The reason "random" coat colors can show up is because certain breeds have some attached "recessive" coat colors that can appear in their offspring, which is very realistic to actual puppy litters :)
@@onlyoncetbj The same does apply to humans, but we don't have as much that's based on it. It's easier to notice on dogs because they're literally covered in fur. The Sims does use recessive genes for the humans but again it's not as noticeable.
I remember when I used the paint tool for the first time to give one of my cats a little bow tie. I ended up giving him to my sim's daughter, but the other cat had the trait that makes pets wonder around the neighborhood and, shockingly, even come back pregnant. I didn't even have to guess who the father was - all the kittens had little bow ties on them 😂
@@nanyummyify I wondered why mine had kittens a few generations ago. She had a kitten Daisy I created in CAS from her then had a kitten I called Oopsie. It wasn’t until she passed that I noticed on the screen of my family they were listed as Oopsie n Daisy. Lol completely unplanned that bit.
Would be cool to have some like mine where they’re green in the middle and blue still on the outer edges. (Until I got to junior high I had blue eyes, then went green/blue there after)
I used the paint function once to make my tortoise shell colored cat in game. I spent all night painting all her little spots and had reference pictures to make sure it was accurate.
This is why I use MC Command Center to set it so kids inherit the maximum number of physical traits from their parents possible, and I disable random mutation lol Well mostly. I think I left like a one percent chance a randomly mutated thing could enter just because it is interesting watching a mutation spread lmao
@@kyidyl There are a couple of sections to do that. First, go to MC CAS. Under there go to "Offspring". Then go to "Use Parent Physical Attributes" and Enable it. Then go to "Parent Values Variance Percent" and set that to whatever you like. I set mine at 1 because I think its fun to have a tiny chance at a random mutation but you can set it to 0. Then go to "Use Parent Skin Details" and Enable that. Then go to the MC PREGNANCY module. Under there should be another "Offspring" section. Then go to "Inherit Trait Type" and set it to "Inherit Maximum Number". Then go to "Maximum Inherit Traits" and set that to 20 cause thats the most.
I did use the custom tools to create my own irl dog at one point. It was weird though because size-wise she's halfway between large and small, so I didn't know what size to make her. But I did really enjoy being able to customize her fur so well.
I honestly wish that they’d implement more thought-out genetics in TS4. It would be super cool to see consistent patterns in large families, as well as which recessive and dominant traits exist within a family.
Hey lilsimsie, me and my sister play this “challenge” that we kind of made up. We set a timer and give each other one minute to make any changes to a blank sim we want and then we switch. And do it over and over until there’s nothing else to add. And you’re not allowed to change what the other person did and by the end you have a cool looking sim that you made together. I haven’t seen anyone else do it but its really fun. Just a suggestion. :)
i love how she's making more sponsored videos than she used to lol someone has a new house to furnish! also thank you for another entertaining video simsie i'm sure you must be really busy put you keep posting content for us and streaming on twitch almost everyday. thank you❤️
Honestly every pet looks similar in the sims so usually when I make one for my sims I use the paint tool and I always choose "unnatural" colors (red,blue,and purple are my favorites) so that the pet is unique to that sim/household.
Have you ever seen pictures of corgis breed with just about any other breed? They literally just look like corgis disguised as whatever they were bred with. It's cute and hilarious.
I think genetics for pets is pretty accurate cause my aunts dog had a litter of puppies and the mama dog was all brown and puppy 1 was brown, puppy 2 was white with brown spots, puppy 3 was brown with dark brown spots and puppy 4 was dark brown
I like to create pets that I’ve had dreams about irl but who don’t actually exist, because i tend to get quite attached to the animals in my dream, so it’s like having a picture of them even though I can’t really take one! Painting them always helps to get them to look just right like my dream
I used the tool to make my dogs and cats. My dog has really different fur, so it was fun making her. The only problem is that after they added neighbors stories, the game auto moved my sim and the pets to a house and when I saw it, I had a child and the dogs had 3 puppies 🤣
That's actually pretty accurate as to what happens with mutts. I mean, not the coloring and features that appear out of the nowhere, but the fact that you keep getting the same dog. When dogs get so mixed, only the strongest features such as black or caramel fur, short fur, comes out, and that's why most of the mutts end up looking the same and don't have distinct features. It's the origin of the "vira-lata caramelo" or "yellow/Caramel mutt", which is a specific kind of dog we have in Brazil that we see several of them everywhere, and popularly became our "national mascot".
