'''Genetics''' are traits such as hair color, eye color, or skin tone that [[Sim]]s have, and can pass to their children. In ''[[The Sims]]'', genetics did not exist, and a [[baby]] that grew into a [[child]] received a randomly selected body and head [[Skin#The Sims|skin]]. Genetics were officially introduced in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. In [[Create a Sim]] for ''The Sims 2'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', once the player has made one male Sim and one female Sim, they can create a child for the couple that has the genetics of both parents. In ''The Sims 4'', player can also create a genetic child for Sims of the same gender.

;Hair
: How custom hair behaves genetically depends on whether or not it has been placed in one of the Maxis color bins. Custom hair that has been properly "binned" as black, brown, blond, or red behaves the same as Maxis hair, though it will still have the custom-content "star" in [[Create a Sim#The Sims 2|CAS]] and [[Changechange Appearanceappearance]]. Like Maxis hair, it may be randomly assigned to a Sim when his or her genetics are determined.<ref>Players should note that some custom hair uses Maxis textures and meshes for some [[Life stages#The Sims 2|life stages]]. A Sim who receives such a style may show hair of a different color than his/her genetic color until he/she reaches a stage that uses the custom mesh and textures.</ref> Each custom hair style that has not been "binned" has its own genetic code. A Sim who inherits a custom-hair gene from a parent of the same gender will receive that style.<ref name="rikul">[http://rikkulidea.livejournal.com/22152.html "E's y Science kaheic kenm - The Ultimate Sims Genetics Tutorial! Chapter 2"]. ''livejournal.com''.</ref> However, a Sim will not have custom-hair genetics unless he/she inherited them, or was given hair from the Custom bin when created in CAS, as Change Appearance does not change genetics.

===Errors===
====Broken Maxis Templatestemplates====
Two of the default [[Create a Sim#Step 3: Hair & Face|CAS]] face templates, the 21st and 25th, are not linked correctly to other ages. Instead, they are linked to the 2nd template. Sims created using these templates can pass this "brokenness" on to their descendants.<ref>[http://meetme2theriver.livejournal.com/44396.html "Oh My God It's Full Of Sims! - Borked Face Templates and Pre-Made Sims (and how to fix them!)"]. ''livejournal.com''.</ref><ref>Unlike the default versions of the 21st and 25th adult templates which are always linked the 2nd template for other ages, there are alternate versions of the 25th template which exist in the CAS Sim bin that are linked to different face templates for other ages. A version of the 25th template is used by an adult female with light skin from the CAS Sim bin which is linked to the 26th template for other ages. Another version of the 25th template is used by an adult male with light skin from the CAS Sim bin, which is linked to the 23rd template.</ref><ref>The alien face template can not be accessed in normal Create a Sim, but there is a [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9028.0.html mod] that will make it accessible.</ref><ref>The elder versions of the face templates are slightly different from the adult versions, though there is more than just a slight difference between the adult and elder female versions of the 2nd face. There's a [https://modthesims.info/d/302361 mod] that replaces the default 2nd face template for elder females, with the adult female version. However this mod does not change the faces of elder females already born in game.</ref><ref>The hidden alien face template also has a difference between some life stages. The alien ears resemble the ones from the 4th template, when used on toddlers, and male teens.</ref> There's a [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9028.0.html mod] that can fix this, but it will not affect existing Sims who use those templates.
