[Spoiler] Rare Children - 06/29/09 11:00 PM

There has been a lot of genetic experiments floating around the VF forum and I tried my hand at playing around with genetics and observing the children that come out looking different than their parents.

A "rare child" as used in this topic is a child that features a head that does not belong to his/her parents' genetic pattern. For example, if you locate your bigheads00.png file in the game's Images folder, you can use this as a guideline to see how the children should look and whether or not you have a rare child on your hands!

The rare children are programmed into the game as a way to bring some different looks into the family and keep things exciting! Just like in real life, we won't all turn out looking like our parents and that's just another way we're special.

Example 1:
A lot of you have seen my rainbow-haired girl experiment in which I paired Miss Rainbow with Mr. Spike who is right next to her on the bigheads image. To make sure I don't mistaken a unique looking head with a rare child, I open up the bigheads image and find which children the parents should produce.



According to the placement of these heads, my blue spiked hair man and rainbow haired woman can create any of these heads! How? According to the genetics pattern of the game, you can get any children between the parents, the parents' heads and the heads below and above the parents' heads.

With this in mind, I continued my experiment to see if I can get the Mohawk again and try for the female blue hair.



Unfortunately I haven't gotten the blue-haired girl but since I have had the Mohawk twice already, it is possible for the families to get the heads outside of the parents' heads as long as it is placed only 1 spot above or below them.

As you can see, I also did not run into any rare children during this experiment (although this family is rare to begin with!), so this did not satisfy my curiosity too well! grin

Example 2:
Mynda posted in another topic that her family had a naturally born rainbow-haired girl and both parents had brown hair.



According to the chart, her children should come out like the following:



This means that Mynda has a very lucky rare child! I decided to recreate her couple and try to find at least two rare children. This will help prove that rare children are random and couples are not limited to having only a certain head show up as a rare child.



The distinct blue borders signify twins, black borders signify triplets and the green outline signifies rare children.

As you can see, I did not get any of the heads that are in that one spot above or below the parents' heads in the chart, but I did receive two different sets of rare children! This is a major contrast to the other experiment I did with my rainbow family, in which I did receive one of the heads above the parents' heads (Mohawk) but no rare children.

We can try to plan our families, but of course there will always be things that we cannot control. Keep backups and keep them updated at crucial points! Don't be discouraged by the rare children either, it's nice to have some diversity too. smile

One of my couples had dark hair and had a baby from the blonde section of the image file. smile

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/29/09 11:51 PM

I finally started my second 5 of my families. And got the rainbow haired gal and the spikey guy and had 2 adoptions! Weird, I am lucky to get one! I had an adoption before a marriage proposal actually, first time that happened!

So far on my rainbow haired gal and blue spikey haired guy, I have a mohawk, a rainbow haired girl and a spikey blue haired boy. I have one more spot left but they are being difficult!

I also tried the rainbow gal with a normal guy, and so far all their children are boring normal ones. lol Well one has green hair the boy I guess.

I may do another 5 families and see what I can come up with.

Is it just me or do these wild haired people/children just more naughty then the normal kids/adults. Hmm

Lol! I was wondering the same thing KCJen.

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:09 AM

My poor rainbow family is in chaos, Spike II has already had a grave infection, they've been pretty sick and everytime I look away all of the rainbow kids and the Mohawk kid is either jumping on the bed or banging dishes eek
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:17 AM

Mine too! I did have the thought that they seemed a bit naughtier that most of the other kids in the game. Arther probably programmed them that way.

Hope Spike II gets better. I always worry about losing one of the kids when they get sick but have been fortunate so far not to have lost any peeps other than to old age.
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:18 AM

I'm doing my best to nurse him back to health, buying the health enhancers when they show up. That was actually my first grave infection, so I hope I can help him frown

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:20 AM

OMG my spikey kid is a BRAT! I red glove him from the "wall" he goes to the bed. I red glove him from there, he goes to the "wall". I swear, I wanted to give him a timeout!

The rainbow haired girl is no better at going between the banging dishes and jumping on the bed. They really like the jumping on the bed, I think is why my parents arent breeding, they jump up there and get in their way! But I am afraid to use the red glove and hit a parent on accident. *sigh* dang kids!
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:22 AM

LOL! I know exactly what you mean KCJen..I also feel bad for having to red glove them so I just end up picking them up and putting them back down until they do something good to make them feel better and hopefully replace their actions with good ones. >_<
Posted by: KCJen

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:23 AM

Yeah I need to start that too, this is the first time I have ever had a child "little blue" due to so many punishments! I am starting to feel guilty they will need a therapist soon. lol

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:24 AM

I love their naughtiness. Maybe I'm strange!

Lyssaria, the fruit and vitamins are great to restoring their health. They work best together if you can get them. I try to keep fruit, vitamins, and an energy drink on hand.
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:27 AM

Both my rainbow girls were blue from the start, but they got better in a short time. I wonder if it's the hair...:)
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:32 AM

Thanks Lewanda! I completely forgot about the fruit..I've been picking up the vitamins, towelettes and hand gels.

