I only use default replacement eyes, because I don't like the EA irises. I like my sims less realistic, and I agree, some of the more CC-heavy sims in the thread aren't recognizable as kids of their parents. Sometimes I find it hard to pick the skintones too. Default replacement skin tones and retextured hair throw me right off as far as family connections go. Anyway, I have some more sims from The Daisy Path to show off. I'm beginning to think that good genes depend on the pairing. I thought Jamie and Chris would produce good kids since they seem to be the sims everyone uses for the dynasties and legacies, but the kids were rather unremarkable.
