Just Another Sim Birthday...

On my last sim post, Max got pregnant for the third time and she delivered a son, I named Marcus. He turned into a toddler today.

I wasn't a bit surprised that he turned out a "carbon copy" of his two older siblings. It made me wonder if EA (Electronic Arts, developer of the Sims' Series of games.) would be able to make changes and improvements as far as Sim genetics are concerned. so far all of my Sims' kids are "clones" of their siblings, (if their younger.) and of either their mom and dad, (if they're older.) The genetics on the Sims 2 were far better than this.

Ok I know, Sims 3 is still a base game with still no expansion packs but still EA should have somewhat integrated what's already well developed in Sims 2, like sim genetics. Anyway, there's nothing much we can do about it right now except wait and hope that an upcoming game patch update or a future expansion pack would eventually have better genetics.

Meanwhile, I've finally chosen a lifetime goal for the Porters' only princess, Minx.

What kid wouldn't want to be a doctor huh?

I admit I've been slacking off playing with the Porters' lately but that's only because Matthew's only got a few sim days before turning into a young adult and add a few more sim days and both Mitch and Max will turn elders... after that they'll.... (die) ... I don't even wanna think about it. (SIGH.) Besides, I still want them to have another baby before they turn into elders.
