Eeeeeeeee! So glad I popped over to LJ before getting on with my day. I have a lot on I should be doing... but eeeeee! This is so worth the procrastination on jobs.
Berni and Naomi are adorable and marisa is a cutie, but oh dear romance. Lets hope it's of the good kind or Berni will go grey prematurely I am sure.
Peach looks lovely. I'm glad she has an actually life in your game. Aww little Opal. The eye shape may be Ashley's but the eye colour is from Tina's simself who married my founder, so from Great Grandma.
Did you dump Berni's MM skin? Because it's very dominant if you leave it on. (The one with the chest hair) It even dominates over SK4 which is why so many Mobacy's have sk1.
Sorry for the procrastination bait, Jo. XD I know what you mean, it keeps happening to me as well - shiny interesting things around the internet are procrastinators' best friends

If she has his skintone then she has the skin, she simply won't get the chest hair-thank goodness! ^_^ She will however pass it on. I gave the skin to my founder Al and it was still going strong on the fourth generation until I removed it in simpe. The only Mobacy to not get the skin was Alisa.
I love the way the kids have all little parts of their ancestors. :)
That's what I figured - girls get a skin tone that is apparently skin #1, boys get chest hair. Marisa (and her unborn sibling) will have a Maxis skin tone as recessive though, so that might make it easier to breed out? Not sure. Though this legacy will be going on for 12 more generations, so, even if Berni and Naomi's line doesn't carry on until then, they will have at least a couple of generations of descendants - enough to breed out Berni's custom skin if their descendants marry sims with Maxis skin tones/other custom skin tones.
It's pretty cool to see so many Randoms, Wonglepongs and simselves in Opal - in some sims, no matter their age, it's quite difficult to tell which feature came from which ancestor. Not in her case. (I admit I like to analyze sim genetics maybe a tad too much... XD) Berni himself takes after his mother in most features, right? I remember that Ray-Ray was the one with the distinctive nose...or was the nose Vincent's passed down from his mother? Maybe a mix of both? Either way, I remember he got his mother's
( ... )
You're a lot better at spotting where things come from then I am. Brows?-not a clue! ^_^ I like that you can though. I think Berni's nose came from his father passed down from his mother. Again I'm bad at telling what nose on females translates to huge ones on boys, but I think it was hers.
I'm only good at spotting distinctive features in (some) sims because I've been doing that for a long while now. XD Practice makes perfect. And I've looked at those features for so long in the House of Fallen Trees line that, by now, I know where everything comes from. Most brows are not that distinctive, it's much easier when they are "evil" looking ones - like the ones Bellatrix passed down to Cassandra, which got passed down to Gabriel, and then to Helled. I think all of Helled's kids got them, but it's harder to notice because all of them got a different eye shape.
Yes, Berni's grandmother did have the same face template as that one headmaster (I think his name is Korey in the English version of the game). All of her kids took after her, they all have that distinctive look. My only problem telling the noses apart is the fact that both Marielle's nose and Ray-Ray's nose become huge noses in male sims, so I wasn't sure if Berni had one or the other. Still, I think you're right, it was probably Marielle's and not Ray-Ray's.
See now I didn't even realize Ray-Ray had a bad nose! Lol, well at least it's Italian to have a distinctive nose. All three kids of the second generation are clones as I didn't know about rolling the dice back then so it's no wonder most of the kids got it. Must be that Nic is the only one to not have a large nose.
I actually like her nose, I was just saying it is in fact big. ;) I don't mind most of the distinctive noses that come with the face templates. Though it's unfortunate for sim boys how girls always end up better off with theirs

I'm learning new things at 6.44 in the morning. I didn't realize there was such a similarity between your country to Italy, but thinking about it it does make sense. The only sims nose templates I really dislike is that one or two which seems extremely unnatural. All the rest have grown on me.
They're both in the Mediterranean area, so they're bound to be some similarities, yes. I've also noticed, for example (from the 2 times I went there, the last time in 2008) that they're also very loud during meal times, always chatting and laughing. That makes me feel more at home, I guess - it's very different from other European counties, like England, for instance. The only time I went there was back in 2001 and I was still fairly young (10) and I remember being a little spooked at how cold and silent everyone was when compared to my country. Though I guess the UK is a better place to visit when you're no longer a kid - my sister went there back in 2009 or so (she was 14 at the time) and loved it.
I think that after so many years of playing this game, the only nose template I really dislike is the Carmen Patch/Gage Uglacy one. That nose looks so huge it's just not natural. (there might be one or two more I'm not too fond of, but right now it's not coming to mind)
