I RECOLORED MY VERY FIRST OBJECT EVER!

Seriously, other than a couple of outfits, I've never done ANYTHING as daring as recoloring an item because, like, it involved big bad scary SimPE and stuff!

But I REALLY needed to recolor this item because I was going to be good god damned if I was going to Photoshop my cover page as much as it looked like I

Was the kid born after you fixed his dad's genetics? Or before? If it was after then you should be all good. If before, then you'll have to do the Sim Surgery like you did with that dad and then he should be fine. I had to do the same thing with Vaughn Fitzhugh because his nose was wrong. So I have a Vaughn Clone (seriously, that's his name, he looks like a hobo) running around town. But, as you can see by his kids, his genetics were fine.

The recessive part is fairly easy (at least for hair and skintone-so long as you only have 4 skintones), as is the facial features. When you load up their DNA, you'll see what features the Sim has as prominent, and they are labeled like, Ears, eyes, nose, mouth, cheekbones, cheeks, jaw, etc. Not every Sim has every feature dominant and when changing them, just remember the plural.

Hair color is by number, but it's a string of zeroes with a single number before it: 1-Black, 2-Brown, 3-Blond, 4-Red.

Skintone is the same-so long as you don't have geneticized skin. But, say, you wanted to have a character have alien skin on recessive, it's as easy as finding another alien with a matching skintone, copying their string of skintone numbers and pasting on the line of the Sim you want it on. Same would go for those geneticized skins. Otherwise it's all S1, 2, 3, or 4.

Eyes are also a string of numbers. If I wanted to give, say, Zane, light blue eyes on recessive (and in point of fact, I did), then I just pulled up someone who I knew had light blue eyes (and in that case it was Ashley Pitts), copied the string of numbers and pasted it on Zane's eye recessive.

Hope that helps a little bit. Mainly it really helps when you're rebuilding, because CAS Sims tend to have ALL of their facial features dominant and, of course, no recessives if they have a dominant hair color.

Ooh. Bookmarking this for reference for future genetics fiddling in SimPE. Thanks for the mini-tutorial! :)

Ditto - this was very helpful. Hopefully, I'll be able to get through the last 4 generations without another rebuild, but if not...I can keep the blonde gene that's been floating around since generation 3. Thanks!
