question about custom skintone inheritence

(1/1)

cwurts00:
I've read several different versions of the true nature of sim genetics, but it is about to become very important to my game, so I need to hear the answer from an expert on the subject.

I want to add a few dozen new skintones to my game and have them interact genetically with the s1-s4 skintones.  I understand that each skintone is assigned a number from 0 to 1, and the child inherits a skintone with a number anywhere between that of his two parents.  But I've heard that custom skintones can not be inherited if neither parent has that skintone.  What I want is the ability to assign a number to each of my custom skintones and have it inheritable as if it's a maxis default.  I know how to assign a number to a custom skintone using Simpe, but I don't know precisely how it works with inheritence.

Also, can you assign the same number to two different skintones without causing problems?

SimulatedDork:
I think you're looking for Maxis-replacements. You see, these replacements are CC, but still retain the s1-s4 assignment. So if your s4 sim has a child with a s1 sim, the child will have the replacement (e.g, not fugly) s2-3 (possibly s1 and 4 too, I am not sure).
