Step 3: It's All in the Genes
Just like humans, your Sims' genetic makeup trickles down from parents to children for generations to come, so the decisions you make here will be staring back at you long after your original Sim bites the virtual dust. By clicking on the helix (the DNA icon) on the main menu, you can gain access to settings for skin tone (represented by the hand icon), eye color (the eye icon), and hair color and style (the head icon)-although hairstyles aren't what we'd call genetic traits. There's no telling which genes are recessive or dominant until your Sim procreates, but there will always be a little bit of your Sim in each future relative.

Hey, wait a minute, since when is hairstyle genetic?
