GENETICS COMPARED! Sims 2 vs. Sims 3 vs. Sims 4

I'm comparing genetics in The Sims 2 vs. The Sims 3 vs. The Sims 4. Can you guess which one has the most complex genetics?

I think the reason for genetics being so simple, atleast in the sims 3, is because we have a colorwheel, there are millions of different shades, so it becomes difficult to apply realistic genetics

[@danaroth598]

I can defend Sims 3's choices re: simplified genetics because coding in dominant and recessive genes for hair and eyes when you're using a color wheel system seems pretty painful. I do wish they had set it so Sims have a base natural hair color that is the only one they pass on, though, regardless of how they change their hair later. I once had a Sim change her brown hair to bright pink as a young adult, but then I forgot to switch it back to her natural color when she had a kid, and whoops, her toddler had bright pink hair! I can't defend Sims 4 not bringing hair/eye genetics back when they brought back the swatch system, though.

"Get a better hair style dude!"

[@rhinoromp5164]

If you give a sim in the sims 3 a natural colour for their hair roots, but an unatural colour for their hair highlights tip and base the child will inherit only the natural base colour. I think this was what was intended for the genetics in the game.

[@nida4780]

ok that's it why is no one talking about how gorgeous she looks especially your hair is amazing i just can't-

[@hippie_ish]

Sims 2 Genetics are my FAVORITE and the most realistic. I don't even mod it to give it equal genetics because I love it just the way it is. Oldest game but most advanced genetics. It's amazing.

[@MsBikasa]

I actually don’t mind the unnatural hair colour being passed down generations as I like playing with supernaturals. Like elves and fairies for example, it would be weird of the mum and dad had blue and green hair and the child is born with brown 😅

[@moldyteeth18]

I really like the sims 2 recessive and dominant traits, sims 3 is also a fav of mine because I like how I'm sometimes surprised with what hair or eye color my baby is born with especially if there's a lot of the same colors going on. It helps break up the genetics and add different colors haha! I do think that the reason there isn't a super complex genetics system in the sims 3 is because there is create a color. With the player's ability to give their sim neon green hair and bright purple eyes, it'd be kind of hard to say what colors are recessive and what are dominant. Sims 4 is just a disappointment.

[@aspirationfailure6100]

I think sims 2 did it best tbh since dyeing your hair in sims 3/4 makes the dyed hair GENETIC and that’s not realistic and in sims 2 you can have Recessive genes to and I love it plus you can get that genetics mod and it makes it even better! Nice video Cindy!

[@user-yr3ob4xl6o]

There is a "random genetics" mod for sims 3, that actually gives child a mixture of parents' sliders. It randomly chooses more dominant features of one of the parents. For example when u have a child notification will pop up saying " nose features of parent 1 - 83%, mouth - 46% etc." I highly recommend trying out this mod. The creator is NeuroBlazer

Sims 2: Biology expert.

[@mastermind4499]

The Sims 2: pretty realistic

[@TrisTrisTris]

I love how much depth the sims 2 is. You can tell Maxis cared, and that they wanted to make a great game.

[@ultro9980]

An important thing to add is that in sims 2 after plastic surgery the kid will inherit the original face of the parent!

[@drake713]

Sims 2: everyone is black haired at gen 5

[@SHfailM]

the worst part about sims 4 genetics for me is the way the faces are generated. they always seem to get either a HUGE jaw/chin or absolutely nothing at all, despite the parents looking nothing like it, i always had to fix this in my games lol

[@GenericUsername1388]

In sims 3 i had a family that started off with a guy with jet black hair and a woman with orange hair. All their kids had the dads colour and so did their grandkids but i was so pleasantly surprised to see one of their great grandkids came out with bright orange hair like his great grandma.

[@Kittysuit]

i actually like the sims 3 genetics because it can create very unique sims. i very often use this feature to create unique sims that i would have never been able to create myself

[@wannabecreative1460]

Is body shape inherited in the Sims 4? Because children seem to often get weird body shapes in my game. And the chins get weaker with every generation

[@dasfruchtchen7146]

Me - studying genetics and microbiology - is dying while listening to the spin Sims gave genetic in their game.
