Identical twins

Right after sims 4 came out, a sim of mine had twin boys and they were both exactly identical down to the last detail. I never had identical twins after that. Now, fast forward through the years to about two weeks ago. A sim of mine had twin girls who are exactly identical. I was ecstatic because I hadn't had identical twins in literal years. Then, one of those twin girls had twin girls. The new twin girls are identical. My question is, have they increased the chance of identical twins lately, is it more likely that they're identical because the mom was, or am I just lucky 🤣?

However, depending on the genetics of the parents, some sets may appear more identical than others. I personally have a set of triplets (2 girls and one boy) where I cannot tell the two girls apart. Both girls also look extremely similar to their dad, while the boy favors the mom.
Your experience with two sets identical twins in a rom makes me wonder if there might be a hidden gen controlling this? Genetics like that is definitely interesting

My two main sims had problems conceiving once they had their second son. I bought the fertile trait for both of them and even added the "On A Lay Line" lot trait. They finally had twin girls.
When they aged up to toddlers, both of them had the same black hairstyle and green eyes. When they aged up to children, their facial structure is similar, but their eyebrows are different. Their weight was the same but I've always gotten heavy toddlers and children (I don't know why but that's a question for another day).
Are the twin girls identical?
I can't say. I use MCCC to have 100% chance of identical twins. Only one of the Sims in my current family are slated for this, since she is my Original/Character for my Star Trek mini-series. Her first baby was identical twin boys. When they age up to Toddler, I have always taken them into CAS to make certain they are identical. And if not, and sometimes they aren't' truly identical, I choose which of the two I like the looks of better then make him a twin and delete the other one. It is possible, though that EA changed the percentages on Identicals because players want them so much.
It should be noted, however, that in RL true Identical Twins are very rare. Very Rare. I think you should consider yourself lucky. Most of my Identicals are self-manufactured, as I noted above. The Golden Triplets in my game I created, too. Just for fun. Sadly, the game is too good at deciphering each Sims' identifying code. I was hoping to have some 'fun' in that the Cantrell brothers would get their girlfriends mixed up, or that one of the triplets decided to 'mess' with them. No such luck. Oh, well …

My first set of twins were identical. They were named Cedar and Paxton. (Cedar on the right and Paxton left.) Paxton was the heir for Gen 1 of my legacy, as he was the firstborn of the twins.
The odd face he's making in this picture was because their little sister Sage (off camera) was messing with him.
Gads, I miss that family. The computer I had them on died, and I was foolish to have not backed up my saves. Got that family up to Gen 6 though. As a side note, multiples seemed to run in that family. Paxton's first kids were twins also, but not identical.
