"Once upon a time, the Mighty Player sent a Sim to live in the world where all its creations were living happily. But this very Sim had something special that no other Sims had, unique eyes that noone before had seen anything alike and a hair colour that astonished everyone who saw it. She was destined by her creator to give birth to a heir with the same special looks who would get the same task until the genes had prospered for 10 generations. But their creator wouldn't let them pass that easy, because those with the perfect genes would forever hate their own children."

Welcome to the Perfect Genetics challenge!

This is a challenge for The Sims 3, created by me and a friend of mine from the Swedish Sims community, Henkla. Easily described it has one main goal; you should create a sim with a unique hair and eye colour, and make it to the 10th generation without losing the genes. More detailed rules you may find below. No cheats are allowed when you play if you follow the rules to 100%, the exceptions are moveobjects, resetsim and building cheats if needed.

Create your Sim
Your first sim is the one who will start the challenge, and you are allowed to make him or her almost any way you want him or her to be, but there are a few rules:
- your Sim must be YA or Adult
- your Sim must have an extraordinary hair colour (i.e. white, purple, neon green)
- your Sim must have an extraordinary eye colour (i.e. red, pink, yellow)
- your Sim must have the Dislikes Children trait and four other traits which are chosen randomly by the game.

Tips: Make your sim truly unique even when it comes to other things than hair and eyes. Give him or her special clothing that follows some theme or that are just plain weird.

Inspirational pictures (why can't I resize images at MTS? I had to link them because they would take over the thread otherwise):

Give your Sim a house
When it comes to housing there are no rules, you are free to build anything you want to!

Tips: If you want your family to be a little different, build a special house for them like a castle or an outdoor camping place! Or they could have just an ordinary family home. Keeping dead family members in a family graveyard on the lot can be very fun.

Partner, Children and Heirs
Your sim are free to marry any sim, and have as many children as possible. But there are some rules to follow:
- your partner may be a sim made in CAS by you or another player as long as they do NOT have your special genes (relatives to your founder are ok to marry, though)
- every time you have the opportunity to choose traits for your Sim you must click the Random button
- the heir, the child who is going to continue the family, MUST have both the unique hair and eye colours. This sim has one exception to the previous rule, in that that one of his or her traits must be Dislikes Children
- Sims may not adopt children
- you are not allowed to dye Sim's hairs or changing their eye colour to make them heirs, a heir must be born as a heir

The Clone Voucher lifetime reward is ONLY allowed if you can meet BOTH of these criteria:
- if female: Your heir has become an Elder; if male: Your heir has reached 90 days of age
- your sim is unable to buy or create a Young Again potion

So; if your sim that is supposed to get a heir is an elderly female or a dying male, and he or she doesn't have the knowledge or 70 000 lifetime points to buy the Young Again potion, your sim may get a Clone Voucher. Otherwise not.

Tips: Get your heirs woohoo:ing as fast as possible, because you may never know how many children it will take until you have one with the perfect genes. One of my sims had 9 children, then she had to drink a Young Again potion, marry a new husband, and have 3 more children before she had a heir.

Goal of the Challenge
The Perfect Genetics challenge have one very easy goal:
- you win when you have given birth to a sim with the perfect genes in the 10th generation

Tips: Have fun while playing!

Extra Challenge (Optional)
If you want your Perfect Genetics challenge to be even harder, you can add an extra element:
- In addition to eye and hair colour, also give your sim a unique skin colour (blue, green or red)
- This means that there are three criterias for a sim to be your heir; skin, eye and hair colour

Additional rules with Pets EP (Optional)
Do your perfect sims want to have a perfect pet? Well then, why not?
- When creating your first sim in CAS, also create a pet of any kind you like, it could be a horse, a cat, or a dog.
- The pet should not be of any of the pre-designed breed but special, just like your sim. For example, if your sim has purple hair your pet shall have purple fur, if your sim has red eyes your pet shall have red eyes.
- Your pet shall also breed and get heirs just like your sims. There is no generational end for the pet part of the family, they should just keep on breeding heirs of the next pet generation until the sim part of the family has reached the 10th generation.

Perfect Genetics-Midnight Sun Challenge
This combination of my two Perfect Genetics and Midnight Sun (http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=442322) has grown popular in the Swedish sims community.
In that combination challenge you just follow the rules of both challenges, except for the MSC 5 generations rule, since PG is 10 generations. It's very funny and I do recommend it if you're looking for a really hard but fun challenge!

I'm sort of mixing this together with the "Dead walk in Riverview" challenge. Makes a fun black window/er with child raising issues. My first gen heir is sort of adorable and already pregnant with her first child. I'll post pictures as soon as I'm on gen three I'm thinking. If you don't mind that is.

Can we change any eye/hair colors that occur because of the 10% chance of genetic mutation. I'm already 7 children in, if not for it she would have had an heir, darnit!
It's totally fun though :D. I'll be posting pictures soo. :3

I don't really care what you do in your games, but if you want to follow the challenge rules I have answers for you.

Weisskreuz: Simply no. Haha. Since the heir finding is the only challenge in this challenge really, your sim should have 20 children if that's what your sim is destined to.

Don'tCryForMe: Nope, no cheats allowed. Only moveobjects, resetsim and building cheats.

Erk, neighborhood corrupted...and the families gone...darn. Well anyway. I started over and my children are still defective. *Sigh* here are pictures.


This was her first incarnation (R.I.P) Her name is Europa Elaine. I have no elaborate back story for her unfortunately.

http://oi54.tinypic.com/2a689xw.jpg


This is her second after the corruption. I had forgotten the first time around that you had to have them dress elaborately. So I spiced her up a bit, but I don't have many any fantasy clothes so I just used a dress from the Store and then dyed it neon hues. Her eyes are still bright pink. But they didn't match with the outfit so I put contacts in.


Her eldest; Graciela, she didn't get anything...but she makes funny faces all the time so I forgive her.

http://oi52.tinypic.com/2uhmh3l.jpg

This is her son Jayden. So close, yet so far away.

http://oi51.tinypic.com/11tv609.jpg

Europa has two more children (twins). One has Hot pink eyes like her mother the other Blonde hair and green eyes like her father...great. She's pregnant again, I bought the Fertility Treatment LFR so maybe I'll get lucky with some triplet action.

Do we have to care for the other children and make them grow up right?
Or can they be slave children and clean the elaborate mansion?
Also, can they adopt? (Obviously the child won't be the heir, but they could help around the house, get a job etc.)
And I'm guessing makeovers are out of the question?

Hi!

Weisskreuz: I love your family, and your start sim is beautiful. Hehe. :)

lorenrose1013: Well you don't have to care for the other children if you don't want too. Actually you don't have to take care of the heir either, as long as it gets the Dislikes Children trait and doesn't die (because then you'll have to have a new heir, right?). And no, they can't adopt - this is a challenge of making your children hating Sims to give birth to babies then they shouldn't get away with adopting them! :D And makeovers are okay if you do not change their genetics by doing so, which means hair dying is out of question.

I've never played a challenge before, but it seems like fun so I thought I'd give it a go.
http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss36/LadyKombucha/Stuff/peridiaperfectgeneticchallengegen1.png
My 1st gen character is peridia clanaghan (see what I did there?) she has lime green with blue streaked hair and luminous green eyes. She's just finished her first pregnancy, and knock me down with a feather, she had triplets! All girls: Chloe, connie and cassie. They're toddlers now; ones a perfect heir, the other 2 only have the hair. Still, looks like I've been lucky!
The only time I've ever had triplets before is when both parents have had the fertility LTR. You should have seen my face! 8-O lol

I decided to try it out and lucked out on my sim's first pregnancy!

My founder: Rachel Williams. She's sweet, she's innocent, and the last thing you will ever see is the inside of her bedroom. (She rolled a wish to see her partner's ghost after their first woo-hoo...)

http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j386/Rey4rey4/Screenshot-8417.jpg

She ended up having twins. A boy, Thomas who got his father's hair and eye color:

And a girl, Alessa who got her mother's hair and eyes.

The boy has HystericalParoxysm's Cherub Curley Hair found here. (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=356940) It's an MTS link and I've had no trouble with the hair at all. <3 Use it a lot in my male toddlers because it just looks adorable on them.

I've been playing this challenge for a few days now and I'm having a blast with it so far. My founder, Mary Christopher, has purple hair and red eyes, and her traits (besides Dislikes Children) are Angler, Athletic, Bookworm and Charasmatic. She got married to the actor named Matthew in Bridgeport (can't remember his original lastname, he took on hers). She ended up with five kids before she got an heir--a boy (who got Evil and Genius as his first traits, which made me happy), and two pairs of twin girls. The youngest twin of the youngest set, Stella, finally got the right coloring--and just in time, too, since I was really getting tired of having to take care of toddlers, heh. Stella's a genius and easily impressed, and her and her twin, Shelly, are having their age transition to children in a few days, which I can't wait for! They'll be aging up the same time as their mother (to Elder) and older brother (to Teen). I have a feeling their birthday's going to be pretty busy for me...

