@MissSassy you think Carla will get the chin - what makes you so sure? Haha my RL cats thankfully aren't great mousers as I like mice.
Juliet's chin as a child:
Alina's chin as a child:
I reckon Alina's chin sticks out more.
Her chin looks a lot like the ones from Donald, Juliet, Annabeth
Oh now I see it. Hm, I wonder why it’s pointier (more pointy?) than Juliet‘s chin because ts4 genetics only use the parents‘ genes 🤔 (I’ve read this somewhere)
@MissSassy you have a good eye! I’ll have to keep an eye on Carla.
I think that although children only inherit their parents’ features, those features can be slightly larger or smaller than their parents’ were. Maybe that explains the chin? Alternatively, maybe Melanie and Juliet together just are a weird chin
I feel like I can really see it now in Alina. The pictures of her with Mayor Whiskers, you can not only see the large chin on her little bobble head, but the really pronounced jaw line as well.
I'm wondering if the cat won't chase the mouse because he's a ghost. Maybe it needs to be a ghost mouse?
@chluke75 ouch! I’ll be sure to let Alina know how beautiful you think she’s going to grow up to be hehe ghost mice - that would be awesome! You may have a point about Mayor W being a ghost. Or maybe Cats need to have the hunter trait to actually chase the mice?
Shanice worked hard for that body, she SHOULD show it off (even if she is a granny now). Lucas may look a little goofy, but he's really lost a lot of chin. How closely do you plan to follow the rest of the family as it continues to grow throughout these generations? Alina & Skye are too cute together.
@chluke75 you’re right, Lucas is a big improvement on Annabeth! His face is a lot smaller, too. I was thinking about whether I’m going to follow Annabeth’s line. The problem is that she’s has three kids and if they each have three kids and so on it will become a mammoth task! Maybe I let each of Lucas, Carla and Skye have one child each or something like that.
@Snookat thank you it is a really fun challenge - I’d highly recommend it!
@MaggieMarley I can definitely see how quickly it could get out of hand. Especially if you're trying to be hands off, you never know just how big the other families could get. There would come a point for me where I wouldn't even know who was related anymore. I could end up marrying second cousins...
So sad to hear Donald has passed But we'll (hopefully) see him as a ghost again!
The selfie the girls took, well, does anyone else see the panic in their eyes? Panic because deep down they know how they will look like as teens? Oh, and Alina held the phone upside down lol
Sims with high fitness skills usually live longer, too. I guess the combination of this and her aspiration reward causes Shanice's long life span
@chluke75 haha I hope I won’t end up marrying distant cousins back into the family - talk about breeding in the ugly
@MissSassy I can’t believe I just noticed that about the phone! I wonder if that was a glitch or an intentional feature? Hehe they should be worried... Sor far in this family, puberty has not been kind. I didn’t know that high fitness skill also increased longevity! I don’t often have fitness freak sims, so that’s interesting to finding out.
I notice that once again, Mayor Whiskers is ignoring his catly duties and letting the pigeons just prance about the place.
Alina has definitely changed in unexpected ways, though she has kept a few of Juliet's more appealing traits. I feel bad for Sky though. It's as if she took a step backwards.
Out of curiosity, what generator are you using to randomize your traits & aspirations?
Phew! All caught! It's been a 'mare of a week... So glad it's Friday...
Wow! Breeding out the ugly is coming along really well - not too much that the challenge is over and done with too quickly, but enough to give you hope for each generation! And like @MissSassy, I can really see the typical Villareal genes in Alina as a teen - hurray for the chin minus underbite!
And Dexter Fyres
And Mayor Whiskers is far too dignified to be lowering himself to chasing your common or garden weirdly blocky pigeons - he obviously has far more important mayorly things to do...
@SeaDragonSong thank you! It’s slow going, but we’re getting there
@MissSassy I’m glad someone else appreciates Alina’s special brand of beauty! I’m with you on Dexter’s name - it’s very cool. I always appreciate your comments (long or short) so thank you for taking the time Good luck with your presentation!
@loubyloulou seeing Alina as a teenager has really gave me hope that I will one day complete this challenge just the abnormal head size and weird mouth left to breed out now. You’re right, Mayor Whiskers is too busy running Brindleton Bay to stoop to the level of chasing pigeons!
I keep confusing myself when I read the date in the title, probably cuz I'm American. was like wow it's still September? I thought we just did Halloween. . . anyway! Alina looks great! she's definitely another step in the right direction. she's rather cute! and she's inherited a rather model-like body. I think her waistline puts even Candy Behr to shame.
@littlemissgogo oops I’m sorry I’m English, so it’s just default for me to type the date day/month/year - I think most people here are American, so I will try to remember to write it month/day/year from now on!
Alina does have a good body! I think Alina inherited Juliet’s bodyshape and Juliet got Shanice’s bodytype. At least our work is all done there.

oh no worries! I'm just easily confused (my very special quirk) is all. glad Alina turned out better than expected. I'm excited to see what she & Dexter end up making if/when he comes her "chosen!"

Alina inherited Melanie's chin and the combination with the Belle jaw will look very interesting to say the least
That's what I think, anyway. I like making a habit of investigating sim genetics

Oooh, Dexter is nice. And that name is amazing
Sorry for the short comment this time. I'm exhausted from working on my presentation... Still not done -.-

was I right about that chin?
woot woot
Also Dexter is a babe and I need him in my game immediately

@afai1261 you were totally right about the chin! I bow to your superior knowledge of sim genetics Your wish is my command lol - I uploaded a YA version of Dexter to the gallery (he’s a teen in my game, though): https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/6B748D18E45411E884F9526B46B29011?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=Thisisarealpainx&max=50&maxis=false
