Because I want a challenge. The puzzles in the game run out; so the challenge I set for myself was to make a black/brown haired tribe into blonds. You yourself spoke of how much you liked the glitch that 'unsolved' your puzzles, because it gave you something to do; making my brown-haired tribe blond gives me something to do. Without this information, such a task would take an age and a half, and would rely almost entirely on the use of the mutant hair colors, since the shades of brown or red are not always lined up on the chart in order of their hue.

Thank you kittenanggel2001! \:\)


What I can't understand, is the connection between being able to breed for hair color, and self-esteem issues. The bottom line is , one: if you don't like it, you can ignore it. I didn't even know it existed until these forums. Two: Anybody with a self-esteem issue will project it onto anything they like, without help from us. And any self-esteem issues caused by VV Genetics is just that - it's somebody who already has an issue, projecting the problem onto something totally harmless.

VV is not a fashion magazine, and it's not MTV, and it's not a Victoria's Secret catalog. None of these villagers even looks human, except in the most abstract sense. The most flattering thing I can say about any one of the villagers is that they have a nice dress or hair style.

I'm going to stop right here -- because the very concept that a genetic system in VV could possibly cause the kinds of problems with self-esteem that stick-thin fasion models cause is so absurd to me that I could rant for pages if I didn't cut it short.
