That's not a click bait I swear! You will love it as much as I do.

Sorry that it was a while from the last WIP. Most of the time I was just making posts for the mods I finished a month ago.

There are a couple of posts I haven't made yet, that's for Steady Pregnancy Progression and Fears Fix (that's insane it waits for several months just to be released from my Mods folder 😭). And regarding to the first one, there are great news: I managed to implement it that way you can assign any numbers of belly size you want! So the mod will be going with the presets but you can adjust them for yourself.

I started to work on Romance Remake finally lol. But it's not something interesting (for now). But then what is?

Genetics Overhaul

I guess this is the biggest and most difficult work I have ever done!

Unfortunately, I do this not only because I just want it. I mentioned earlier that I'm a cat volunteer. And things these weekends were just insanely bad. I won't give you the details avoiding unnecessary trigger warning, but I haven't slept for a couple of days, and that caused hypomania (I have bipolar disorder). Awful motivation, but at least hard working distracts me from unbearable stress. OK, to the good news then.

Inheritance from grandparents

Maybe you didn't know, but the Sims 4 genetics just sucks. Nothing realistic is there. If your children somehow look like their grandparents, that's a plain coincidence or a bug (in case of hair or eyes color). The game just doesn't even look at the parents' genetics.

But with my mod you can adjust the distribution of the parent and grandparents inheritance. Say, with 70% possibility a feature is coming from the parent itself. But with 15% it goes from the grandparent A or the grandparent B (if they exist of course).

I tested it on my own families and God I'm sad that I haven't created this mod before (though I always wanted to). Well, it's a real code challenge and almost no public information exists about such things. The base is already finished, I'm working now on support of the MCCC settings so there will be no overwriting between these two mods.

It also affects not only the appearance, but the occult type too!

And that's just one module. I have more.

Occult Mutations

This is a standalone mod, so you can ignore it if you don't play with the occults or just don't need it. The same goes for all mods in this genetics collection btw.

With some chance and occults that you can adjust, a child of another occult type can be born. Say, two Spellcasters can become a parent of a Vampire child. Or maybe Fairies swapped their newborn with your human one? I miss this mechanics, so I share it with you, maybe you're interested too!

Shrinking Chin Bug Fixed (and another ugly randomization too)

I believe most of us already faced this annoying issue that Sims get smaller and smaller chins from one generation to another. Random NPCs also often have it. Besides, there are other unpleasant randomization features: big distance between eyes, strange location of eyes / nose / mouth, small shoulders and so on.

I found the modifier randomization templates and fixed them. I'm not sure how many thousands of dice rolls I made to find the best values but now most of the results look fine. I tested it on my families too as it's easier to understand what it should be when you know your Sims genetics. So this is a possible child of my current generation. Trust me, she wouldn't get so nice chin without my fix so she is lucky haha

The 'True' Hair Color Memorizing

Still can't believe TS4 doesn't even know such things as hair dying lol. If you change the hair color, then it's like natural color then.

I'm still investigating the limits of this module, but the game will keep the natural hair color info as the hidden trait. When the offspring is generating, the game will check the trait instead of the current hair color (if the trait exists ofc). You can manually change the hair color trait too.

I'm not sure if it can be applied on the attraction system, and it won't be checked by the CAS mode (as well as the main inheritance module and occult mutations as well). I wish it would, but as modders we don't have any access to the CAS code so I can only affect the things that are performed outside.

I hope you're thrilled just as I am!
