====First born effect====
{{Main|First-Born Syndrome}}
''The Sims 2'' is subject to what is known as the "first born effect"/ "first born syndrome"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzk-EyPeQOo</ref>, in which all single children born in a family have the same genetics. This happens because the randomizer which affects Sim genetics always starts at the same point each time the game is started. The "first born effect" can be mitigated during a game session by going into CAS and clicking on the "Randomize" button several times, as this seems to "shake up" the randomizer. It is not necessary to save the random Sims that are generated. The Lot Debugger, or "Batbox", available from [[More Awesome Than You]], has a feature that essentially automates this process.<ref>See [[Game guide:FFS Lot Debugger options#Rerandomize Sim Generator]].</ref>
