🧬 How Genetics Work in Paralives

When two Paras have children, the child's appearance is determined by a genetics system that blends parental traits. Here's how to create beautiful, talented children.

👶 Child Appearance

  • Skin Color: Blends between parents' skin tones (can lean toward either parent)
  • Eye Color: Dominant genes (brown) are more likely; recessive genes (blue, green) can skip generations
  • Hair Color: Blends between parents' hair colors; can produce unique shades
  • Face Shape: Combines features from both parents with some randomization
  • Body Type: Influenced by parents but can vary

🧠 Trait Inheritance

  • Personality Traits: Children can inherit traits from parents (not guaranteed)
  • Talents: Children may inherit parental talents
  • Hidden Traits: Some traits can skip generations and appear in grandchildren

💡 Tips for Beautiful Children

  • Choose attractive parents: Children tend to inherit the best features
  • Match complementary features: Parents with similar face shapes produce more predictable results
  • Use the Paramaker: You can adjust children's appearance after birth
  • Save before trying for baby: Reload if you don't like the result