Just for clarification, no mods allowed either, that's part of 'cheat', right?

galixea

Actually you don't have to take care of the heir either, as long as it gets the Dislikes Children trait

also . . . the heir has to have that trait too? Hair/eyes/AND the dislikes children trait?

Gurra09
22nd Oct 2011, 09:25 AM
galixea, mods are allowed as long as they aren't 'cheating mods', I hope you understand me. :) And yes, the heir should have the hair, eyes, and dislikes children trait.

Morwen Laicoriel
22nd Oct 2011, 02:59 PM
Would using the Clone Voucher lifetime award count as cheating if you used it either as the way to get another "heir" or to prolong the life of one of your heirs?

Gurra09
22nd Oct 2011, 05:34 PM
The Clone Voucher is ONLY allowed if you can meet these criteria:
- if female: Your heir has become an Elder; if male: Your heir has reached 90 days of age
- your sim is unable to buy or create a Young Again potion

So; if your sim that is supposed to get a heir is an elderly female or a dying male, and he or she doesn't have the knowledge or 70 000 lifetime points to buy the Young Again potion, your sim may get a Clone Voucher. Otherwise not.

When the Pets expansion arrived I saw new possibilites for this challenge, and added a little extra part for that expansion to the rules. :)

Additional rules with Pets EP

I know exactly what to do to my non-heirs. Abandon them at the neighbor's house. Merge households is good for that.

Got a sim named Chloe Greene with Irish Green hair and orange eyes. She's had 8 kids so far and no heirs. Some close calls but no heirs. Been moving the kids out to their fathers' houses and changing their last names to match so the only Greene will be the heir.

This is Rebecca Hemming (she married a Matthew Hemming clone in Twinbrook)
All I know is she dislikes children, wasn't paying too much attention to the other traits, she's yet to have an heir

Morwen Laicoriel
27th Oct 2011, 03:19 PM
Oh, that's funny, my heir married Matthew too! They actually had pretty cute kids together overall....

Enirei
27th Oct 2011, 06:28 PM
Well Chloe had 11 children and 7 pregnancies before her 8th pregnancy which produced her heir. She was in mid-mature adulthood. Nina has a twin brother named Uaithne who was born with his mother's eyes and a strange hair color. It looked platinum blond except the highlights were the same shade of orange that Chloe's was.

Since it was such a nice surprise, Chloe kept both and Uaithne will start his own "perfect" clan alongside his sister. If I continue this for a few generations, then I plan on merging them for one generation (create two heirs, one for each clan) and then they'll split off into their own clans to come back again later. You can have second cousins married and reproduce without any hacks.

Right now the twins are children, Chloe's about to age into an elder and is a skill point away from completing her LTW of being a one sim band.

LOL, okay, I may have hit the lottery here but I'm guessing I can't really take advantage of this.

When I created my founder, I left her in the sim bin because I thought I might want to use her again someday. Well..I have Twallan's story progression mod, and one of the features is that it randomly creates new immigrants based on the genetics of the sims in the sim bin. I've been making a bunch of sims that I thought looked nice to help with the genes and putting them in the bin to help that, and I thought it'd be funny if someone got the purple hair and red eyes of my founder,b ut I doubted it would actually happen.

...Well, a new couple just moved in aaaaand the husband's got purple hair (although violet eyes instead of the clan's red eyes). He's also flirty, so it's pretty easy for my heir to flirt with him.

I'm guessing the answer to this is probably "yes", particularly considering that a mod made this happen, but would it count as cheating if my heir tried for a baby with him?

Gurra09
28th Oct 2011, 07:50 PM
I myself am a frequent user of Twallan's mods and as long as the only bin sim having the genes is your founder that's okay. Go flirt him up ;)

Well my two sims Uaithne and Rina got lucky this time around. It only took two pregnancies to get a heir for each of them with a total of 3 kids a piece (gotta love twins). Uaithne ended up marrying one of River McIrish's daughters while Rina got it on with a Crumplebottom boy. Uaithne has a daughter named Aigneis and Rina's son is named Ace. Unfortunately Chloe died of old age before either of them were born.

To spice things up a bit, every time Uaithne and the missus woohoo it's a risky (love the Woohooer). I hope the other McIrish siblings like kids because that's where I dumping all non-heirs (might keep one if they've got heir potential).

Love the story progression mod myself (celebrities irritate me in SV and RV). I can't remember what immigrant settings I have so perhaps the irish green hair will pop up somewhere else.

Update: The heirs are nearly related to everyone it feels like :blink: Curse you Chloe for taking so many tries to produce a heir. Last count Chloe had 20+ grandkids and 2 great-grandkids including the heirs. And I found one male classmate for Aigneis. Of course Uaithne's wife keeps on wanting kids so I'd figure I'd humor her and they've had 10 including the heir.

2nd Update: Ace and Aigneis are both young adults and working on producing heirs themselves. Ace married Marcie Bachelor-Landgraab (only daughter of Malcolm and Bella). Aigneis is woohooing with a townie named Bob Randall. Aigneis has already had 6 kids looking for her heir, Ace and his wife Marcie have only had two so far (she just recently matured to a young adult).

Aigneis' mother, Britta (nee McIrish), saw the pattern that was occurring. Between missing her other children she had to give up and feeling distant from Uaithne (he's been playing for tips way too often) she decided enough was enough and to break things off with him. She took back her maiden name and moved out. Now whether her nephrew's wife Marcie will figure out the same thing later is up in the air.

Ace and Aigneis finally had their heirs: Jaylee and Noirin respectfully. Bit annoyed that they're both girls since I wanted to breed them together this generation but meh, I got my heirs.

Stats:
Ace had 4 children, Jaylee having a twin named Moses that didn't make the cut.
Aigneis had 6 children, Noirin's twin sister Quinn was close but no cigar.
Both Uaithne and Rina are both alive and kicking though elders. Rina's been having a wish to get married so I'll let her get married then kick out the husband once she dies.

Uaithne's ex-wife Britta had triplets soon after she moved out from a last risky woohoo they had the night before she broke things off. So she gets to raise some more of her children by Uaithne. Another interesting tidbit is her current boyfriend, Lynn McGraw, is the son of Chloe's fifth child Blerta.

I swear, because of Chloe screwing just about every eligible male in Sunset Valley, I can click through my family tree and find relations to nearly every family either through blood or marriage. Least I'm far enough down the line now that Noirin and Jaylee won't have as much trouble as Aigneis with finding eligible males to be genetic donors.

Second picture is some snapshots I took of Chloe's ghost snuggling her great-granddaughter Noirin. Just found it cute.

Also some interesting stats concerning genes (taken from the genetic xml file):
mutateHair: 20%
grandparentsHair: 50%
mutateEye: 10%
grandparentEye: 50%

I want to say the mutate genes take up their portion of the 100% and the grandparents take up the 50% of the reminding 80/90% but I could be wrong. So those that get a heir within the first try or two, you are lucky!

Update: Jaylee meet her first cousin once remove (her father's first cousin) Loren Andrews and he has Chloe's hair :anime: And they're far enough apart on the family tree for them to be romantically involved with one another. And I also mapped out all the descendants of my founder and made a pdf. Attached it in the zip if anyone wants to look at it. It's still a work in progress.

How do we combine these 2 challenges, If the other one restricts sims to travel only 3times/sim? What if we need more tries to get the genes?
And If I remember right, in the Midnight Sun Challenge, don't we have to have the brave and loner trait as well?

I just started my legacy :) funny!! :D one question though.................if you finally have the heir, are you allowed to pick the dislike children trait at some point??? Is that the exception you can make?? Or perhaps are you allowed to randomize them until you get that trait?? Or do you have to get lucky to get the heir randomly rolled that trait.....if not, its not an heir??

Kay :) my first update :) i create a female with the name Carla Cryin (i'm not that original with names :S) and she just got pregnant and engaged with Tom Wordy :)

I am trying to add in something diff as well, getting every heir to have a diff lifetime wish, so i am keeping track of those as well :)

Yes the tree can get confusing. Especially now that there are second cousins and the game stopped putting the relation romantic limit on them. So in a number of cases children are being born between first cousins once removed (ie one is Chloe's grandchild, the other is Chloe's great-grandchild).

Chloe's descendants (least in the heir lines) have been usually one man(or woman) sims. Though my latest one Jaylee is having trouble producing an heir (almost ma) while Noirin had her heir on the first try when she was a teen. I might have her get together with Noirin's son and up the chances of her having a kid with the orange eyes.

Klevkin
3rd Nov 2011, 07:32 PM
well if you take in account the genetic percentages you showed, it should get easier along the line to get the heir, since they inherit from their grand parents :) lets cross fingers on jaylee getting an heir quickly then!! Which mod are you using to let them have kids in their teens??

My family is bugged :( i tried to marry her, cause the bloke she was engaged with is rich, but everytime i tried to get her into that household, the game would take forever to load the new situation.............now i married them, but he went in with her.......so no money extra sadly (well hardly any :*( and that was the purpose on marrying her lol).