I have this game i like to play where I start off with 2 purebreds, randomize pups until I fill the family, and then I pick an "heir" to lead the next generation and I breed that one with a different purebred. it always turns out so cool with so much diversity and its my favorite thing to do in cas
I honestly love videos like this where you’re just messing with the games mechanics, I find it so interesting how the animals are so different each time even though it’s the same parents
I use the paint tools a lot when recreating coats on dogs or putting lil decoration markings on my animals. I used the moon stamp on one of my cats recently bc i wanted him to look magical for my witch sim🤣
One of my favorite things to do since we had babies and generations starting in Sims 2 was to play with genetics, it was so much more fun in Sims 3. One game I had I made a huge family of blonde and sent the daughters off to live their lives. One daughter I used to just mate with pretty much whatever male walked to her front door (or near her house since this was Sims 3). And at one point she had a red haired child. No idea where the red hair came from, far as I remember the father didn't have red hair either. Her parents weren't red haired. I don't remember if I had made the grandparents but I probably did and *they* didn't have red hair at all. It was a neat little 'experiment'
I blended all the breeds twice. That was a fun experiment. Dog ended up being all white and shaggy. Pretty dog. I add it in a lot of my games, and she has pretty puppies.
YESSSSS i LOVE messing with pets in the sims! the paint tool is so fun because you can use different brushes and make like, tiny leopards, do something crazy, or make a realistic cat!

@@celesteH258 took me a few minutes to figure it out too. click the little yellow cat icon in the top right corner, and click the settings icon ( the one above the house icon). There's a spot there that says Enter Code
I love making custom pets, I’ve made all (current and previous) our family pets at least once. I usually use low opacity and keep layering until I like the look. I treat it like I’m painting.
If been playing secret cat forest for soooooo long now, only a piano and golden globe to go to get the secret tent 😂 the music is so calming and the art style is adorable!
it kinda reminds me of guinea pig breeding.... you can have 3 babies from the same dad and mum look completely different. different faces, coats, body sizes, it's cuuuuute
The last dogs head shape is from one of the earlier generations, like with humans say your great great grandparents were twins and had red hair and it skipped and skipped and you end up having twins with red hair. It’s all about the genetics and someone can look just like their great great great grandparents. It’s weird but interesting.
you should play Rust!!! its SUPER DUPER chill and a very calming experience!! (nobody tell her....shhhh....) you WILL love it Kayla I promise you over my first born child's soul
I use the create tools on my pets all the time. It's so much fun to change the coloring, and add spots to the animal or stripes, or even make it a holiday pet, with green fur with colored spots for ornaments. LOL
I wouldn’t mess with the paint tool for a random cat probably, but I did use it to make my IRL black & white cat (before he passed away this year) and it looks SO much like him
i've used the animal painting tool for specific animal characters, like my webcomic's dog characters that have very distinct patterns, and when i was doing my Undertale Sims LP a few years ago, i used it to make some of the dogs in the game. it's definitelly nice for those types of things!
I used the paint pet tool for the first time yesterday because I was trying to make my dog, who has the colouring of a rottie but I wanted to make the patterns more specific. It was surprisingly easy once I got the hang of it, and the sim dog looked a lot like mine!
I used to breed unicorns in sims 3. I'd decorate them to have pretty rainbow colors and flowers and stuff, then breed them to see how the babies came out. I miss that. Wish the genetics worked the same in sims 4
I breed dogs in the Sims a lot (every household always has several dogs, I'm obsessed) and I think because pet customization options are SO elaborate in the sims 4, the randomizer just gets confused and is only able to pick some things at once. Like, it will never mix parents in equal part, and only take a limited number of elements. No idea about the random colors though.
