My witch/mortal sims' baby just aged up to toddler. I thought it was funny that the baby had green fairy sparkles when it was born but when I checked the relationship panel of other family members his border was gold; indicating witch baby. So I was like, whatevs.
Now, he's got wings! He's a witch with fairy wings! Is that supposed to happen or is this a glitch?

His genealogy is: GGF-Werewolf/GGM- Fairy, GF-Witch/GM-Fairy, F-Mortal/M-Witch. Can wings show up as a recessive trait?

p.s. He has a sister who is a witch with no fairy gene expression.

hm, ive not heard this, and as i dont have supernatural i cant test it, but i know hair and eye colour can skip generations and sims can inherit things from grandparents without their parents having it, would be cool if it was like that. would also be interesting to see if the child can do fairy things as well as witch things when its older! maybe youve managed to creat a hybrid without mods?

I was under the impression the geneaology of supernatural types was from the parents only, not grandparents. So that's pretty cool and if i'm wrong I plan to overuse that from now on.

Congrats on getting the hybrid if it isn't a glitch.

Do you have any mods in your game? If so which ones?

I think that this is normal, the Genetics XML is doing this:

<kWingShapeChooseGrandparentChance value="25">
<kWingColorChooseGrandparentChance value="25">

So this chance of inheritance has come through from the Grandparent, even though the child has NO PARENT who happens to be a Fairy. I don't know if it is intended that this non-Fairy child should get this chance or not.

I do have MC and some of the flavor packs for it. I didn't know that it enables hybrids. But even so, he had to have inherited the fairy traits from his grandparent. Thanks for the info, shimrod.

Wait, just so I'm reading this right. WingColor can pass down from a grandparent EVEN if the grandchild is not a fairy? So now you've got a witch with wings that don't work? Can you imagine the grief this kid will get in school? "Ha Ha, you're an Emu. You caaan't fly".

Then, as they grow up, how will this kid ever get a date? Would you date a witch with non-functional wings?

Ea needs a remedial course in genetics. Even fruit flies don't screw up that bad.

how did you see the expression genetic of your sims