Well :) i found a way to solve the money problem, i just asked the old household to live in with them, then i moved to an expensive house, so nothing was left to devide, and then i kicked them out again :)

i had 5 babygirls so far, 1 twins, both neither the hair or the eyes, 1 triplets, 1 had none, 1 had the hair and 1 had the eyes. And i just had another girl (what is it with this girls only thing......) and Tom (the father) just grew into elderly, so i hope this one is bingo, if not, i'd better start mixing some young again potions, or perhaps find her a new husband :) still doubting which one i'd want to do :)

@Ieriety, i'm not sure i'd have the patience to wait for all three gens to pop up :D i'm curious how long it will take!! :D perhaps your lucky, and it will happen before just the hair and the eyes! :D

ugh, i am having a bit of an issue here, last girl wasn't an heir either, but aparently elderly man can make women pregnant as well, so she just gave birth to two boys. Great :D though i have the tendency to not move my sims out...........i was kind of hoping to keep them all in and let them die and then eventually have a property full of ghosts............(just for the fun of it!)

but i currently have 10 sims living on this property! And as far as i know, not one of them is an heir yet :(...........i think i am going to have to let some people go :(

Currently having possible overcrowding coming up soon since I have two lines going on. One line the oldest is married and lives in house (Aigneis), her heir daughter Noirin, and her heir son Ruadhan. The other line has Ace (Marcie moved out), his daughter Jaylee and Jaylee just had her heir Gracie. So 7 sims and Ruadhan is already ya and ready to start having babies of his own. Right now thinking of Casanova scenario since if you invite the women over right after they have the baby, kid comes in tow and I can inspect them.

Rina had the wish to tie the knot so she married an elder man named Torrence, bringing him into the family. Aigneis married her beau, and Noirin's father, Bob Randall, also bringing him into the house.

Rina ended up dying before Torrence (even though he was older). Torrence wooed the young Noirin and she was pregnant when he died. Noirin gave birth to a son name Ruadhan who was a perfect heir for her.

Jaylee took 11 children to get her heir Gracie. In that time Ruadhan grew up into a young man, got together briefly with Andria French and had two children, the second becoming his heir Fiedhlim (male).

Gracie is only a few days older than Fiedhlim and I plan on them becoming husband and wife later on. They're 3rd cousins once remove. It's also interesting that the generations on the clans on now in line. The peachy cream hair clan and the irish green hair clan are both on their 4th generation.

well i don't have a limit to how many sims i can have in my house (not sure if that's considered cheating btw, but i have never played with those limites, though i have never reached the limit tbh!) So it's more a problem with how many sims i can handle, then with being to full........

I just read back your story though :) trying to make sense of your family tree once again :D and funny, but i just realised that the blond platinum with orange streaks of hair is in my family as well!! well at least, sort of, i don't think the orange is that abvious though, it just looks normal blond. I'll get a picture of one of them :) (got two i think!)

Bad luck for me :( the boys are equally devided as well, one with the hair, the other with the eyes :( i have decided to let those kids grow up, and move out (so no house full of ghosts on my lot, i think i will make that a privilege for the heirs and their partners......) Then i am going to let Tom die, use a young again potion on Carla and try it again with a second husband (or perhaps i am going to go and let her woohoo whomever wants to :))

Sweet about the hair. It is such an interesting color.

I can make it so there's not a limit for births (ie can have 8 sims in house and have another be born in the house) but I can't have 8 sims in the house and then ask a 9th to move in.

Did a redo of the family tree an attached them. This time instead of fanning down from Chloe and her descendants, I did all the ancestors of the current heirs with colored background of the heirs through the lines back to Chloe.

Good luck with Carla.

hmm not sure about the moving in, i do know you can't go beyond 8 in CAS, but about moving in, i'm not sure......i'm gonna check out your family tree later on!! I'm also gonna make my own, but probably tomorrow, i need to get my family out of this rough patch first :) it's absolutely crazy to handle all those sims and try to keep them happy. Even the butler is not making it through the day! And i have hired additional cleaners, and there were 2 that showed up ROFL!

Ack! That's why I do the merge households in edit town mod and kick out the non-heirs. I've played with 10 sims in a family and I was overwhelmed. Good luck you brave soul.

7th Nov 2011, 09:19 AM
thanks lol :D i found the solution though!! Knew i let her marry a rich sim for a reason, downside was it became quite boring after that :D i just put them all into boarding school whahahaha :D so i only had the parents left :D and its fairly easy to maintain two sims instead of 10! I do think the butler was a bit more at ease :D.

Thing is, my game wouldn't save...........(error code 12......found a solution now though, hope it works) so i have to start over for te 4th time (not with the entire heir, but after they went to boarding school)

Klevkin
7th Nov 2011, 12:31 PM
ugh, the error code is still happening, i read somewhere its related to bridgeport (cause of the size of the city and the amount in inhabitants it can have????) would it be cheating if i exported my family and moved them to another town??? I would be so annoyed if i had to start all over :S

7th Nov 2011, 04:05 PM
Ugh, I have to start over. 28 children and no heir whatsoever. WTF!

Klevkin
8th Nov 2011, 09:59 AM
quick update: Finally got my game up and running again, i just moved them, so if its cheating then i am sorry, but i saw no other choice, i moved them to apaloosa plains, it looked calmer in there. Then i finally got the oldest twins grown up, so i moved them out into the house next to carla and tom, so its not really goodbye :D , then i got the other kids (cause moving took them out of boarding school) to move in with them (merged them in edit town) so Tom and Carla are now alone again :) time for the next batch of children, they both had a YApotion so they are both ya and have plenty of time to keep trying.......

@enirei, i looked again, and the hair of two of my sims does look like the way you described, but its not, they are really just blond with some darker higlights :)

Klevkin
9th Nov 2011, 11:50 AM
Update again :) my familystarter now has 12 children, since the last update she had two more twins and is pregnant again. Neither of the children is an heir............(how frustrating!!!) so i am merged them in the households with their siblings.....waiting for the her to give birth again.............i am going to just get her pregnant straight away again and boot them out when they have reached the age of toddler, but i'll keep them with their familys (stupid attachment you can get to pixels :))
EDIT: it was another twin, boys...... they have now 14 children.........and she is pregnant again, none of them are an heir!! Seriously, it looks as though the game can only produce children with one of each, one with the eyes, one with the hair! I'm thinking about having her cheat on tom and getting pregnant that way :) maybe tom just isn't the right person to get the heir with :)


The children in chronicle order from oldest to youngest:

Suzan and Sharon (2 girls)
Aïda, Alissa and Ariadne (3 girls)
Daisy (girl)
Luke and Lars (2 boys)
Ben and Bailey (boy and girl)
Femke and Feike (boy and girl)
Zack and Zoca (2 boys)

Thing is, right after i posted my familytree the game got the save error again........putting me back to Ben and Bailey being babys......so thats two twins missing :S so i am going to reinstall, see if that solves the saving error, and see what happens then :) am going to use carla again i think.........or perhaps i will start out with a guy this time??

I was not going to post the results or anything, just do this on my own, as I am 100% a lurker...but this was just too funny for words.

Random name: Alana Fontenot. Rolled traits: Computer whiz, Flirty, Equestrian, Slob, Disciplined. Replaced slob with Dislikes Children.

Hair: Pink, Eyes: Pink Skin: Light Blue. Any child born with pink hair and eyes are up for heir consideration. If a child is born with pink hair/eyes and blue skin...automatic heir.

Meet Cameo Pink Coat/eyes.
And now on to why I had to post some of these pics. She seriously cracks me up.
Started her in a brand new world. Population: 6, 3fem, 3male I had to go into edit world to put the Equestrian stuff in, but that is all I did. Cameo was bred within minutes of building my prison cell. While she was race training, I hit the winery. The proprietor was kinda cute so we flirted for a bit. What I didn't realize was the shower behind the wall...Well we found it!

But WAIT -http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk199/Jenn115500/Sims3%20Perfect%20Genetics/UmmmyeahHELP.jpg
FIRE!!!

We were so busy extinguishing the fire that we did not notice if the fireman was cute or not. And we also missed getting pics of the pregnant woman extinguishing the fire while said fireman watched and SMILED!

Anyway, never made it to the hospital..so Meet Flame. Auto- Virtuoso. Rolled: Artistic. Now, I think the father was blonde. So I hope the pink dominates that and he gets the correct colors.

I fiddled with the aging, but kept the correct amount of days of 90 for hoomins and 57 for horses.

I used to be able to put pics side-by-side, but I haven't forum posted in forever and forgot how to do it. Sorry, if it's too long. You'd think she had the unlucky trait or something.

Edit:

Fiedhlim and Gracie have both reached the teenage years and I started breeding them with one another. Had two boys already, both good heirs for Gracie's line. Though I have a feeling that's going to be happening a lot since both of Gracie's parents had the "perfect" Irish Green hair and both Gracie and Fiedhlim has Chloe's "perfect" eyes. Since traits are being randomized, I might pick a heir later on due to what traits they get.

