For Scientific Methodology!  Part 2

Generation Five - Magna and Demario Fying


Demario blinked in his face shot.  His hair and clothes are different because I had to resurrect him again to re-take it.

With the caveat that this is a small sample size and it's possible the ladies got lucky with the random number generator always rolling in favour of the mother, it currently appears the chest slider is a straight inheritance from the mother. 

This is something I didn't expect, but it's also looking like the muscle definition is a same sex inheritance, with a possible minor variance.  This dynasty didn't have enough children per couple of both genders to test these findings properly.  If anyone experiments with it I'd love to hear about their findings. 

Also, I'm now convinced that black hair just happens based on random chance regardless of family history.  Personally I can't recall other colours injecting themselves into family trees, but it's possible (whether random colours get pulled from saved custom hair colours I don't know - it might be worth flooding the custom hairs with wild colours to test this further).

Wow! That was high-speed.  Congratulations on eight... unique immortals (and did Morta ever find where she'd left her teeth?)
Ha, no, she never did! 

Congrats, Vinyl!! That was a really interesting look into the genetics, and a seriously speedy (both real-time and Simtime) dynasty!!
It's great fun trying to figure out the genetics in this game, though there's still many mystery areas to me.  The results of the muscle definition sliders were a big surprise!

Bravo, Vinyl!  Well done, and extremely entertaining!  I'll always have a soft spot for Terra.
She's my favourite out of all of them.  That run!

Limited experience suggests that that greeny-brown hair turns up randomly rather a lot.  Probably also a pale blond and a reddish brown - and saved custom hairs have reappeared randomly several times in my games.

So it might be a random chance of any saved colour.  Interesting.  I'm not fond of a that green-brown shade, so maybe it's worth creating a large pool of custom colours to lessen the chance of ugly genetic mutation hair cropping up.  Thanks for the observations!

What a fun and speedy read through! It's a little sad that some of the interesting facial features didn't stick around longer, evening out at Gen 4. Still, I think Gen 3 (Morta?) is pretty interesting looking. Fix the lip curl, maybe a tweak here or there, and I think there's a very pretty sim looking to reveal itself! I've certainly enjoyed your experiment with genetics, as that's an area of the game I've got quite a bit of curiosity about too.

Anyway, congrats on finishing your dynasty! Thanks for entertaining us.  :)

Congratulations on finishing! I have seen black hair crop up out of nowhere too. No idea why.

Congratulations, Vinyl! You're so awesome! I can't wait to see another experiment that you will do in the future :3

Thanks!  I'll definitely be playing around with Morta some more.  I love the adorable treasure troll quality of her features.  If there's ever another tournament challenge of the booming baby variety she'll most likely wind up as the mother!   :D

That black hair is most mysterious!  I'm sure modders and code readers know where it comes from, but to me it's always an unexpected surprise.

Congratulations, Vinyl! You're so awesome! I can't wait to see another experiment that you will do in the future :3
Thanks!  While I have some thoughts about trying the other dynasties, for now I'll be altering my game settings willy nilly and bouncing around households and towns to shake the dynasty house arrest claustrophobia.  ;)

Bravo! This was very interesting to read, and quite entertaining! I absolutely love Tera's hair, she's such an interesting Sim.
I didn't expect it, but Tera wound up being my favourite out of them all.  She already had an edge with her colouring and large features, but she kept entertaining me during the dull moments when I needed it most. 

Congratulations on finishing your dynasty experiment.
Thanks!  It was a lot of fun!

If anyone wants any of the immortals for their own genetic experiments or to give them a much needed makeover, they're all up for grabs here!  And thanks again to everyone for all of the comments - they're truly appreciated!

Hi Vinyl... I was wondering if you would be willing to upload the girl who is one of your all time favorite sims. I agree with that assessment and I want her so much!
