This one's for @princesspiratecat, who wished Rosalind could have a bunch of beautiful babies with all of my best-looking BaCC sims. Ros knows her birth control ABCs (erm, most of the time, anyway), so there's little chance of something like that actually happening in the BACC... but that's not to say we can't have some fun in CAS, ay? 😉
So I decided to do a little experiment in genetics in which I took Rosalind and had her have some fictitious babies with every adult male sim currently residing in Wyvern's Bay (because in my book, all my sims are my 'best-looking sims' - can you tell I'm totally not biased? 😄).
I got the spawns the classic way, by rolling the pacifier in CAS. They all got cosmetic makeovers (makeup, clothes, haircuts) but the genetics and features they rolled weren't changed. The pics also aren’t edited aside from some basic brightening/contrast. All for fairness’ sake!
Can you guess who the father is for each set of siblings? 😉 Answers & rambly musings under the cut!
1. Rosalind + Feanor Moonfeather. An easy one to guess, considering the girl got her father's characteristic ears, his eye and hair color, and his straight nose. From mom she got the lips, the skintone, and maybe the jawline too, though I can't be sure about that one. The guy has the same mouth-jaw-nose configuration as his sister and the same skintone, but unlike his sister, he got mom's blue eyes and human ears. Overall a pretty good blend of the parents on both of them, A+, would be totally stoked if Feanor & Rosalind's actual kid from the BACC looked like either of them (personal preference leans towards the girl).
2. Rosalind + Tom Wagamese. While Rosalind & Tom are both gorgeous sims individually, I've found that their genes aren't the easiest ones to mix; took me several rolls to get the kids shown here. Girlie seems to be a carbon copy of Tom aside from the blue eyes and possibly the jawline, which would explain why her mouth was at such an odd position relative to the rest of her face (I had to lower it a click or two which is the only* time I've cheated during this experiment). The bro got more of Rosalind in him, most notably the nose and the rounded jaw (great for beards, looks kinda meh bare), as well as the lighter tan skin which I also cheated to get because Rosalind's skintone apparently isn't geneticized. Both of them seem to have gotten Tom's full lips, and ofc his raven hair. Final verdict: pretty spawns with great potential, but would probably need further tweaking in BS if added to the game.
3. Rosalind + Gabriel Blackbird. Another easy guess thanks to the telltale white hair (which, for the record, I didn't cheat to get because my game actually recognizes Timebomb as a legit genetic color). Here, both sibling got dad's coloring (skin&hair) and (most of) mom's facial features. We can see Rosalind's elegantly hooked nose and upturned mouth on both of them, and they both have her blue eyes, though I messed around with FX makeup and gave the girl's eyes a violetish undertone as a nod to her father. Speaking of her father, she also seems to have gotten Gabriel's sharp cheekbones, whereas the brother ended up being a full-on copy of Rosalind feature-wise (and in fact looks a lot like Rosalind's canon son, Phillip!) Again, A+ genetic blend on these two and I'm totally not trying to figure out how to get Rosalind to boink Gabriel in canon so they'd get an oops baby...
the rules are simple: Spell your username with songs, and then tag as many people as there are in letters.
