Line 38:
 
''CAS-created Sims, and apparently also generated adopted children, have homogeneous genes (2 brown alleles for a brown haired person for example), so we can always know their whole genome. NPCs (maids, pizza delivery person, etc.) and townies don't always have homogeneous genes, and they sometime dye their hair, so it's very hard, sometimes impossible, to know their genome. You can guess a part of it by having children with them, but a hidden recessive gene can remain hidden for generations, especially if the family has many dominant genes. Hair shape (curly, straight) is not a genetic trait."''
 
In practice, it appears that the alien skin tone is only effectively dominant over the S1 skin tone. A Sim who is A/S2, A/S3, or A/S4 may not be green, and may carry the allele for the alien skin tone as a recessive.
 
It has been noted that the [[mannequin]] skin tone, which can be accessed by using [[Create a Sim#Debug Mode|CAS debug mode]], is also dominant.
