Alexander Goth/theories

While Cassandra at least has genetics from Bella, Alexander doesn't appear to have any of his parents' genetics (more obvious when he gets older). Why is this? Post your theories here.

Theories
Yes, Alexander looks NOTHING like his parents, I agree. But, I do have to admit, he looks a bit like Victor. And in Mortimer's memories, it doesn't say that Alexander was adopted. Though, he has a lot of Mortimer's genetics. He has Mortimer's hair color, and his skin tone, and eyes. But, we don't really know, the Goth family has passed on many generations that EA wouldn't let us play. They are screwing with our heads, they want us to wonder. But really, what is there to wonder ? EA has the power to do anything. It's their game, but if we want to adopt kids or make our sims missing, or kill them off, EA should leave that in OUR control. They leave out all the fun. Oddly, the gypsy said Buzz and Crystal were meant to be, so sorry Lazlo. She is pregnant right now with Buzz, so I'll just wait and see what the kid looks like. Alexander,no matter how hard it is to believe, is not adopted. If you grow him up, get him married, and have him make babies, you can totally tell he's Bella and Mort's kid. In my game he a had a daughter whom looked EXACTLY, like Bella as a young adult and an adult. It's just he inherited more genes from his grandparents then he did his parents.
 * I think that Alexander is actually adopted! Because one of the Maxis people had accidentaly ordered a adoption and thinking that there is no way to get rid of him to hack their memories to make them his biological son which isnt hard to do in the first place
 * EA abvouslty LOVES messing with us, right? Well, if thats true, then I agree with the one above. It could happen that a Moritmor could've adopted Alexander. A women with blond hair and green eyes could adopt a little girl with blond hair and green eyes. Its simple. Either that or the person who made Alexander was being sloppy and accidently made it that way.
 * HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE VICTOR!!! Gosh, people, Victor Goth and Alexander Goth look NOTHING alike. Victor has a totally different face. Alexander is probably naturally ugly, although in the Sims that isn't possible.
 * He has the same face as Gunther and Frida. If you look closely, they look similar! In my opinion at least. He isn't "ugly", he just has Goopy's face.:-)
 * He couldn't have been adopted because having babies and adopting babies results in two different memories, and Mortimer's claims he "had" Alexander. So he's not adopted. I think, maybe, he messed up his face somehow (I blame bullies, after all, Alexander is a bit of a nerd). There, i think that might be it.
 * i have 2 theories... 1.when you create a female in create a sim with... for example big lips and then change it to a male the lips are bigger... things seem to be bigger on the males and smaller on the females so alexander is probably just a male version of bella except with mortimer's hair and skin... 2.and also alexander has big lips... and so does gunther Jace12 23:32, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I Think, The Goth Men get better looking with age. First of all, because Mortimer looks like Alexander, as a child in the Sims3 (Just a emo side, basically!). So, that's my theorie, oh and he's not adopted, but if doesnt look like mortimer as a child then, he might get the genetics from his uncle's or ancestors.
 * I don't think he looks like either of his parents (he's so ugly, and looks nothing like Mortimer or Bella), but I don't think he was adopted, Mortimer's memories show otherwise. I think Mortimer used to look like Alexander, but Bella urged him to get a Plastic Surgery. He did, and when they had their son, he still carried on Mortimer's genetics, even though Mortimer didn't have them anymore.
 * Why does this page even exist? It's just a genetic throwback or maybe the developers messed him up accidentily. And anyway in Bella's Memories, that this makes any difference, she remembers giving birth to Alexander. MJ567 05:16, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just can't believe Alexander was adopted. I mean, he got his hair from Mortimer! And I think he kinda looked like Bella. Face only. But if he is adopted, why would Mortimer do that and when????
 * It's simple. He was adopted.
