What happens to pets in The Sims after 10 generations?

I don't know about you, but I like, never  mess around with pet genetics in The Sims 4. And what I mean by that is I  never have my dogs have puppies, I don't think I've ever had kittens in The Sims 4. I don't even really make  pets in CAS all that often. Whenever my Sims have pets, I  usually adopt them in-game, like, where you pick from the menu like, a couple  pets to come meet and then you can pick them. And I usually pick like, the scariest  looking one and then just have that pet. I'm not

really so focused on like, my Sims  having a certain breed of dog or whatever, so I just don't really bother with it. But the thing is, the Create A  Sim tools for pets are so cool. I mean, we have like, a million  breeds of dog and stuff like that, but you can also completely customize like,  their coat, all the colors can be customized, and you can even literally paint  on them as much as you want. Like, the whole CAS system for pets is honestly almost better than the CAS system  for Sims, whi

ch is saying something. So this has kind of given me an idea, alright?  And it's a little bit dumb, so hear me out: what happens to pets in The  Sims after 10 generations? I did this once with human sims, like,  this sort of experiment to see what happens to The Sims after you play through 10 whole  generations, but I've never tried it with pets. Basically, I want to see like, what traits  can we get to continue on through all the generations and honestly just what happens  when you keep breedin

g random pets together in The Sims because I don't really do  that. Oh my god, that looks horrible. What have I done to this poor dog? You  know what, I need to delete you, I'm sorry. But real quick, I want to tell you a little  bit about today's sponsor, Secret Cat Forest. This game is so cute, okay, look at this. There are two cats in my house. Basically, Secret Cat Forest is a really, really  chill relaxing adorable mobile game. It's really easy to play, you basically just collect fish and  w

ood for your cats and then throughout the day, different cats will show up and visit you and  you can try and build relationships with them. The game's in real time so  the idea is that you'd pop in from time to time and like, see who's visiting. There are dozens of adorable cats,  there are super cute animations, the whole game is beautiful, and I just  love a good cozy, relaxing game like this. And the first 200 of you that download  the game and enter the code lilsimsie are gonna get 2,000 wo

od and four cans of fish  in-game, you're welcome for the head start. Seriously, this game is so cute, and I think  you're gonna love it, so I'll have a link down below to download it, and thanks again to  Secret Cat Forest for sponsoring this video. Okay, so here's my plan: I say we start  off with the first pet being like, the most dog-looking dog you can imagine. Like, a lab or something, right,  like, just the most standard dog-dog. I don't know if the random colors  like, pass down generati

ons though. And then for the other dog -- oh my. For the other dog, I'm just gonna  randomize it a couple times. I want one that has like, a sort of  interesting coat, maybe even like, a dalmatian. And then I want to change that coat to be like,  a kind of funky color like pink or something. Because what I want to see is how these traits  pass down because I don't even know if the pink will pass down at all, I really have no idea how  that works so I'm kind of curious to find out. That's a kind

of scary looking  dog, I won't lie to you. Okay, well. Then the idea is that we would randomize their  puppy and then have that puppy do it again, right? I'm gonna randomize three times  and just take what it gives me. One, oh my, wow. Two, okay. Three. Now where did that come from? You  see, this is what I don't understand. I mean I guess you got the eye color and  a little bit of shape from the pink dog, but you look nothing like either of those parents. Fine, whatever, fine, fine. We already

lost the  pink, so that's good. Maybe I'll throw in like, a Rottie this time, but I'll  make the Rottie have pink. I want the pink back! Okay, I'm gonna breed these two  together then to get our gen three dog. Ready, one, two, there. Pink! Oh, you look -- wow, a lot  like that -- see, it's so different. This is the thing, the genetics make no sense. When you have like, a litter  of puppies in The Sims, you'll get three dogs that look  like that different from each other. Okay, so here was the ne

xt parent  and then here is the next baby. It looks a lot like the Rottie,  but it has kind of a thinner face. I'm just gonna get a random dog  this time, I'm not gonna like, pick it, I'll just take what it  gives me, so we'll have this one. And I'll have them have  babies and see what happens. Oh my god, there's so many random  dogs. The puppies are so cute. Okay, we randomize three times. Ready? One, that looks the same! You see, that's like,  identical to the parent. Are you kidding? One, two

