Title: First-Born Effect
Post by: Torkle on 2006 April 08, 00:29:42
I beleive that the First-Born Effect has changed with OFB.  Now, the first birth immediately after game start will have the following personality most of the time: Dad's neat, outgoing, and active, a 4 for playful, and a 9 for nice.

Data from experiments:
Dad 5/5/5/5/5 + Mom 5/5/5/5/5 = Baby 5/5/5/4/9
Dad 5/5/5/5/5 + Mom 7/2/7/2/7 = Baby 5/5/5/4/9
Dad 7/2/7/2/7 + Mom 5/5/5/5/5 = Baby 7/2/7/4/9
Dad 10/8/2/0/6 + Mom 1/3/5/7/9 = Baby 10/8/2/4/9
Dad 7/5/7/5/7 + Mom 6/6/6/6/6 = Baby 7/5/7/4/9

Exceptions so far:
Dad 1/3/5/7/9 + Mom 10/8/2/0/6 = Baby 1/3/8/7/9 (Expected 1/3/5/4/9)
Dad 9/9/9/9/9 + Mom 10/10/10/10/10 = Baby 9/8/9/0/9 (Expected 9/9/9/4/9)

The exceptions are where the expected results are below 25 or above 35 total character points.

Anyone care to validate or refute this?

I noticed you didn't feed in any mean sims. What happens if you feed mean sims into the thing?

If the sum of the father's neat, outgoing, and active is higher than 11 (which is probable if they have few nice points), then the expected result is still dad's neat, dad's outgoing, dad's active, a 4 for playful, and a 9 for nice.

My next run is to try the low end with dad at 0/0/0/0/0 and mom at 1/1/1/1/1.  I'll let you know the results.
