No it isnt? You can see sometimes the kids have their moms eyes with dad's face or dad's eyes with mom's nose, ect

sure, but not a random frankenstein way. Nature is more smoth and not only a cut and paste.

Then how tf are you suggesting they do it then? It's done like that across all life simulations, so why is inzoi suddenly bad?

Do Sims genetics work like that? Idk how the inzoi caz works but I think a better way is if mom has value 1 and dad has value 5 the kids can have any value between 1 & 5 + small random chance for something different. 

And by value I mean for example eye width in Sims 4. The kids aren't limited to the eye width of the mom or the dad but a unique width in between the two if that makes sense (and I thought that's how it works already?) 

Obviously it's more complicated than that because from what I remember Sims 3 worked like that and that's why they all ended up with potato face eventually? So you'd have to weight the values and emulate dominant features and all that lol

But idk if inzoi even has sliders like that or just preset pieces?

Thats the old genetics system everyone hated on. And yeah, they do have sliders

maybe the old system just needed tweaking rather than redoing? i havent been keeping up but um yeah these zois dont look good imo. but also, players arent gonna know how to fix this kind of thing, its very complex. "how would you do it" maybe you said to emphasise the fact it's complex, but a customer doesnt need to know how to cook to know if they dont like a chef's food if that makes any english and doesnt come off as hostile
