"I didn't click try for baby"

I really didn't click try for baby when my Sim couple wanted to to woohoo in the hot tub, but most likely ACR risky chance came into play. Good thing I moved them into bigger house.

Definitely something like "stop dragging the poor kid to dance and leave her alone!" when 2 of my sims would kept dragging the kid to dance non stop!

I am annoyed by this too and wondering why there isn't "no autonomous look through " mod made yet.

Pescado's "Autonomy Controller" should work with all autonomous actions that use objects.

You could put it in inventory during the day and Brit it out only at night. Or put it behind a locked door. I don't think there's an easy solution

How in the world did Telegonus Beaker and Tina Traveller, both blonds, have a red-headed baby?
Mad Poster
#3561 Old 10th Aug 2020 at 11:54 PM
That's the miracle of recessives. Tina has two blonde genes; Telegonus has one blond gene from Loki and one red gene from Circe. He contributed the red gene, which is equal in value to Tina's blond one, and they flipped for it.

What I wonder is, how is it I never, ever get a brunette when breeding brown hair to black hair?

That's weird. I thought black and brown hair were both dominant, so you should definitely get either black or brown for the child's hair.

Black and brown are both dominant, but someone brown hardly ever wins the coin toss for me.

In my game brown hair frequently wins out over black hair. For example, in my Beginning of Pleasantview Hood I had a family where the father was a redhead (R/R) while the mother had black hair with a brown gene (Black/Brown) they had six children. After rolling the pacifier to avoid the first born effect I took whatever baby they produced (no existing without saving) and of the six children only the oldest daughter had black hair, the other five had brown hair.
The really funny part is though between each other the parents had genetics for Grey, Light Blue, Green and Brown eyes. The oldest daughter, witht he black hair, had brown eyes, all her younger brothers and sisters ended up with light blue eyes, no grey or green at all.
They didn't suffer from first born syndrome, except for their hair/eye colours they all ended up looking very different from each other and with different personalities.

I downloaded mods for hair dominance because even after seven generations I couldn't get a recessive or a brown to show up in a child. Founder and founder's spouse had black hair, no other spouses did, every single offspring for all seven generations had black hair. Everyone had recessives, and even with the supposed fifty-fifty chance of brown, I got none.

With mods setting all hair colors to recessive, now I get a reasonable variety.

Well statistical clusters (where a 50/50 chance always lands on the same side) are a thing (just like I got 5 kids in that family, all with brown hair and light blue eyes) but as far as the game's programming is concerned, if a Sim inherits a black and a brown hair gene it's 50/50 which of them "wins out".

I think one of the problem's with he genetic system of Sims 2 is that, while it's totally awesome in it's realism, many neighbourhoods don't have a large enough population to showcase it.
By the time I got bored of my Beginning of Pleasantview hood the four hair colours were actually almost equally represented among it's population, with stuff like a blond hair gene showing up after 3-4 generations. But that also was a neighbourhood of over 200 Sims, so...

"Dear Susan's Boss,

Your employee Susan has just moved into a new house, she's heavily pregnant with two children underfoot (admittedly also with a husband and aunt willing to help, but that's not the point) and if she'd simply skipped the day, you wouldn't have said a word. She's only here because she rolled a want to get promoted and therefore I walked her to work as soon as the move-in cinematic finished. You do NOT have authority to complain about her being 90 minutes late for her 10-hour shift.

Yours sincerely

For context, one of my playable teen male sims fell in love with a newspaper girl. The feelings were mutual and she was moved in with a teleporter shrub. The boy grew up a few days before she would, I don't have University or Free Time, and I didn't want to bother with elixir.

"Today's the day, and it's 6 PM!"
I click "grow up"; she rolls "meet someone new", "move out", and two aspiration-based unrelated wants.
"As you wish," I say to myself, as she picks up a newspaper and moves out.

This isn't what I said while playing the sims, but something Liz Lemon said about playing the sims:
"Look, Jack, I don't have a lot of personal life experience, but if I've learnt anything about my sims family, when a child doesn't see his father enough, he starts to jump up and down. Then his mood level will drop. Until he pees himself."