. Ooh, that one's interesting. And three, the dog we get is -- oh. Why is its neck so long? Look at it when it sits down. It has a  really big face, that's the Rottie in it. Okay, can I delete Stanley?  Does it let me? Oh, I can. What if we threw a small dog into the mix? How  does that impact things? This one looks really similar to the gen 4 dog though, so I'm curious  like, how that's gonna impact what happens. Oh my god, the puppies are so cute, but you see, like, they get this random  color

ing, comes out of nowhere. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them  like, randomly turned blue or something. Okay, ready, we randomize three times. One, two, three. That's the same. That is the  same as the gen four dog, wait a minute. It's literally the exact  same -- do you even spot the difference? Oh, it's -- okay, its nose  is a little bit smaller. Their faces are a little bit different. Huh,  but the coloring is like, exactly the same. Huh, okay, curious, very curious. All right, how about

a poodle this  time because the poodle is also pink, and I'm trying to bring it back. I'm curious if the pink like, actually  would translate to -- oh my god. Oh no, all right, please don't  give me anything like that. I was gonna say, I'm curious if  the pink would actually like, go down through the generations, but we'll see. Ready, we randomize three times:  one, two, and our final dog is... Three. Pink! I actually really like you, this  one's cool. I'm glad we got the pink back, and you know

what, this one kind of looks  like the original sim. Eh, not that much, but like, kind of shape-wise a little. I was hoping we could get some poodle in  us, but that's all right, I'll get over it. What is that? That looks kind of scary. Should I just breed with this one? It's like, a husky mix or something, but it's  not a breed, it's a mixed breed. Oh, the puppies are so cute, I could cry. All right, all right, let's breed with  gen six, let's see what we got, all right. One, that looks the sa

me. Two, oh, that one's cute. And three. That's like, the same thing but smaller,  I really like this one actually, that is a really cute dog. No offense, but  you're a lot cuter than your parent was. All right, my household is getting  kind of full so I'm gonna save these. Oh wow, that is quite the family. I'm gonna just save these to my library so I don't  lose them, and then I'm gonna delete a couple. I might delete a couple of the like, middle  ones because I'll wanna compare like, the origi

nal generations to the later ones. Ooh, what are you? Let's do a small  dog again. What if we got like, one of these because that one has a  really, really distinct face shape. I'm curious how that would breed into my family. Oh my god, I know I keep saying  it, but the puppies are so cute. See, this doesn't look  anything like either of them, genetics are so weird in this game,  look at how small its little head is! What the heck? Okay, well  let's just keep randomizing. One, still tiny head. T

wo, three. You're the same. You're literally  the same as the other parent. How -- it's like, the Bull  Terrier wasn't even involved. Here's the gen 7 dog, here's  the gen 8 dog. Obviously like, they have a different fur and  everything, but they're so similar. Oh my gosh, okay, what is that? Oh, okay, this is what I was hoping  I would get, is dogs like this. Maybe I'll breed this one with my  dog. The CAS is lagging, it's scary. Uh-oh, uh-oh, oh! Look at -- see, look at that one,  why can't I

get stuff like that? Oh my god, that's how it looks when it's  older? That's how that puppy looks older? Yeesh, okay, let's randomize. One, I don't want something like  that, give me something funner. Two, better. And three, what do we got? Give me the fun stuff! I'm trying to get the fun  traits. All three of these dogs look the same. That's the gen 9 dog. Ugh! Okay, this is our last shot. I might pick  something like this Australian Shepherd or maybe the corgi. Here's what I want, I like the 

