Hey guys!

This is my third time running the Genetics Contest, where your only task is to attempt to guess what the genetics of the final sim will be!

If you're curious about my previous contests, see:
Genetics Contest- http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/562631.page#9037932
Genetics Contest 2- http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/596748.page#9575074

I ask that even if you did this before, you read all the instructions- there are some changes this time around!

Also, a warning: I am pretty busy, so I'm not going to make any promises about how fast this contest will go. But you have no obligation to even follow the thread once you enter (though I hope you want to!) so I hope that won't be an issue for anyone. I won't take as long to finish the contest as I did the second one I hosted, and I'm aiming for 1-3 updates per week, but I just don't want anyone to be disappointed if this takes longer than expected.

How this will work:
1. I have created 16 sims, who you will see screenshots of in a post below.
2. I purposely made it so that I used 8 different skin tones, 8 different eye colors, and 16 different hair colors.
3. Additionally, this version of the contest is all about the supernaturals!! So each sim is also one of four kinds of supernaturals: a vampire, werewolf, fairy, or witch!
4. I will use an online randomizer to pair up my sims into 8 couples, and each couple will have one child.
5. Those 8 children will be aged up to YA and once again paired up into couples to have one child each.
6. This will continue until the end of the contest, when there will be one remaining descendant of all 16 sims.

I usually split the sim couples into two couples per house (the most I can fit in one house while leaving room for babies) and then I share updates on the thread that show what happened in each house during the pregnancies- I don't control the sims myself, but as you can see from the previous contests those houses can get pretty crazy!

Your job:

You may be wondering what your role in all this is. Well, your job is to try to guess which skin tone, eye color, and hair color will be present in the final sim which is descended from all 16 sims, as well (and this is special to this version of the contest) which supernatural the final sim will be!

As genetics are very random in this game, you don't really have much to go on when you choose. Maybe go with a hunch, the color you like the best, the supernatural you have the most fun with, something that has personal significance for you, or perhaps (if you're the last person to sign up) whatever is left over. Just remember to choose ONE eye color, ONE hair color, TWO skin tones, and ONE supernatural type when you sign up, as shown in the official form in this post. You pick two skin tones because unlike other genetics, skin tones don't skip generations. Once none of the remaining sims have it, there's no chance it could return. Since it works like that, and I have 8 possible skin tones that I want to use, I feel it's fair to let you guys pick two.

NOTE: If you really, really think a certain skin tone is going to win for some reason, you can take 2 spots for it instead of picking 2 different skin tones. Assuming at least 2 spots are left, that is. If your skin tone ends up winning, you would receive double the points (25 simpoints for guessing the skin tone right, 50 simpoints for having two spots in it and guessing it right). Check the prize chart for how much that increases if you guess other genetics correctly as well.

I'm aware that some skin tones/eye colors look very similar on certain sims, or don't look exactly the same on different supernaturals (notably vampires). I promise I can tell the difference in CAS.

The Form:

Please use the form below. Remember to look at the list of options and note how many spots are left before you pick. You can't pick an option that says (CLOSED) next to it!

Remember that you are picking two skin tones, so you must list two (or the same skin tone twice, if that's what you'd like). If you pick an option that closed off before I could update the thread, I'll ask you to pick something new. I suggest that you check back to make sure you got your choice/don't have to pick something new. If you're not sure/the option you're picking has very few spots left, you may want to put a second choice just in case (stating which is first choice and which is second choice).

Please use the exact name I gave the option, if you deviate from that I may have trouble understanding which option you want!

Username:

Skin Tone 1: Red Skin (only option left)

Skin Tone 2: Red Skin (only option left)

Eye Color: Pink (only option left)

Hair Color: Brown with Red Streaks (this is the only option left)

Supernatural Type: Werewolf (this is the only option left)

The Options:

Skin Tone-
Normal Skin Tone 1: CLOSED
Normal Skin Tone 2: CLOSED
Normal Skin Tone 3: CLOSED
Pink Skin: CLOSED
Grey Skin: CLOSED
Red Skin: CLOSED
Orange Skin: CLOSED

Prizes:

There will be 8 winners from supernatural type, 8 winners from skin tone (potentially less if one or more people correctly guess the winning skin tone twice), 4 winners from eye color, and 2 winners from hair color.