It's by Newsea. The hairstyle is called Kitty. You can find it here: http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/newsea/downloads/details/category/sims3-sets-hair/title/newsea-kitty-female-hairstyle/id/1004695/ or here: http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ts3/tsr/newsea/hair/

Enirei

Got my heirs from Fiedhlim's and Gracie's union. Gracie's heir is Nessa while Fiedhlim's heir is Ormond. I think my bad experience with Chloe (12 kids to get an heir) led me to start breeding a bit early because Gracie and Fiedhlim are no where close to aging up to mature adults yet and they're done breeding.

I already picked out a potential mate for Nessa back when she was a toddler. One of the non-heir lines produced a male sim about Nessa's age with the perfect eyes. So when they're in school I'll make them get close and thus the chances of the eyes showing up have doubled.

I've posted up a picture of the founders of the two clan lines Chloe's line and her son's Uaithne's line along with all the heirs that had matured and produced their own perfect heir.

Little entertainment for me. I've been inviting Sims over for chess matches I've been checking out their family trees to see if and how they relate back to my founder Chloe Greene using Master Controller.

My latest one was Francisca McIrish-French (in picture). She's related to Chloe through 3 of her children: Rina Greene (heir), Uaithne Greene (founder of secondary clan), and Blerta McGraw (non-heir).

The man Francisca had a child with is also related to Chloe three of her children: L0rne Sw0rd, Uaithne Greene (again), Gawain Koffi.

So Francisca's daughter Sally McIrish-French is related to Chloe through 5 of Chloe's children. Though of course by not the same degree. Chloe is Sally's 3-greats grandmother 3 times, 4-greats grandmothers twice. Though since this breeding was done by non-heir Sims, earliest was her Great-Grandfather that was Ace Greene's son, I highly doubt she has any of the perfect traits. I know Sally's mother, Francisca, doesn't.

Sorry if this is spammish. I just find the family trees very interesting especially when the non-active Sims are more related to my founder than my actual heirs. And also apparently on the tree when you hover, they don't recognize great-great grandparents as relations.

I am getting a bit irky about perhaps going back to my old family........it's such a waste of time and effort letting this one go, but it's so horribly bugged!!

She has pink/purple hair and orange eyes.
She's a virgo, couch potato, dislikes kids, excitable, genius and handy.

She met Buck Broke her first day in town and they quickly became intimate and had twin girls, Leya and Janelle.
Luckily, Leya was an heir with her mom's eyes and hair and Janelle had purple hair but grey eyes.

Well, Klevkin, it's all random what genes your children get so there could be anything from 1 to 100 babies before you have the right one. Haha. What I have found out though is that dark hair dominates a little, so avoiding darkhaired people might be a good idea. Unless your special colour is dark.

Are you sure you just don't have the unlucky trait? Genetics are picked by random from percentages.
Hair Color (from my understanding):
a parent out of 2: 20%
a grandparent out of 4: 10%
mutate is 20%

Eyes Color (from my understanding):
a parent: 22.5%
a grandparent: 11.25%
mutate: 10%

I don't know how the game goes with the genetics of parent-less Sims having babies (like the founder), but after the initial founder we have a 10.125% of the 1st, 2nd, whatever generation producing an perfect heir with any given child. So about a 1 out of 10 chance to produce a kid with the eyes and hair.

Sorry for long post, former Math major who got her hands on the XML file concerning genetics.

i think i might have the unlucky trait, now that you say it!!! :rofl:

Seriously, i need that file!!! How do i find it???? I love genetics!! I used to breed mice tbh and i love the genetics behind that :) (talking about math, im a daughter of a math teacher lol :D does that count? hahahaha)

Im downloading some new hair and sims to create my new founder. Reinstalled everything yesterday and hoping to get playing really soon, but somehow either my computer or my internet connection is not cooperating (i hate my computer right now......) the downloading goes so very very very slow!!

In my last PM to you told you where to find it. Yup, if you're use to dealing with math and having fun that counts. Can't wait to see your new founder and heirs.

Just wanted to give you all a quick update. Tori met and fell in love with a handsome med student names Gregory Masterson. They had a son, Skylar, and decided to make it official and get married. Soon after, the triplets, Trey, Starla & Hunter came. So far, the perfect genes combination have not popped up together (all the kids have Greg's hair and somehow Hunter got these really pretty caramel brown eyes, not the neon green of Tori or the sky blue like Greg, huh?), but they still have some pretty darn cute kids, IMO :0). Tori is preggos again so we'll see what happens. http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x336/corihummel77/Perfect%20Genetics%20challenge/Screenshot-150-1.jpghttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x336/corihummel77/Perfect%20Genetics%20challenge/Screenshot-160-1.jpg

The neon green eyes are quite pretty (love the color).

Hunter got these really pretty caramel brown eyes, not the neon green of Tori or the sky blue like Greg, huh?

1 in 10 chance of a kid's eyes being a random color. XML file calls it mutating. Dunno if it's affected if a parent does not have parents of their own.

@Corihummel, he sure is pretty!!! :D and those kids are very cute :D

@kuraineko, does not matter if your english is not perfect!! We understand you just fine!! And i forgot to mention, i just love morgana!! She is so cute!!

Thanks for the comments on my founder :D having her with quite the attitude has helped me dump the babies! So here is her story so far. She had a few kids with thornton, then he suddenly drowned (see assembled picture) while she was pregnant. He didn't want to go, but the reaper was relentless (right word??). She gave him a nice place to rest, being happy to get rid of him but he came back though, but she sure as hell wasn't happy with that! (look at her face!) At least she did finish her lifetime wish :)
She had some more kids, two with the butler, who then vanished (they don't seem to have a father in their family tree either), so i got myself a new butler (female sadly enough, but she is great with the babies, so i am keeping her) and called a maid, he was male so he became the father of one as well :) sadly still no heir. Though somehow, my last twin had both the hair, and i was really buzzed, because i was sure their eyes were yellow as well!! (don't know why!! Guess i thought it was time for me to be lucky......) but when i checked in the mirror, they were purple!! Somehow, i have kids popping up, with the right hair, and purple eyes! Ah well, family tree is included :) and so is the death of thornton.
I had the children in with their fathers, for as far as that was possible. Her two eldest are now adults (though Bailey was knocked up when she was a teenager, as soon as wyatt was born the father left her) and live on their own, i have dumped all their siblings amongst them. And the more they get, the more i will add to their households (or to the fathers).

As for now, Aïda is an elder. I just created her first YA potion, so she will be taking that after i have posted this. Then she will go and marry another rich husband (why do it once when you can do it again) cause dumping all her babies had to go along with some money, so she is quite poor now again........she needs the money!! (or maybe she is just greedy!) Anyways, i'm still hoping to get an heir some day! (at least there are no errors so far!)

So with my Greene family I've been getting the access code 0x00000030 error which caused crashing. So not playing them any more until something changes.

I've started a new game with Asahi Akagi whose LTW is to be a heart breaker. After 3 pregnancies, her fourth provided twins and an heir named Akira. Only have had 2 boyfriends and working on the third so got something to do while little Akira ages up.

Crashing is evil indeed! Horrible!!

its very frustrating if you put in so much effort! Asahi looks great though! and at least her hair won't look weird on boys.............my boys look weird with the pink hair!! :D

i'll post some updates on mine later on :) (should be easy now that i have two screens to work from!)

24th Nov 2011, 12:21 PM
OKay :) well here's where my family gets a bit weird..............remember i said i'd let Aida find another rich partner to marry??? Well she found it in Vita Goth....104 days old when they married, and well provided for. Should be easy right? Nearly death, just marry her quickly and inherit the money....
Thing is, the last time i checked, she was 114 days old. And aparently, i forgot about some of my mods that allowed same sex pregnancies and apparently also allowed them to be elder and pregnant. So when Aida got pregnant from her (i had also replace the normal woohoo interaction with risky woohoo, which means there is always a chance of conceiving) and had twins, i thought it was a bit weird. So i let Aida have a go with it with the (new) butler. When she was not yet showing she was pregnant, it turned out she and Vita had another go at it and Vita turned out to be pregnant! So another set of twins was born. And Aida also gave birt to a boy (from the butler).
So i had 5 babies at once..........and from those 5 babies 3 turned out to be heirs :) so i get to pick now! And i have a hard time doing it! So you can help me out and tell me what you would do!!

I uploaded an image with all three of them (they are the only ones living in with Aida at the moment btw :) the rest got replaced) including their current traits. Have to add, Quinny also has the LTW to adopt 6 strays (which i might be able to fulfill before she becomes an YA).
I am currently leaning towards Quinny, she was the first heir, she has some nice traits and she looks okay! On the other hand, Silke is Evil (she got that from Vita) and i have never played with an evil sim, should be a nice challenge i think. And Tim, well, the only reason why i might play him, is because he looks pretty and he is not a she :)
oh the decisions i have to make!!!

i have also added a family tree :) the second daughter turned out to take after her mom. She has 3 children with 3 diff boys. And the rest of the kids don't all seem to be getting along that well either. There are a lot of arguments popping up (i just love NRaas story progession!!!)