Dalmatian spots are a form of what is called piebald colouring (white with coloured patchs) common in lots of dogs. In Dalmatians(and sometime in Chinese Crested dogs irc), it is extreme piebald spotting, vs say a english bull terrier that is white with 1 eye patch (just extreme piebald) vs regular piebald that the second gen puppy had -larger coloured patching. So mixing extreme pie with a 'solid' brownish dog/no pie, got you a sort of middle piebald dog. It is actually fairly accurate dog genetics. -info based on my memories from studying dog genetics/alleles 10 years ago in biology. :P
I really like to add one special spot to my pets, like one dark streak or one paw painted so that I can tell the difference between them and other pets
Same on the barely using pet stuff, like a lot of my sims families have pets but I only ever put them in collars - or harnesses for dog walks, none of my pets get the funky outfits or colouring available despite me paying for the pack when it immediately came out lol
I'm not hugely into playing with mods but man a genetics mod for the sims would be an instant download, I loved seeing it in the previous games so much and I really miss it
When making specific families based off of real life, I'll use the custom paint tool. It allowed me to make my cat with his exact fur patterns and coloring :)
I like to use the stamp options to brand my cats/dogs with something cool. Especially in my Notsoberry challenge I've given things like a green leaf for mint, a red kiss on the neck for Rosegen, a yellow star (and that's as far as I've gotten.)
I’ve created a lot of pets for townie households, but don’t play with them much in game/in my main households. Which is odd because I do love cats and dogs so much in real life, but in seems they often seem like more of a chore, or I use cheats/mods to make them less annoying, but then I kind of forget about them 😅😭
I once had a save with 2 dogs and I bred them together and each puppy had the head of one parent and the body of the other one. They looked adorable as puppies but then they looked really weird as adults so I put them up for adoption
I love watching your content it gives me so many ideas! Also, I do use the paint tool when making my pets but ONLY if I'm actually trying to create a pet based on a real pet. Like I made my actual dogs and used it on them.
I've used the pet tool about once (hoping to make it at least twice though) and it's because I was making Sims based on Persona 5 and one of the characters in Persona 5 is a cat. But I didn't really need to use custom tools that much because that cat is just a very standard tuxedo cat, I think the most I needed to do was paint over his belly and add white paws and a white tail tip
I don't usually make a pet in CAS but recently I felt like messing with the dog genetics and I ended up with a giant fox. I mixed a fox with a dingo. it was so cute!
Dude I love the weird genetics in sims 4 it's just really fun seeing what abominations you can get through breeding Kinda explains why I like games like flight rising lol
You should see some of the pet paintings people make on the gallery. Like it's fully just Renaissance paintings on dogs. I have no idea how they do it!
The reason "random" coat colors can show up is because certain breeds have some attached "recessive" coat colors that can appear in their offspring, which is very realistic to actual puppy litters :)

Also, I do use the paint tool when making my pets but ONLY if I'm actually trying to create a pet based on a real pet. Like I made my actual dogs and used it on them.
I've used the pet tool about once (hoping to make it at least twice though) and it's because I was making Sims based on Persona 5 and one of the characters in Persona 5 is a cat. But I didn't really need to use custom tools that much because that cat is just a very standard tuxedo cat, I think the most I needed to do was paint over his belly and add white paws and a white tail tip
I don't usually make a pet in CAS but recently I felt like messing with the dog genetics and I ended up with a giant fox. I mixed a fox with a dingo. it was so cute!
Dude I love the weird genetics in sims 4
it's just really fun seeing what abominations you can get through breeding
Kinda explains why I like games like flight rising lol
You make my day with your videos it’s been a rough week but watching your videos make it better🤍
Ok but secret cat Forrest is actually a super cute game, I played it almost obsessively for months
"Genetics.... look at how small it's head is .... WHAT THE HECK??!!" 🤣 🤣 🤣
Can you do a cat one? Please.
The grey black puppy between sim 5 and dog 4 is so cute I want it irl.
You should see some of the pet paintings people make on the gallery. Like it's fully just Renaissance paintings on dogs. I have no idea how they do it!
