As with most of our in-game systems, genetics are widely moddable. You can add, remove, or modify any trait category that supports genetic inheritance, set up the sliders you want inherited (or not), and more.
Some examples of applications could be:
• Create a new alien species with green and grey skin tones (with green as the dominant color)
• Make “unnatural” colors (like bright pink eyes or blue skin) inheritable
• Add new accessories, like devil horns or Shrek ears, and make them inheritable too (pretty sure Shrek ears would be a dominant trait, in my scientific opinion)
Do you have any other ideas for genetic traits that you would like to mod in Paralives?
There are many little details we are still working on to make the most believable and good-looking children Paras, but I hope you enjoyed this little tour of the genetics system to date!
That’s it for me!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Anna