Akagi family still alive and kicking. After producing her heir Akira, Asahi still had 7 more lovers to go through to complete her LTW as a heart breaker. So to spice things up she did a risky with her lovers. She had two more children before aging to elder, one had none of the perfect genes while the last was Akijirou. He had both the perfect traits and so he ended up staying in the house.

After Akira was born, a Sim Asahi was wooing had a litter of kittens up for adoption. So she adopted one to keep her little one at home company. That was Tama Neko (who was edited to be the perfect pet with red stripes and red eyes). When Akira got into her teens, her old friend Brock Wan had a litter of puppies to get rid of so Akira adopted one naming it Koro Inu. Koro is currently Akira's best friend and sleeps in her bed with her (usually).

When Akira graduated, she convinced her fried Brock to be her gene donor. So she began working with him to produce her own heir. During this time, a mate was temporarily adopted for Tama and the first litter produce Tama's own perfect heir Tamaki. He has the stripes and the eyes, though underneath the stripes he has the pointed fur pattern of his daddy.

Tama had taken to sleeping in Asahi's bed with no complaint from the human. The two were best of friends and Asahi was working on becoming friends with Tamaki.

Asahi was outside fishing when she died, a few minutes after Tamaki aged to adulthood. Akira did have her perfect heir within a week later named Acacia.

Poor Tama has not yet gained a deep a relationship as with any of the other Sim humans since her human Asahi died.

Update: Six kids, still no heir :( Tori's last pregnancy produced twin boys, Jaymon & Jayden, who just aged up. Skylar is now a teen and the triplets are about to age up. Tori isn't too thrilled with the size of the family as she not exactly a kid person, but fortunately, Greg loves kids and wants a big family, and Tori loves him, so they'll keep trying for that perfect heir ;) http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x336/corihummel77/Perfect%20Genetics%20challenge/Screenshot-170-1.jpghttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x336/corihummel77/Perfect%20Genetics%20challenge/Screenshot-199-1.jpg

He married Dilly Pidgin and they had Lilly and Jilly (both blue skin but not the hair and eyes). So kicked them to the curb and married Sofia Carlton. Now have two new kids, Leyla & Davin. Leyla has the hair but I can't tell about her eyes and Davin is just a baby so I don't know about him either. Got another bun in the oven just in case

Just had babies #5 & 6. Xavia has the blue hair and eyes and her baby brother, Talon, has blue skin (can't tell on his eyes and hair yet). Xavia is the heir unless Talon has all 3. But only the hair and eyes are required for the challenge. Lilly and Jilly are teens and Tylor sees them every once in a while. Leyla and Davin are in boarding school.

Well, since Xavia can't get the Dislikes Children trait she is not a heir. I haven't written it in the rules, but I thought it was pretty clear that you shall re-randomize if your heir gets something that doesn't work together with Dislikes Children trait.

I am so super new to sims 3 (had it for 1 week now) so I might be a little slow on the uptake. But her trait wasn't randomized. The game chose it and said I didn't get to pick a trait. No biggie, though. I have a new heir (Jaclyn) who hates children and now my perfect non-heir Xavia can have millions of heir-looking babies off in sims world that can eventually breed back into the family.

Yes. Lighter hour and eyes are recessive. I kicked my dark haired 1st wife to the curb because of this and my blonde 2nd wife gave me 2 heirs out of 6 children (that's 1/3, really good odds)

I've had a few crashes since I got the game just over a week ago. Very upsetting and disappointing. Does anyone have the same problem with the screen going black and computer totally crashing? And any suggestions?

Happier note though, my heir Jaclyn Brand has a son and Is preggers again. Waiting for little Jacob to age so I can check him out.

Also my real-life hubby tried to play sims to get it to crash so he could diagnose and fix. It was his 1st time and he was so impressed to find that a townie thought his sim was charming and invited him to spend the night with her. He was so proud of his sim and himself :king: .

Claudine and Caralynn have been all grown up for a while now and when the moved out they took Lluvia, Louie, Levon. Florissa then had another set of triplets named Mio, Mark, and Miwa. Mark and Miwa were heirs, but Mark had terrible traits so I moved him and Mio out with their other siblings. When Miwa was a child, Florissa had twins named Yash and Yessica. Yessica was an heir with good traits while Yash was a blonde. Miwa is now a teenager (I have a teen pregnancy mod, so I might get her started a little early or wait till her parents die), and I plan on having Miwa have children and letting Yessica live in the house because I like her and don't want her to hook up with someone ugly. So, I'll probably get Yessica married to a cutie get her pregnant, then move her out so I know she's okay!

Well I started this a couple of days ago and its really fun. My original sim was named January Rinehart a randomized name and her traits are couch potato, kleptomaniac, grumpy, evil and dislikes children. She has hot pink eyes, pink hair with blue streaks and green skin. So far she's had six children, expecting another she's also drowned two husbands in the moat surrounding the separate building her children live in so she doesn't have to see them. I feel kind of cheated though as all five children have green skin and one has the hair and number four, May (all kids are named after months) is an heir. I was expecting to have many more children before I got all three traits but I guess not. I'm going to wait for a second heir though as May is not the prettiest sim I've had born in my game. I'm hoping that January has multiples soon as I'm delaying getting her fertility treatment until I've had at least one natural set of multiples.

I'm giving this a go :-)

My founder, Raine Bowe, married Kendall Hathaway and they have two children so far. One of them, Alice, is a toddler with her mother's hair and her father's eyes, and the other, Bethany, is a baby, so I can't tell her hair and eye colour yet, though I think she also has her father's eyes.... (bah!)

Raine has black hair with red highlights and orange tips, and bright green eyes (like, really bright green). Kendall has black hair and hazel eyes.

It's a lot of fun so far - though I dread to think how many pregnancies it may take me to get an heir! I'm not moving youngsters out of the house either. I reckon I should be able to have 6-8 youngsters before Raine becomes an elder, so she may end up needing to drink a young again potion when she becomes an elder.....

**EDIT**

Three children now. Bethany is now a child, and has her mother's eyes but her father's hair... :-( New baby Callum has been born - he ages up to toddler in two days so I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll be an heir! Raine is also pregnant again - both she and Kendall have the fertility reward now, so hopefully they'll have twins or triplets this time. Though don't really mind her having one baby at a time as I'm keeping all the kiddies in the house anyway.

**EDIT AGAIN**

Six children now! Raine and Kendall just had triplet girls - Deborah, Emily and Faith. Callum is now a toddler, and guess what? He's a (potential) heir! :-) Guess I didn't need the triplets after all.....He will definitely be the heir (provided I manage to get him the Dislikes Children trait), as even if one or more of the triplets are potentials I've decided that if I have more than one option for heir I'll go with the oldest of the potentials. Six children is rather a lot to manage - 1 child, 2 toddlers and 3 babies is proving difficult, and I'm not looking forward to 2 children, 4 toddlers either! Raine and Kendall will not be having any more children, that's for sure! :-D

**EDIT AGAIN AGAIN**

For 1 day the household is coping with 5 toddlers at once! Bethany grows up later, thank goodness..... She's learned all her skills, and used the peg box and the xylophone as much as she could. The triplets are now toddlers, and none are potential heirs (only Emily got one of the colourings from her mum, the others take after Kendall), so thank goodness for Callum! :-)

**EDIT AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN**

Alice is a teen now and works part-time at the Day Spa. Bethany and Callum are both children. The triplets are still toddlers, and it's looking unlikely that any of them will learn their skills - not that it really matters as traits have to be randomised anyway! The house is still rather hectic, but now that Alice can help and there are only three toddlers it's not so bad :-) The five girls share a room with bunk beds and 3 cribs, and Callum has his own bedroom. As the heir and the only boy I figured he should get his own space!

**EDIT AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN**

Alice has just been to prom, where she became romantically involved with some guy she hardly knew before then. Guess it was a good night!? Bethany is a teen, but doesn't have a job yet. Callum is still a child, and the triplets are now also children. Raine is pregnant for the fifth time - Kendall really wanted them to have another baby together, so why not? :-)

I am intrigued to see which gender the baby is, and indeed whether there will be one or more babies, but that will have to wait until Sunday - it's almost my bed time!

Current Children List:

Raine & Kendall Hathaway:

Alice - mother's hair, father's eyes (teen)
Bethany - father's hair, mother's eyes (teen)
Callum - mother's hair, mother's eyes (child) - HEIR
Deborah - father's hair, father's eyes (child)
Emily - father's hair, mother's eyes (child)
Faith - father's hair, father's eyes (child)

SO EXTREMELY EXCITED TO START THIS. I seriously can't wait until my new disk drive arrives (won't open/proccess disks) so I can start on this. I'm already running ideas through my head xD

EDIT: Turns out it was never broken in the first place....??? anyway, I need opinions on who is a better husband:

Leighton Sekemoto: Adorable face but dark hair.