spots, I want like, some more color in the fur. What if we did something like this? What  if we use this one as the final partner? It won't make a difference, I mean  the dog's not gonna look like this. Why is it lagging so much? Oh! Look at it as a puppy. Okay, come on, this is the tenth generation,  give me something I can work with. One, two, oh, all right. And three. You know what, that's  different. I really appreciate that. That is what happens to pets  after 10 generations. Oh my god, the

way we got like, three of the  same dog in a row as well. So weird. I mean, this one is so similar  to the gen 8 one. It's just like, a really slight variation in their  head shape and their nose I guess. Their eyes are different too, but then you  come back to number 10 and it looks like this, compared to the number one dog. The dog-dog who looks like that. Can you believe this one  is descended from this lab? Okay, I realize this experiment is  dumb and makes absolutely no sense, I'm just rea

lly curious about this kind of thing. The same kind of goes for the  Sims, like, the human Sims, it doesn't really like, blend their genetics  together, you won't get like, a mix per se. A lot of times what you'll get is like, oh, mom's fur color, but dad's nose shape, and  it just puts like, a mishmash together. So for example with this one, I honestly  don't know where the head shape came from, but we got like, this weird head shape, but  like, the wacky coat and then the smoother fur texture

that this one has, you know, and  then it kind of just mixes them together. And then honestly probably just mixes some random, I mean it looks like I've got a rat  tail, literally, like, a rat's tail. This is not a dog, it looks like a rat and  I say that with love, this is not normal. You know, I'd put a picture  of a rat on the screen, but I don't know if I should do  that because it's kind of gross. Just take my word for it,  okay, this looks like a rat. Oh no, this is fine, hang on, look, lo

ok, look. Rat. I'm telling you, it is the exact same thing. I feel like we'd probably have a  similar result if we did it with cats. I did it with dogs first because I thought  it would be more interesting to have like, the more variation in size because obviously  all the cats are pretty much the same size. They do have way different fur though, but the  cats are all small whereas the dogs can be like, you know, giant or a little tiny weeny dog, so. Ew, stop. We start with like, the most  cat-l

ooking cat, like, a brown tabby. I have a brown tabby cat,  mine has white paws though. I love that you can paint them, it's so much fun and it like, automatically mirrors,  but you can turn off the mirroring. Oops. So say like, your cat only has one white paw,  you can paint it that way, isn't that so fun? I really should work on this more, I should like, mess with the the pet Create A Sim tools  more because I don't give it enough credit. I'm just not good enough, like, I don't know  how to do

it and make it look realistic. It's frozen, oh my god, that was scary. I wonder if we tried to breed like, a big  floofy orange cat with that one because those two look very different. You see, this  one has the same coloring as the floofy cat, but it's got the same fur  texture as the brown cat. This one is the opposite, where we  put like, the brown on the floofy cat. And that one just changed its ears. That's more of a middle ground,  see that's better I feel like, that's more what I was loo

king for  when it came to the randomizing. And that one is just the same thing as  the first cat with different eyes, like. Ugh, I don't know. Genetics in The  Sims is very, very interesting. This video was very fun for me to record, I like just messing around in CAS  sometimes, I don't do it very often. And I especially don't do it with cats, like, when do you ever mess -- I  mean, maybe you do, I just don't. When do you ever mess around with this  stuff? There's so many fun things for pets in

this game that I just don't bother  doing, and it lets me paint on them. Why don't I use this tool more? Look at that! Oh, oh no. Anyway, with that being  said, I'm probably gonna go. Make sure you check out the one that  I did about human Sims and like, their genetics, I can link that for you. If you want to download Secret Cat Forest,  I've got a link down below, and the first 200 people to download the game and use the code  lilsimsie will get a bunch of resources in-game. All right, that's a

ll I got for you  today, thank you for watching and um, I'll catch you all tomorrow. I am just going to sit here and keep painting  this cat by the way, this is kind of fun. I'm curious, in the comments could you tell me  if you actually use the custom tools for pets? Like, do you ever use the paint tool? I'm sure a lot of you do, but like,  does the average player ever like, delve into this at all? I'm not sure. Because I certainly don't. [ JAZZY OUTRO MUSIC ]
