Do you suppose that if I created a YA Sim in CAS, then created his parents with Genetics, deleted the original YA Sim and then de-aged the parents to YA, that they would get pregnant with and have the Sim that I originally created in CAS?

So, you're saying the parents would look like siblings rather than two different parents? But why wouldn't that end up giving me someone that was extremely similar to my original Sim? Or am I misunderstanding you?

Ok. I'll have to play with the genetics thing, then to see if how the parents actually look, I guess. I mean there's that whole joke about married couples starting to look alike over time but that wouldn't be very helpful for making them young again to have a kid, LOL.

Okay, I think I understand a little better what you're getting at now but it's definitely not something I can answer. I haven't seen anything about genetics in creator's camp stuff which I've been focusing on. I did see the one genetics video for IGN (? - I don't remember exactly) but it seemed to just touch the surface on the various options.
I'm excited to try out the new genetics features Hope someone else is able to help you out!
Haha, but yeah you'll have to play with the features or else they'll look like siblings.
Yeah, I was thinking that but then I'm not sure if it would actually mess up the possibility of getting my original Sim back in the game (which, admittedly seems like a pretty slim possibility anyway). I guess, if all else fails, I can always create a YA Sim, create his parents, and then de-age everyone until my YA is a child. Not quite what I was thinking of but it would work alright, as well. Eh, just something I was contemplating when considering different games I wanted to play.
Thanks for responding.

So, that's a big, fat no, isn't it? XD
This what I was thinking. Which means, as Nik pointed out, it's unlikely I would get exactly the same sim. Kind of a bummer but not unsurprising. It seemed like my idea might be a bit too detailed to work in a video game like I was thinking. I mean, that would be some pretty advanced genetics, I suppose.

See, you posted in the other genetics thread that Zerbu created about how you do something (I didn't actually follow what it was you were doing) and it confused me there, too.
So, why would they have to be twins for it to work? If I'm understanding correctly, I would create a Sim then create a male twin of the Sim and a female twin of the original Sim, change all of their relationships so they aren't related any more, delete the original Sim, make the two "twins" married and have them get pregnant. Is that what you're saying? If so, why would that work better than just creating parents? Is it because the twin function will make them look more like the original Sim so when they have an offspring, the baby is more likely going to look like the original?
I'm beginning to think it's not worth it. XD Though I do appreciate everyone giving input on the idea.

I think I've tried this before in a prior game because I didn't like the way the kids were coming out, but it didn't work.
Yeah, I'm kind of realizing that I was expecting a bit too much from the "new" genetics. XD