 * I think he is adopted. He looks a little like Mortimer, I guess, but black-haired brown-eyed people can adopt black-haired brown-eyed children. It doesn't make much sense that Alexander would be Bella's son. Her dark skin is the dominant gene, right? I made a family where the father had the same skin color as Bella and the mother was very fair-skinned, and almost all of their children had dark skin. And they adopted a kid that looked kind of like them, but with blue eyes. I definitely think it's possible for Alexander to be adopted. Sparrowsong 21:34, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * This doesn't make any sense sense. Alexander gets his father's hair and his mother eyes. Plus Alexander has a mixture of his parents skintone. Another thing is that in Mortimer's memories he "had" Alexander so he couldn't have adopted him. Case closed. I think this page is useless. ArchieAndrewfan3001 22:01, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Among the premade Sims, there are lots of Sims that don't look like their parents. Just take a look at Beau Broke when he gets older - he doesn't look much like Brandi or Skip. Neither does Dustin, for that matter, although with him it's slightly less noticeable. Don Lothario doesn't look like his mother at all, although he does sort of resemble his father. Cassandra also doesn't look like either of her parents; if you look at facial templates, you'll find her face is actually closer to Kaylynn Langerak, but with different eyes. A notable exception are Angela and Lilith Pleasant, who do look like their parents. Also, in Veronaville - do any of the Montys look like they're descended from Patrizio and Isabella, and does Cordelia Capp really look like she's Consort and Contessa's daughter? In Strangetown, Erin Singles looks nothing like her brother Loki, and neither of them look like their parents. Pascal, Vidcund, Lazlo and Jenny look nothing like each other (except Pascal and Lazlo), and hardly anything like their parents. Premade Sims were essentially created and then had memories added to them. Also, they almost always have two identical alleles of any gene - go ahead and pair up Lazlo Curious and Crystal Vu, and see if they ever have a blonde baby. The only exceptions to that rule that I've found are Romeo Monty and Juliette Capp in Veronaville, who had a blonde daughter in my game.
 * Alexander Goth has his Father's Hair and he resembles his Mother slightly but some other Sims Children do not look like their parents. Bella dose not look much like her Father in Sims 3 their is no noticable resbiances.
 * I agree with another poster. It was probably a genetic throwback. The real mystery? How he wrote a book 50 years before he was borm? I know exactly why...
 * Why do people think that Alexander doesn't look like his parents? Mortimer and Bella have both brown eyes and black hair, and he inherits his skintone from Mortimer.
 * The strange facial features could be from the DNA of his ancestors, he could have around 1/8 of the DNA from his great-grandparents, not to mention the 1/4 of DNA he has from his Grandparents, I'd say the game developers (Maxis) went for a more biological result when creating the families (the faces would be altered) to have some of the features of the ancestors.
 * God, have you people even studied genetics? Bella's gene could be dominant, but in real life ressesive genes could hide for generations and generations, then one day a parent gives it up. As with the blonde's, I once had a pair of sims- one brown haired, one blonde- and they had a brown haired baby. The brown haired baby grew up and married a man with black hair, and their baby had brown hair. This baby grew up and married another blonde man, and their child was blonde. Now this child grew up and married a brown haired woman, and their baby was black haired. Alex got DNA from previous generations.
 * Either Bella has had an affair or Alexander is the result of an alien experiment before Bella was abducted. Gallifrey102 12:32, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alexander was adopted. Sorry if we already know it's false, I don't have TS2. UBFunkaneer 00:16, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * well his page says that he looks more like victor goth, which is for me true, so i guess he really looks like his great grandfather more than his parents
 * There is a chance that he just doesn't look like his parents. You know he gets like his more noticble facial features from his mom (They change because hes a boy) and smaller features from his dad like eye or hair color.
 * Dang, Sims players will theorize over every little petty thing, won't they? Some people just don't look like their parents. Period. That happens all the time in real life, and especially in The Sims. I can't even count the number of times I've had a kid born in the game that ended up looking nothing like the parents. And yet we've got people here coming up with adoption and Bella having an affair (even though Mortimer and Bella both have memories of giving birth to Alex). The lack of lives the majority of Sims players tend to have sometimes makes me embarrassed to be one.
