Correcting the DNA of Strangetown premade characters
cristalfiona:
Yeah, thats great thanks. (bene! lol) Im presuming that now i know what each of the maxis ones are, I can find out my custom ones and change those as well if i need to?
baratron:
Hmm! Y'know, I've never even thought about how custom hair, eyes & skintones are coded. Probably because until a few weeks ago, I didn't have any sims that were using them.
OK, let me open up SimPE & look at my Sean sim - a guy who has custom everything. And of course, he was created post-Uni, so he has his DNA in the new order - gah. But at least he was made in Bodyshop, so he's homozygous for everything :).
SimSean's DNA:
6 (dtString): b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Skintone to be passed on line 1 (Custom from SimCribbling)
268435462: b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Skintone to be passed on line 2
2 (dtString): b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Expressed skintone
268435458: b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Recessive skintone
1 (dtString): 43289ad5-4a5f-4b2d-804c-38841a4f03f2 = Expressed hair colour (Crammyboy's Messy Hair - blond)
268435457: 43289ad5-4a5f-4b2d-804c-38841a4f03f2 = Recessive hair colour
3 (dtString): 3e3dd36a-42f7-3993-abec-d186355ae5f0 = Expressed eye colour (Custom from Helaene)
268435459: 3e3dd36a-42f7-3993-abec-d186355ae5f0 = Recessive eye colour
5 (dtString): brow,cheek,cheekbones,
268435461:
As you can see, the only way to be certain how the custom content matches up is to use a first generation sim from Create-A-Sim or Bodyshop - because you need the identical lines of DNA. I have no idea whether the same skintone or eyes in someone else's game would have the same number assigned to it - I'm thinking probably not. Unfortunately, the Short Messy Hair from Crammyboy is the only custom content that I'm sure of the name of - I didn't make the sim to know which actual skintone from SimCribbling or eye colour from Helaene was used.
Let's compare him to SimKasson, another sim with custom eyes & skintone but Maxis default hair.
SimKasson's DNA:
6 (dtString): b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Skintone to be passed on line 1 (Custom from SimCribbling)
268435462: b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Skintone to be passed on line 2
2 (dtString): b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Expressed skintone
268435458: b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4 = Recessive skintone
1 (dtString): 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 = Expressed hair colour (Maxis brown)
268435457: 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 = Recessive hair colour
3 (dtString): 46474682-4ab9-9837-c2e0-b9901dc182b5 = Expressed eye colour (Clear blue eyes by Echo66)
268435459: 46474682-4ab9-9837-c2e0-b9901dc182b5 = Recessive eye colour
5 (dtString): nose,mouth,eyes,ears,
268435461:
He uses the same skintone as SimSean, so he gets the same numbers in his DNA. This is hardly a surprise, but it was probably worth checking!
OK. SimLiz. Again, custom eyes & skintone but Maxis default hair:
SimLiz's DNA:
6 (dtString): ba6256f3-4790-1e3e-2013-16a4c66fc1cb = Skintone to be passed on line 1 (Custom from SimCribbling)
268435462: ba6256f3-4790-1e3e-2013-16a4c66fc1cb = Skintone to be passed on line 2
2 (dtString): ba6256f3-4790-1e3e-2013-16a4c66fc1cb = Expressed skintone
268435458: ba6256f3-4790-1e3e-2013-16a4c66fc1cb = Recessive skintone
1 (dtString): 00000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 = Expressed hair colour (Maxis black)
268435457: 00000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 = Recessive hair colour
3 (dtString): b5b12e70-4cd7-5ebe-c3d9-7c9677ac19da = Expressed eye colour (Custom by Helaene)
268435459: b5b12e70-4cd7-5ebe-c3d9-7c9677ac19da = Recessive eye colour
5 (dtString): nose,brow,cheek,jaw,

SimLiz uses a different skintone from the boys, but it's also made by SimCribbling. Sadly, it can be seen that there is no relationship between custom content made by the same creator. If you can spot a similarity between ba6256f3-4790-1e3e-2013-16a4c66fc1cb and b039c364-4ccb-089e-7dcf-f18d82a769b4, you're better at maths than me. Likewise, 3e3dd36a-42f7-3993-abec-d186355ae5f0 and b5b12e70-4cd7-5ebe-c3d9-7c9677ac19da for the two eye colours by Helaene? Nah ::).
But at least if you start with first generation sims, you'll be able to find out the relevant code numbers for each of your bits of custom content, and that'll be useful for... something :D.

just curious...do all the dna 'strands' follow the same pattern? 8-4-4-4-12?
Looks like it :). The Maxis tones and the custom ones are all doing that.
Don't ask me why, I have no idea...

thanks, someone might want to double check the light blue eyes then...it's 9-4-4-4-12...any of the standard sims have light blue eyes? none of my created sims do, they tend to have custom eyes...
and no...I didn't sit here and count every single 'strand' :)
skandelouslala:
Nice..I'm going to go fix them now. One of the reasons I haven't dealt with Strangetown in a while...didn't want to bother with the screwy genetics.
