Nope, you have to do it manually. And it doesn't work with the exotic skintones, unless you count a *color* + white/tan/brown = lighter/darker shade. Put putting colors together, and having an "in between" color, like purple, or orange, doesn't happen. | |

Wow thanks for all this info! Couple of questions though CAS Question: How exactly does the create a twin work? Does it work on fraternal twins? About the event: Is it actually the sims 3 or is the cd just a demo? About the pictures: I guess this is a weird question but I was curious, were just taking all those pictures while you played? |

sims3king, thanks for taking all these pictures and posting a review! Question: So it's possible to change skintones for sims anytime now, i.e. in the middle of gameplay? E.g. if a dark brown skintoned baby is born to dark brown father and fair-skinned mother, you can go into CAS and manually change the baby's skintone to medium brown after it's born? |

Wow, nice work! Thanks! My one and only question is if they are going to release this demo to the public? |

Hey a friend of mine told them that no matter how much she tried to make a sim look like her or a friend, they would always look as if they were both twins. Even the guy looked like the male version of their twin. |

The Create a Twin feature is simple. You just click on it, and it duplicates the sim you just made, and it's only in CAS. It's just a demo, and you can't take it home. You play it at the Apple Store. Yes, I took all those images as I was playing. With my camera, and PrntScrn. No, you can't change the skintone in the game, only on CAS. The Demo is open to the public. You can go to any Apple Store and play it there. |

So, can you choose different shoes for different outfits or are the shoes still 'attached' to outfits iygwim? |

I hear the CAS version up for use at Apple stores is a buggy, incomplete version and missing a whole section of clothes and customization options. (Not really.) Anyway, what sucks about CAS is that heads cannot be made small enough for thin bodies, the eyes are a bit creepy, and there is no customization to make eyebrows thick or thin. You have to just go change their default shape. |

No eyebrow thickness slider? Damn! If things are supposed to be so much more customizable in TS3, why have they cut out certain aspects of CAS that were available in TS2? Oh well, I'm too excited for the game release right now to be bothered much by small limitations. |

The paring down of genetics, proper genetics like in TS2, is a huge disappointment. I'd have to say that in itself is sheer laziness. |

From what I can tell: Weird skintones (blue, red, etc.) do no blend across spectrums (creating purple or a regular-tone/blue mix). Can you have shades of blue and would a child with a light blue and dark blue parent possibly come out medium blue? I have heard that born ingame sims with one dark parent and one light parents can be inbetween shades - is this correct? Also: How are eye and hair colors passed along genetically? |

Yes, this is what I want to know, as well. It makes sense that the different color groups can't combine with one another, but it would be just stupid not to be able to produce medium-shaded offspring from a light and dark-shaded couple of the same hue. |

Well, there are three types of "regular" skintones. Light, tan, and dark, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps the people who got in-between skintones had two different shades of tan, let's say, and the people who didn't paired a shade of tan with a shade of dark. I hope that's the case, so we'd at least get a little realism with inter-hue blending, although it'd be nice to be able to blend between light, tan, and dark, as well. |

Can you still adjust arms and legs separately? I didn't seem to find any sliders that might indicate that, but maybe I missed it? |