Dustin Langerak: Light hair but meh face.

Alice will become a young adult later today. She's going steady with Jessie Cormier, the guy she became romantically involved with at prom. Bethany is still a teen, and hasn't been to prom (yet?). When she ages up in 3 days she and Alice will be moving out of the family home and getting a house together. Callum will become a teen later today. He's almost friends with former classmate Audrey Bunn, who became a teen yesterday, so we'll have to see if that leads to anything :-) The triplets are fine - their grades are improving and they've spent the weekend having fun at home. New babies Grace and Harry are only a day old, so it's still a couple of days before I find out their hair and eye colours. I can't wait!


Current Children List:

Raine & Kendall Hathaway:

Alice - mother's hair, father's eyes (YA)
Bethany - father's hair, mother's eyes (teen)

Faith - father's hair, father's eyes (child)
Grace - unknown hair, unknown eyes (baby)
Harry - unknown hair, unknown eyes (baby)

my founder is an elder now and I've got some interesting results

first child had both hair and eyes, second child had just the skintone (much brighter)
then she had a triplet: blond with green eyes, brown hair and eyes, green skin with brown hair and eyes
twins, one was another heir and the other had... purple hair and pink eyes!

and his sister, she was already teen here, the birthday was a mess and I don't have a good shot of her brother...

my heir now has had a normal pregnancy with only one child, despite I gave the fertility treatment to both parents
maybe the 'dislikes children' trait also influence the number of babies, because also her husband have it
also noticed that all kids that took from the mother side have a very similar face structure, there are just little differences mostly in the nose

I made my founder drink a young again potion because hair and eyes may skip one generation but the skin color is harder to get... she had twins so it took 9 kids
So now I may need to kick out the others once I finish the space, someone here can suggest me an hack to show sim icons in an overcrowded house? I used to use twallan's but I'm on patch level 1.24 and I don't want to update yet (cause I'll need to update all my other mods as well..)

Creator of the Greene family, I'm back. This time with the London line. Founder is Jodene London with the perfect colors being blue hair and bright blue eyes.

After Jodene moved into Sunset Valley, she began looking around for a temporary mate. Her LTW is golden tongue, golden fingers. She found Hank Goddard who had separated from Pauline Wan for some reason.

They stayed together for a while, Jodene giving birth to three girls: Regana, Dortha and Dorthy. All three of them having Hank's hair. Fourth child was Brandon. Once Jodene had her heir, she broke things off with Hank and told him to take the other children and get out. She would only raise her heir.

Last I left off, Brandon reached the teen years and already good friends with two girls at his school. He already dislikes children but he knows he has to produce a heir so he's thinking of doing what his mother did— move in his girlfriend and have her produce babies until the house is full or he has his heir then kick her and the others out.

I'm starting this challenge again, because I wanted to have a sim living in simsample's Jericho, and as I like playing challenges I decided to give this one another go!

My green skinned, haired and eyed founder, Daniel Carter, is living in a small house in Jericho with his romantic interest and Music career boss Marjorie Sowell. Marjorie is currently estranged from husband Austin, as she has been living with Daniel since she became pregnant with his child 4 days ago. Their son Jayson was born yesterday, and Marjorie is already pregnant again. Jayson has Daniel's skin, but obviously it's too early to tell about the eyes and hair, so we'll see! :-) As well as working and making babies, Daniel and Marjorie are also working on their garden - they both want to complete a perfect garden, but so far they only have 2 apple trees on their little plot....

**EDIT** Jayson is now a toddler, but he's not an heir - he was close though! He has the hair and skin, but he has his Mum's eyes (I think - they may be random). Baby Stuart doesn't have the skin, but if he grows up with the hair and eyes I may make him heir anyway..... Marjorie is now pregnant again - this will be her last baby as she'll become an elder soon, so fingers crossed for an heir! Otherwise she'll be moving out with the three children, and Daniel will have to find himself a new ladyfriend! :-)

**EDIT AGAIN** Stuart is now a toddler, and is sort of an heir - he has the hair and eyes but not the skin, which I was kind of hoping for! Baby Hannah doesn't have the skin, so whatever hair and eyes she ends up with she can't out-heir Stuart! Marjorie is going to move out in a day or two, I think, and Daniel's going to keep Stuart with him whilst also looking for a new ladyfriend so that he can have some more babies and try for a full heir. Oh, and they now have 5 apple trees, including a great one! :-)

**EDIT AGAIN AGAIN** Daniel just moved in Takisha Markham, who unfortunately will become an elder in 7 days :-( So he's going to marry her asap, and get the Fertility lifetime reward with the points he'll get from getting married, and hope for twins or triplets to give him greater chance of getting a full heir! If not, well, maybe Stuart will have to do - unless he dumps Takisha like he dumped Marjorie and finds himself yet another ladyfriend!

Gah! I decided to go ahead and try this. My unique sim is a woman with cyan/turquoise hair and magenta/hot pink eyes. So far she and her husband have had 5 little girls, and none of them can be her heir. :P The first two were so promising... the first had momma's eyes, the second had her hair. The rest are all their father's coloring. This is quite frustrating, especially since there aren't any cheats allowed. If there were, I'd have the oldest grown with her younger siblings moved in.

It can be very annoying indeed! I know that cheats aren't technically allowed, but quite a lot of people do move out the youngsters early on if they aren't heirs. I don't tend to do that myself, though I will be doing so this time as they'll be leaving with their Mum - and moving in with her husband, in fact - she has been estranged from him whilst she had babies with my founder but as she's about to become an elder I need to get rid of her...! :-D

So yeah, if you really want the space you could consider moving out the husband with the children, I suppose, and finding her a new partner? I know that that doesn't suit the way that some people like to play though! How old is the oldest child?

Brandon had a stroke of bad luck. His first live in girl produced 6 children and there seemed to be a pattern with the twins: one would have the hair and the other the eyes. The second live in had 6, same thing no heir. Third produced the heir on the first go, a bouncy baby girl named Cordelia.

She'll be aging up in a day and thus begins her looking for potential mates at school.

Currently having a strange glitch in my game. The youngest of the first live in girl haven't aged from toddlers yet.

At that time, the oldest was a teenager, with 5 days until she was an adult. The mother (one with the special genes) was 4 days from becoming an elder. I had the dad quit his job and start making potions like crazy. :) He was able to produce the Young Again potion just in time. They drank it, the oldest aged up into an adult, and the parents moved out. (all of the children were at a boarding school) They then had triplets. Finally! Success! One girl, two boys. The girl has the required genetics, thankfully. :)

So in order, the children were:
Alyssa - had the eyes
Brianna - had the hair
Chelsie - nada
Danae - Nope
Emilie - Nuh-uh
Flynn - had the hair, but mysteriously disappeared as a toddler
Giselle - HEIR
Heath - neither
Ivan - has his momma's eyes

The eldest was a single child, as was the disappearing toddler. The last three were triplets, and the other four were two sets of twins. :) Yay fertility treatment! Now to get Giselle worked up to that. Oh, and her 'beau' will be her imaginary friend. :) I dyed his hair to brown so it's easier for me to tell if it's an heir or not.

*Edit
Welp. The dad had a midlife crisis and divorced Sheree. Not before getting her pregnant again, though. Another set of triplets, two girls and a boy this time. (Jenelle, Kayla and Luke)

Finally made it to Generation 3. First child was not perfect, so they are working on number 2 now. No fertility treatment this time around. 1st generation got the perf genes on the first kid and then proceeded to produce 11 kids anyway. 2nd generation was 12 kids, 2 wives and 2 assasinations by the Gen.1 founder, but kids 4 and 5 were twins with perf genes, so was #6. I had an heir poll for those three and the 2nd born twin was chosen.

The negative moodlet from the children isn't that bad. Just make sure your sim is well rested, fed, and cleaned before teaching the toddlers the big 3. Then get a teddy bear or a doll house to keep the toddlers occupied afterwards.

:wtf:

It's more likely to concive in the present than the past or future, however buying the fertility treatment helps(if you try multiple times, you may get pregnant several times, so it's kind of risky. I suggest you don't try to get a kid by trying and trying over and over.)

IF you SUCCESSFULLY 'try for baby' in the past, the teen/ YA will come (from my experience) out of the machine in 12-24 hours (If your sim got pregnant multiple times, the kids that come out will be a few hours apart (depends on amount of children).

Summary:
Unless you want a lot of kids, only 'try for baby' once a day (in the past or future).
Buy the fertility treatment before trying.
Wait for 12-24 hours.
See if the kid has your hair/ eyes.
Kick out those that don't! (I mean, do you REALLY want a buch of adults living in your house for no reason?)

P.S. In the time machines, twins and triplets do not exist. So your fertility treatment will not affect the amount of kids you get unless you try multiple times.

P.S.P.S (Post Script Post Script) Teens are less common than YA's, get it? Got it? Good!

I have updated the rules with an Extra Challenge, which is optional, for those of you who would like your Perfect Genetics challenge to be EVEN harder.