If for some reason the final eye or hair color is a random one that wasn't any of the original choices (as sometimes happens in the genetics of this game) then there will be a lottery to choose the winners for that category.

If you correctly guess the supernatural type, you will win... 25 simpoints (8 winners)
If you correctly guess the skin tone, you will win... 25 simpoints (8 winners)
If you correctly guess the eye color, you will win... 50 simpoints (4 winners)
If you correctly guess the hair color, you will win... 100 simpoints (2 winners)

If you correctly guess skin tone twice, you will win... 50 simpoints (bonus 25 sp)
if you correctly guess skin tone and supernatural type, you will win... 75 simpoints (bonus 25 sp)
If you correctly guess skin tone and eye color, you will win... 100 simpoints (bonus 25 sp)
If you correctly guess supernatural type and eye color, you will win... 100 simpoints (bonus 25 sp)
If you correctly guess skin tone twice and supernatural type, you will win... 125 simpoints
If you correctly guess skin tone twice and eye color, you will win... 150 simpoints
If you correctly guess skin tone and hair color, you will win... 175 simpoints (bonus 50 sp)
If you correctly guess supernatural type and hair color, you will win... 175 simpoints (bonus 50 sp)
If you correctly guess skin tone, supernatural type, and eye color, you will win... 200 simpoints (bonus 100 sp)
If you correctly guess skin tone twice and hair color, you will win... 225 simpoints
If you correctly guess eye color and hair color, you will win... 225 simpoints (bonus 75 sp)
If you correctly guess skin tone twice, supernatural type, and eye color, you will win... 250 simpoints
If you correctly guess skin tone, supernatural type, and hair color, you will win... 250 (bonus 100 sp)
If you guess correctly in skin tone, eye color, and hair color, you will win... 300 simpoints (bonus 125 sp)
If you correctly guess supernatural type, eye color, and hair color, you will win... 300 simpoints (bonus 125 sp)
If you correctly guess skin tone twice, supernatural type, and hair color, you will win... 325
If you guess correctly in eye color and hair color and guess skin tone twice, you will win... 375 simpoints
If you guess correctly in all categories, you will win... 500 simpoints (bonus 300 sp)
If you guess correctly in all categories, and you guessed skin tone twice, you will win... 650 simpoints (and my complete amazement!)

That means the prize pool will be based on how many people win and how they win.

I know this is all a bit confusing, I promise I'll add it all up for you when winners are determined.

Questions?

If you have any questions, please let me know! :D


A Thank You:


I was rereading my very first genetics contest and realized that anettesb was actually the first to suggest doing this game with Supernaturals! That was back before I had Supernatural, so I couldn't do it then. I wasn't even thinking about that when I created the theme, but it's likely the idea was there because anette had suggested it so long ago, and she always has supported the use of pointed ears and supernatural characters!!!

So thank you SO MUCH, anette, for coming up with this idea and being so supportive throughout all of the genetics contests!! :)

    The Original 16 First Generation Sims

    Note: Some sims may not look like their eyes/skin are the color I say they are. I promise you, I checked and double checked this. Based on skin tone, make up, and supernatural type, it can sometimes be hard to tell what their actual eye color is, so trust what I wrote down :)

    Sure, of course you can! You need to pick one more skin tone though- I'm sorry if that's a bit confusing, you pick one of everything else and then two skin tones (or the same skin tone twice if you want to hedge all your bets on the one).

    Haha, yes! But not today! They're all sims I've created before, and most of them have been in my studio for some time. But I did modify most of them heavily for the purpose of having different colors, and most of them weren't supernaturals before either :)
