, then all the people who have legacies where at least one sim has normal skin/alien eyes needs to start worrying :P

Edit: The main reason I wanted to post here...I've had blonde hair as a recessive gene for a legacy founder (who showed black hair), and it showed up on his great-grandson in the main lineage. The founder married a black-haired woman, their black-haired daughter married a brown-haired man, and their brown-haired son married a blonde-haired woman. Out pops a son with blond hair.

A different family: the starting couple were a black-haired husband and a brown-haired wife, and their son got black hair. He married a red-haired woman and all of a sudden they have two blonde-haired daughters. Turns out I'd given (and then forgotten I'd given) the starting wife a recessive blonde gene.

I kind of like seeing how ugly my Sims will get. Once you introduce Goopy to the gene pool... Well, let's just say that if you're looking for ugly Sims, he's the Townie to use.

I started out a custom neighbourhood with a fairly unique-looking male Sim. He had blond hair and grey eyes. I made him marry Brandi LeTourneau, who has brown hair and grey eyes. For some reason, all five of their children had black hair, and only one (the fourth) had his father's facial features. Go figure.

I notice that a lot of my sims noses seem too short for their face. Y'know, the gap between the nose and mouth seems kinda big. It's reaaally annoying. Even if the parents are both beautiful the kidlets turn out weird. I guess it's because the face templates aren't combining very well. :/

I scouted this a bit at MATY, and according to Pescado, in the original game the alien eyes were linked to the alien skin...

He also mentions that his fix corrected this. Therefore, alien eyes appearing with normal skintones should in fact be enabled by creaturefix.

Thankyou yinakori- yes, I read that a while ago and completely forgot to add it to my post. It seems that the original intention was for the game to allow the alien eyes to express on the 'human' skin, but that it was broken. I had originally thought that the creaturefix hack just cured the teen alien eyes and the vampire overlays, but it seems that Pescado has rolled this in at some point which I hadn't read on the forum. He has a habit of summarising the function of the hack in the documentation- for example, creaturefixes says 'Skin coloration and layering fixes' which you wouldn't necessarily understand included this!

Yes, very true. The only reason I knew about it was because I searched for that problem specifically and found his little commentary before anything else He does seem to have a habit of not informing people properly, doesn't he? I think he's overestimating our mind-reading powers a bit XD