Extra Challenge (Optional)
If you want your Perfect Genetics challenge to be even harder, you can add an extra element:
- In addition to eye and hair colour, also give your sim a unique skin colour (blue, green or red)
- This means that there are three criterias for a sim to be your heir; skin, eye and hair colour

The twins Carrie & Darla (both vampires - yeah right, 50% chance...) have just been born. I'm excited whether one of them will be an heir...


Edit:
Still no heirs.

Carrie has pink eyes and a lovely hair color but it's not the right one.
I have no idea where Darla got her hair or eye color but she definitely has the same daddy as all of the others!

I actually enjoy this challenge so far, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get the right genes >.< But I'll keep trying, I think last I checked my sims have about nine kids. You'd think at least one out of the nine would actually have the right hair and eyes ;-; but here is the link if you'd like to check it out. :)

There's an xml file that controls the percentage where a sim gets their hair color and eye color from. For hair it's a 1 in 5 chance of being "mutant" aka random. For eyes its 1 in 10.

I don't know how it's affected if the one parent is first generation- no parents in their family tree. In my experience it seems like the random eyes and hair show up more.

I've attached a copy of the genetics xml tuning file for people's viewing pleasure.

Hello. This is fun. :) I'm trying it as well.

So, I started off with this guy, Albert Royal.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/fatality1986/sims%203/Screenshot-1082-1.jpg

I married him off to this lady.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/fatality1986/sims%203/Screenshot-1084-1.jpg

And they first had this girl. (not a heir)
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/fatality1986/sims%203/Screenshot-1088.jpg

Then second time they had triplets, 2 of which are potential heirs.

I'm going to try having other 2, since he's berry-skinned, and having a heir with berry skin would be ideal, but if I don't get one, then I'll pick whoever has his eyes and hair aid is the prettiest. :D

I read this yesterday 2 days ago, and started playing it right away. I started out with a sim I already had already created named Tiarika Marsh. (I wanted a ghetto name :p). The best part is, she already had the abnormal hair and eye color! She has Hot Pink Hair with Lavender highlights and Lavender eyes. Before I started this challenge, her storyline was that she was trying to be the new Nicki Minaj. (Singer Career) She already had the dislike children trait, since I always give anyone with a career like that the trait, so I just have to set out to find her an heir.

She and Hank Goddard had one child that looked like him & then Rashida (my lovely lady founder) had triplets, two of which turned out to be heirs.

The triplets playing together.

Rashida is Flirty, so she ended up hitting on another man in front of Hank. He accused her of cheating and I was tired of trying to save the relationship, so Rashida just broke it off.
Now we are anxiously awaiting Aurora to age up quickly so I can kick her out and send Rashida to Egypt to marry her romantic interest there, the food vendor. :p

Oh you can have 10+ sims living in the same house with the right mod. I know Nraas has a mod or two for that purpose. But, knowing from experience, trying to keep up with all of them is a headache and a half.

Out of complete boredom, I decided to try this. I've wanted to for a while, just never had the motivation to do so.

So, here is my founder, Lynn Murray (Random name by EA). She's got purple hair and purple eyes. I wasn't very creative. >.>

Her traits are: great kisser, good, hopeless romantic, born sales woman, and dislikes children.

She's pregnant with her first child right now.

Hey! Just started this challenge and have a super-quick question: what do I do if the kids are born with that puke-green hair, neither the mother's nor the father's hair color? It happens when genetics aren't assigned properly and they end up with that weird color.

I think I know that shade you're talking about. It's from the xml tuning file that allows a 1 in 5 chance of the hair color being completely random. I would say just keep on going. There's about a 1 in 5 chance of the hair being the founder's, more if not the first generation.

I'm enjoying this challenge, but because I find the Dislikes Children trait annoying I'm playing with a variation: instead of only needing one heir each generation, the number of heirs needs to keep increasing so that generation 10 (if I ever get there) will have 100 - and also the heir to the main house must be male each generation.

My founder is Horatio Starbright, and it took 13 children to get the perfect son we needed (plus two daughters). Luckily his lifetime wish was heartbreaker, so all his ex-girlfriends could disappear off with their imperfect kids :P

Edit: Horatio's oldest child, Arnold, who is a male copy of his mother as far as hair and eyes are concerned, has just had twins with another townie: Jane has Horatio's hair, and Naomi has BOTH hair AND eyes from her grandfather. What are the chances of that? Now I have to decide whether to adopt her or not...

L to R: Horatio, daughter Claudia, daughter Florence, son James

(Edited: Have to change this post up a bit. After 25 kids and no heir, my town was massively overpopulated by Etael children. There were few townies left, and then I had other technical issues, so in the end I deleted that world so I could start over. To make things a bit more simple I decided to just go with the original requirements this time- just the hair and eye color.)

Figure I'd give this a go. My Founder's name is Kieh Etael, and she doesn't have too much of a backstory other than she's a Demigod who has chosen to live among mortals. Kieh's traits are Dislikes Children (replaced Animal Lover), Artistic, Daredevil, Frugal, and Lucky. Her lifetime wish is Master of the Arts. She's a Capricorn whose favorite color is Purple (interestingly enough that color was chosen randomly by the game). She also likes key lime pie and classical music.
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww339/EijiLove/Sims/1.png
I put one of my premade sims, Brett Green, into the game because after about a day of roaming the town I realized there was absolutely no townie that was good enough for my lovely Kieh. I put Brett in the game without too much thinking about it, but I quickly grew to love the couple.
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww339/EijiLove/Sims/5.png
After a quick marriage
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww339/EijiLove/Sims/8.png
Kieh quickly became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. I named him Ruan, keeping the same name I used for Kieh's first child from my first attempt at this. In my previous attempt it took me 17 children just to get the hair/eye combo, but this time it only took one!
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww339/EijiLove/Sims/Edits/44-1.jpg
Kieh and Brett had one more child, a girl name Kohari. She got Kieh's hair and ears, and Brett's eyes.
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww339/EijiLove/Sims/Edits/2-1.jpg

And as young adults
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww339/EijiLove/Sims/Edits/11.png
In order to make things easier, Ruan became a Casanova, and did Try for Baby with multiple female townies. One of those was Penny Pincher, and she gave birth to triplets! The oldest triplet ended up being the new heir. Her name is Laveah Etael (originally Laticia Pincher)

Okay, so I started this thing up with Zynthia: Pink hair, orange highlights and bright pink eyes. Got her a romantic interest first day, knocked up the next, married the day after that. Had a girl named WTH, a boy named WTF, a boy named Seriously, a girl named Again, a girl named Another one, and finally another girl named Good Lord. Out of all of them, WTF and Good Lord had the hair, and none of them had her eyes.

Engineered a fight with her husband, kicked him and the toddlers out (I'm keeping WTH as a live in baby-sitter, and because I just like her) and now have two different love interests. I'll put up pictures later.

Generation 4 got perf gens on the first try. They made a spare just in case, but it was not perfect. Everyone started doing the cringing thing towards the mother. Would stop what they were doing to do it too. Kind of like when they see a ghost or simbot. Anyway, heir dumped her, she moved out and took the Heirs twin with her...they ended up married and pregnant. So, the single father is just biding his time for the 1st born to age up and take over.

So I was lurking around this topic and decided to try this challenge for myself!
I just made my starting sim Evelyn Keller (name chosen by the game). I've not put too much thought into her clothing (as you will probably see) and I haven't really given her a backstory. Her given traits were Dislikes Children, Social Butterfly, Snob, Star Quality and Natural Cook. I gave her the Gold Digger lifetime wish. If anybody is interested, she likes Irish Green, Classical Music and Su Surprise and she is a Scorpio :D
http://i48.tinypic.com/23sxloy.jpg

I'm just moving her in and I will keep everybody posted ^^

Got it on the eleventh child: Why Me (Twins with Sweet Jesus). Previous children before Why Me were Oh God, Not Again, and Not Another (would have been Not Another One if there was room).

I'm thinking that I'd add another element to my version: The surrogant parent. Basically, the firstborn (as long as he/she is not the heir) pretty much takes over parenting as soon as he/she is a teen. SOMEBODY has to take care of the kids, dag nabbit! They will remain in the house as long as the heir does and is not allowed to date or have kids until then. They must have Family Oriented as a trait and Surrounded by Family as their Life Time Wish.

Also, just as a general rule: as soon as the heir is born, that's the only child the gene-bearer will take care of. All the rest will have to either just look out for themselves, or by the other parent/surrogate.

I might try to do a bit of a legacy thing from the point of view of the surrogates, starting with WTH... as soon as I figure out how to upload the photos I take/take photos without the bar thingy. Any suggestions?

Another update for you guys! It's a rather long one. I took a lot of pictures this time around: My blog (http://lmofmylife.blogspot.com/2012/08/pgc-update-3.html)

Nagasha, those names are hilarious! If you're talking about avoiding the screenshot bar, then you'll have to upload the pictures to Photobucket or some place similar. But then you have to go through the trouble of resizing (depending on how you have the screenshot capture settings in game) and such. That's why I like using my blog. It does most of the work for me :)

@iButterfree- The thing is, I don't really know how to upload the pictures, except to the My Studio thing.

