No one knows. We just know that it is extremely bad. There is no logical reason why this should happen at all, and it is clearly a hardcoded response, as it cannot happen on ACCIDENT, so it is clearly some manner of EAxis sadism.

I suspect it happens to Eaxis sims as well as ours. They'd have to be supremely incompetent to have messed up the family trees and genetics for pre-made families as much as they have otherwise. I was looking at Desiderata valley genetics this morning because someone asked me where Pauline Aspir's brown hair came from. Mum is blonde & dad has black hair. Answer should be that Dad has a recessive gene for brown hair, but expressed=recessive for all 3. Dad's parents have black and brown hair - again - expressed=recessive for both parents. ! don't think I've screwed up Desiderata Valley....

Figures. Silly EAxis. Well, thanks for the responses. I have kept all the crap DNA around so it should be all right.
I had a fun time cleaning up Desiderata Valley. At first I thought that it didn't look too bad, and that they'd actually managed to do an okay job this time... Then I realised that a whole bunch of the spammy useless dead grandparents were missing the family tree relationships to their kids, and NONE of the dead characters had a relationship to their spouse. And the memories of the premade characters - complete mess. Most of them had a memory of growing up from baby to toddler, and one of them had a memory of two sims of a different family being abducted by aliens - which they had no memory of themselves, of course. And so on. I wonder how exactly they do put together these hoods.

Has your aspir family got messed up genetics too? no recessive genes in sight to account for Pauline's brown hair?

I fixed so many recessive genetics that I completely lost track, but yes, I do think so. The dad has brown hair recessive now, anyway, so I must've fixed it. About 99% of the characters did not have any recessive traits.
Surprisingly, both Tank and Ripp Grunt in Strangetown actually had correct recessive genetics. Buck would've, too, except he wasn't supposed to have blond hair, then, but brown. I think I gave Buzz recessive red or something.
I'm such a terrible nitpick. I wonder if I'll even play much with any of this. I just like fiddling and fixing.
Another question:
I read somewhere that resurrecting Pleasantview Bella is bad (even though she's not properly "dead"), because she has no DNA file. Sure enough, she doesn't. So what happens if I do resurrect and play her? Will the game swipe DNA from some other sim? I've bred her before in previous reincarnations of Pleasantview and the kids got the correct genetics from her (black hair, brown eyes, type 3 skin), provided I set her to not "unlinked". Will this badness happen only if I breed her, or if I bring her around at all? Can I make a new DNA for her? Am I better off making a new Bella, redirecting all memories and relationships to her, and delete the old one?
