Here's the deal.

In Create-a-Sim I often create parents--and even grandparents--so the Sim I have in mind has a nice variety going in their gene pool. That way a brunette Sim can pass on blond or red-haired genes to her children. Two brown-haired Sims can have a blond or red-haired child.

No such option when you do Create-a-Student in University. You create a brunette, all she's going to contribute is brunette genes.

How would I use SimPE to give such a Sim the desired recessive genes? Or can I?

(Is this question even in the right section?)

This is about changing the genetics of the Strangetown sims, but it should have enough information to get you going:

Thanks. In fact I'm going to join that board.