But yeah, you're blog is great! I want to do something like that, as told by the babysitter sibling. My only problems are A) the picture thing, and B) I feel like I started out a bit too late. The perfect time probably would have been on WTH's birthday when: Her mom kicked her dad (and the five toddlers) out of the house two days before her birthday, then on the day of her actual birthday (which nobody celebrated), got married in the next room without telling her before or after. Poor girl.

Well, if you use Blogger, which is what I use, you only need to have the images stored on your computer. That's what makes it easy because the images are automatically stored on your computer when you take a screenshot. The folder is usually found using this directory: "Your Documents --> Electronic Arts --> Sims 3 --> Screenshots".

Then when you go and make a post in the blog there will be an icon in the shape of a picture. You click on that and follow the directory to your images. You click on the one(s) you want to upload. Blogger will upload it to a viewing popup, and from there you can select the images you want to add, click the upload button, and it will be shown in the blog post. If the picture is big it will automatically scale it down. Clicking on the picture will bring up a bunch of different options. You can change the size, add captions, format it, etc. Clicking and dragging the picture will also allow you to freely move it around in the post. It's pretty much just clicking a couple buttons, and then going in and adding the text.

Last night, Evelyn met Kenji Jarvis - they fell in love and soon enough she was in the motherly way.

http://i45.tinypic.com/2q9vq85.jpg

Surprisingly enough she seemed quite happy about the pregnancy, having a wish to read a pregnancy book and a wish so have a boy :lol:. The big day eventually came for Evelyn and Jarvis, and at silly-o-clock in the morning, Quagmire was born!

Kenji pretty much single-handedly looked after the baby whilst Evelyn did... not a whole lot. Unfortunately when they got married he lost her surname of Keller and adopted the name Jarvis ><

And then Quagmire grew up. Hair is a no match, and so are the eyes :( But it's okay, because on the day he was born, his mother got pregnant again ^^
And the kid is pretty cute..

So, I had to restart this challenge, since I accidentally deleted all my saves.

I took another child from one of my other families I'd been playing, the youngest daughter by triplets. A result of a random sim, and Jared Frio. I changed her hair and eye colour to pink.

I'll be starting a blog for this for pictures and whatnot. I'll post that when I"ve got it ready.]

Evelyn got pregnant again and had a boy, Huw, who was an heir! Hooray! He's cute as hell too. Unfortunately before I found out he was an heir, she got pregnant again and has now just had triplets - Javier, Fernando and Althea. I will update it when I know their heir status and I will add pics a little later on :)
Kenji and Evelyn are having a little trouble coping with this number of kids :lol:

Evelyn in labour with Lorrie, and a picture of Lorrie because I don't think I uploaded one before

This is Huw and Huw again as a child. He's got lovely eyes O.O

*UPDATE*
Evelyn's triplets grew up yesterday, and there was an heir, Javier!
So now Huw is a child and he's over at Le Fromage Art School, Lorrie is at military school and Quagmire, who is now a teen, is at the School of Peace and Love. Evelyn and Kenji are finding it a bit easier to cope with three toddlers, but they had to hire a butler when there was 4 toddlers in the house :lol:

This is my family founder, Zelda.

She has two kids so far, twins. Annabel and Arthur. Unfortunately neither of them fit, but she's pregnant again, so fingers crossed!

Thanks, Bek! I love her too, she is lovely. Onto her second husband now, since her first three kids weren't heirs. Her third child, Adlai, looked exactly like his brother Arthur. *sigh*

It looks like only those you have invited can view the blog. Is that what you mean by "what's messing up"? If it is, you just have to go to your blog's settings. There's a section called Permissions, and a further sub-section called Blog Readers. You just need to click edit and select "Anybody".

Update 8 (http://lmofmylife.blogspot.com/2012/09/pgc-update-8.html) on mine.

It's pretty easy. When you go to make a post there is a sectional below the post area called "Additional Options". There is a smaller section called Image Upload. Click the upload button, and from there you can select images and upload them directly from your computer. You can also use sites like Photobucket to edit and scale down images if the file sizes are too big, and then copy the image link into the post.

Update 9 (http://lmofmylife.blogspot.com/2012/10/pgc-update-9.html)

I started this challenge, but after nine children I'm sort of giving up. It makes my game lag :( It's annoying too, 'cause it's a fun challenge. Just not one my computer can handle, if my sims insist on having boring offspring.

You could "abandon the children on doorsteps". If you go into Edit Town mode and click to merge your household with another household, you can move your boring offspring over to the other household without worrying about age limits. I did that a lot with my Greene Family. My founder had 12 children (most with different men) and she abandoned the unwanted ones on their father's doorsteps.

I've decided to try this challenge. Meet Kristin Palmer.

http://thumbs2.modthesims2.com/img/6/2/7/0/9/4/4/MTS_Bronwynn-1327460-Palmer001.jpg

She's a musician who wants to be a super popular rock star. She's already completed her LTW, but she's still working on her career. Kristin is currently having an affair with her boss, Stiles McGraw. I'll get her pregnant once she's closer to being a rock star. Hopefully it goes well.

Update 11 (http://lmofmylife.blogspot.com/2012/10/pgc-update-11-etael-familys-last.html) reaches the 10th generation for the Etael family! But is it really over?.......

I really liked this challenge, and I have more in store. If you liked seeing my posts let me know, and hopefully you'll considering following my blog so I can scale back on how many update notices I put here. In any case, I'm glad some people were able to enjoy the story. It's been a blast!

Hi! I decided to post for this challenge so here we go. My founder is called Victoria Redwood and I decided to move her into the town of Riverview (I can't remember which lot exactly) Her traits are Dislikes Children, Handy, No Sense Of Humour, Flirty and Hopeless Romantic.
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n615/TheFlibbles/screenshot_original3.jpg

She went to the gallery and met Lucky (I can't remember his last name before their marriage)
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n615/TheFlibbles/screenshot_original7.jpg

She invited him back to her house where they decided to try for a baby and he went home quite satisfied the next day.
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n615/TheFlibbles/screenshot_original6.jpg

Victoria found out she was pregnant and quickly let the father know, and then proceeded to propose.
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n615/TheFlibbles/screenshot_original5.jpg

The baby, named Elizabeth, was born but unfortunately she did not turn out to be an heir. (I stupidly forgot to get a picture of her but she had blonde hair and blue eyes, not the pink hair and red eyes I want)

Lucky and Victoria tried for a baby again and they got married quickly before Victoria started showing.
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n615/TheFlibbles/screenshot_original.jpg

Victoria, who has two celebrity stars, had a man flirting with her while she was out and about and the paparazzi caught it all on camera. Rumours spread and Lucky jumped to the wrong conclusions but Victoria quickly apologised.
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n615/TheFlibbles/screenshot_original2.jpg

That is pretty much all that has happened so far, Victoria is very close to giving birth to child number 2 so fingers crossed!

:)

Wow I play a lot! :D

Okay my sims had triplets! Two boys and one girl! The girl has brown hair and green eyes, the first boy has green hair and blue eyes (don't know why blue), and the last kid born is Timmy who has both green hair and eyes. :D I found my sim! So Hope grew up and got a boyfriend they moved out. The other girl adopted a baby boy and moved out. The first son got a girlfriend who is expecting his baby and moved out. Now Timmy got a wife and a little girl. His little girl's name is Ali and she has brown hair and green eyes. If you are wondering what happened to my first two sims I will let you now they are still here. They have three grandchilderen. They are now elders but, they still live with there son, Timmy his wife and kid.

The familly tree is getting big :)

I decided to give this a go seems like its going to be really fun. I started as a single female. Her name is Alora Smith

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k308/Pacifica_Sun/Screenshot-74.jpg

She is a Scorpio and has clumsy, hopeless romantic, dislikes children, neat, and workaholic. She likes Hip hop, Ceviche and Pink.
She moved into a tiny apartment just her and her dog. She soon became intrested in a neighbor named Heimrich Shimmy.
They romanced, and soon they ended up woohooing.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k308/Pacifica_Sun/Screenshot-67.jpg

This is Heimrich strutting his stuff after the whoohoo
Alora became pregnant, and soon had a bouncing baby boy

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k308/Pacifica_Sun/Screenshot-75.jpg

The babies name is Miller Smith. He is a Taurus. His Traits are loner, and loves the outdoors. His faves are Indie, Stir-fry, and his fav color is grey. At first Alora seemed happy about the baby, but then I found her rocking, and she did not look pleased.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k308/Pacifica_Sun/Screenshot-76.jpg

Miller soon aged up, and he is a near perfect heir for his mother. He has the purple/blue hair, and the black eyes, but not the pointy ears I wanted him to have.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k308/Pacifica_Sun/Screenshot-79.jpg

Alora's wish is to see the ghost of dead, rich, spouse so i am husband hunting for her, and there is sure to be more babies on the way.
