I'm one of those Simmers who struggles with diversity when it comes to creating Sims. No matter how hard I try I tend to end up with small variations to the same basic mold. Pretty boring! I clearly needed help to overcome this problem - at the same time, I really wanted a way to make the genetics of grandparents play a role in how my born-in-game Sims look.
I asked my BF for help since he's recently started programming and I thought maybe he'd like a project to train his skills on!
The Plumbobber is an app that can help you create more diverse Sims by random rolls - but it also has a feature that lets you save data from grandparents and parents and then add them to a roll so that maybe you end up with a new Sim with the grandmother's eye color and grandfather hair color - of course, you have to adjust in CAS since it's not a mod - just an app to help you achieve more diverse and colorful Sims. You can read more about The Plumbobber and download the BETA version here: https://onyeka001.wordpress.com/the-plumbobber/
Of course, the genetics part of the app is not based on how real genetics work - we're just Simmers, not scientists

Updated to version 1.1 - meaning it is now Windows 7 (and 8.1) compatible.
Minor bugs have been fixed and an option to add unnatural hair and eye color to random rolls has been added.
BF says he's aware but can't do anything about the annoying message - because you're right, that's all it is, There's nothing malicious in the files.
There's a guide that tells why this happens and how to fix it - short and easy to follow, BF promises!

Pressing the randomize button is surely the easier way to do the randomization but that doesn't help me with the genetics part of it