I wonder if your rainbow girls are blue because of how frustrating their hair is to brush..I keep finding mine in front of the bathroom mirror trying to get through that hair.

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:32 AM

OK, maybe this was already answered, but is there a specific combination I can use to increase the chances of getting a rainbow haired girl, or does she turn up at random?
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:34 AM

I thought it was kind of strange. I've had peeps be blue when first adopted but not too many that were blue when first weened.
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 12:40 AM

So far I've seen the most rainbow girls from pairing rainbow up with the blue spiked hair guy, and that's because there's only 4 possible outcomes you can get in that genetic pattern.

Good luck with rainbow!

Re: [Spoiler] Children Mutations - 06/30/09 02:49 AM

Jessica is brunette and Marcus has black hair, their first daughter Jocelyn is blond. They are 12th generation. The only other blond is the father in the third generation.

I figure it's just passing down through the generations.
Posted by: PeaceFrog777

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 06/30/09 09:36 PM

Here is Rainbow's family so far. How can you tell what the kids of a couple should look like? I heard something about seeing the images file in the game, but how does that work?
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 06/30/09 09:49 PM

You go to the Images folder in the Virtual Families game folder found in Program Files. The image you need to look at is bigheads00.png

Once that is open, find the mother's and the father's head and count how many heads are seen in between them.



I counted 64, so half would be 32. The heads closest to the middle will most likely be the kids!



If you happen to get any other kids that show up between the parents or one spot above/below them, they're naturally a part of the genetics and not a rare child.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/01/09 02:17 AM

Thank you, thank you. As you can see I got tired of waiting for spike or mohawk so I settled for that blonde guy who's 3 heads away from rainbow girl and it worked!

Yup, I'm keeping all their names. Although, Tur sounds a little too primitive for me. crazy

Update: they just had a new blue haired baby girl. I think getting a rainbow haired girl from my combination of parents would be more difficult. I keep getting the blonde girls and the bald and mohawk guys. I'm keeping one bald or mohawk guy as my 6th kid, though. For the meantime, I'm aiming for blue or rainbow haired girls.

Thanks for coming up with the experiment. Makes playing more enjoyable. smile

lyssaria how do u get so much clidren?
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/02/09 12:30 AM

I didn't have all of those children at once, what I did was:

1. Take a screenshot of the family tree with just the husband and wife or existing kids and open it in my image editor

2. Paused and closed my game, then made a copy of my game's save files as a backup.

3. Opened the game, unpaused and tried for a baby. If it worked, I click on "Family" and then take a screenshot of the new child and add it to the family tree in my image editor.

4. Paused the game and opened up another family, paused that one too.

5. Copied my backup files and replaced my game's files. This will take the baby away so I can keep trying as many times as I want.

6. Repeated steps 3-5 until my family tree in my image editor is full!

I did this for my experiment, but you can use these steps to get the child you want, any husband/wife for your peep that you want and more. smile Just stop whenever you're happy with what you have and always keep backups in case something goes wrong with your little families.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/03/09 06:09 PM

The steps that I gave you would make the new children go away so I could keep making more..you can't have more than 6 kids at a time in a generation.

It was just me showing everyone what kids they would have if they kept on going smile Fake screenshot basically.



Bye bye Rainbow cry

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/04/09 05:29 PM

Aw, Lys that's sad. She has generously provided you her genes for your experiment. I myself am more attached to my 'test' family because they are subjected to my experiments.

Here's an update of my test family. I wish the kids would just stay and not leave mom and dad.




And introducing, my little rainbow haired girl. laugh

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/04/09 05:37 PM

Congrats on your adorable families! I'm glad to see you got your rainbow-haired girl! grin Are you going to give her a different name?

I've been trying to find another Mr. Spike to continue my test family smile I definitely didn't luck out this time, I tried soo many times so far! Had to pause poor Rainbow II overnight.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/04/09 05:43 PM

It gets quite tiring rejecting proposals. Haha! grin

Have to ask the other 'mother' regarding the name. My roommate and I are sharing little rainbow girl. Taught her how to do your experiment and she labored over the proposals until she found Saphetta.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/04/09 05:45 PM

grin That's wonderful! I always have much more fun with games when I'm sharing it with someone. I always let my boyfriend choose the names in my main family since I made us the founders.

He gets random messages on his cellphone at work such as "Congrats on your new great-grandson, his name is Alphi, what do you want to change it to?"

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/04/09 05:53 PM

That's so cute. I love reading about husbands and boyfriends playing the game and getting addicted just like us.

Btw, I'm using your bathroom mod and it's so lovely. smile Thanks so much. My roommate likes it too.

I'm glad you two enjoy it! smile I've been thinking about what I'm going to do to that laundry room..I love the modern washer/dryer sets that are round, red and metallic grin

LOL My boyfriend gets tempted to come here and try snatching my hamster mod all for himself because I named it after him!

shocked I can finally move on with my life!



and yeah..I forgot to rename the first Spike II to something else since I only wanted the parents to use the numbered names >_< oh well!

My hubby ( Marc ) is a total 'hooked on the families' man! We fight over who uses the pc at times when he's home from work. Childish, I know, but come on!! these peeps are SO cute, and you do get so addicted to them it's hard to close the game down at night, and the the first thing he checks on before he leaves for work in the mornings laugh It's a love thing wink lol...

hi everyone! this is my first post ever.

i just had to announce the birth of my rainbow twins! thanks to the information on this thread, i paired up blue-haired girl Azul with Spike. their family consists of 2 blue-haired girls, 1 blonde girl (?), 1 spike guy and now... the rainbow twins! thanks for showing me how this was possible. grin

I was reading these posts about boyfriends and husbands and it turns out I started the game the same way Lyssaria did - for my first generation we got a couple that kinda looked like us (me and my husband).

Now, we decide everything: who to adopt, every time a child is born we decide the name (if we are going to change the game name or not), marriage proposals.... So he kind of play the game with me. smile

Oh, and about the colour haired girls, I had Janis who had coloured hair, but all the children were "normal". Now my couple adopted a blue-haired girl (Bluey) and she's going to inherit the house - let's see what happens. smile

Have to say, these are all so lovely! completely adorable. whilst I have had a rainbow haired girl in the past, I have never had nor helped to create a blue haired girl or a blue haired boy ( black/blue spikey ) I am envious of you all in the nicest way. smile

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/06/09 08:52 PM

I'm sure you'll find those two children eventually Indigo! I've yet to produce a blue-haired girl as well but I'm definitely not giving up, she's so cute!

There's so many beautiful families showing up in this topic! I'm excited every time I see a new post. smile

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/26/09 09:14 PM

You just drop them on top of each other until their action is trying to make a baby. They should go on the bed and kiss. If it works, you get a baby. Sometimes couples are stubborn and it takes a while to get a child.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/26/09 11:25 PM

It took me 3 days once to get the Spiked head and it could've taken even longer.. Nothing will help the chance of getting the head we want other than trying more times. smile Just hang in there next time! You will get them eventually. I've already had 4 generations with the parents being Rainbow and Spike, going to be fifth soon!

Jamie if they argue, you don't have to wait for them to finish you can interrupt them and get them to keep trying until it says "Trying For a Baby". If it isn't successful and the family is wealthy, it's good to use a doctor consultation to see if they need baby boost to have a baby. If this is the case, try using baby boost next time before they try again. smile

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/27/09 03:09 PM

Since there are so many experiments going on with genetics, I've decided to try to get ALL (or almost all) of the different heads in my fams. I've pretty much given up on getting the same career trophy, so I'm going to see what combinations come up from my random pairing. If a head's been in my family, I'll choose a spouse who is different.

Lyssaria, or anyone, have you ever bred a rainbow or blue girl without using mohawk, blue spike or rainbow girl?

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/27/09 07:39 PM

I just got a rare child!! maybe I can get a screenshot later, but he is my second child.

Ajuma there have been rare Rainbows reported in the past outside of the parents' genetics but that's completely random and very rare indeed smile There is also adoption although that also isn't a part of genetics.


Congrats Jamie!
Posted by: gmomluvsvv

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/28/09 04:48 AM

Reflecting on the search for those special ones....Blue Girl and Rainbow Girl, I have started three of my families on the way to meet that goal. Remember, this game will follow the same math genetics pattern as our Virtual Villagers did. If I'm wrong, sure Lady CF will tell us. But if not,the path of this exploration will be thus:
Identify your parents heads by number, add them together and divide. There is your 'mean' expected child's head, with a leeway of 5 up or down. Example: Family #1 parents are #30 & #47,,,their child will most likely be #38. And first one is!
Anything beyond that 'norm' [34 to 42 in example] would be a rare, random child for that particular family.
So I will be slowly building down into the larger numbers, which will give me back my blondes and eventually the truly hard to acquire Blue & Rainbow girls.
Wish me luck....gotta do something waiting for those dratted triplets in four of the families, much less bugs. frown
Will keep you posted from time to time how many generations I have to deal with to get there.

That family is so unique looking PT! and I also had a blonde boy as an adoption in my rainbow family.. kind of odd how the blondes are closest to those colorful heads and we keep getting them as adoptions even though its supposed to be random grin I see you also have a rare child, Lucina!

Posted by: ajuma

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/29/09 03:51 PM

Gmom, great idea! I'm going to try it. One question though...do the 1s and 2s cycle back down to the rainbow/blue haired girls, or does it only work in one direction?

I think I'll try a couple of fams going up and a couple going down to see what happens.
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/29/09 04:57 PM

So far I've only seen the bottom hairstyles produced with the heads directly around them which means the top hairstyles didn't work out.. I haven't really looked too far into this so it's definitely worth experimenting ajuma! smile

Just be careful because you'll likely run into a rare child that throws off the genetic formula grin

I was going to wait until I finally got Spike V(5) to post this.. but here is what I've done to keep my interest going with finding him:



The black dots represent 1 proposal from the male it is sitting on, a white dot represents 2 and the star is the head I want. When I do find him, I'm putting the black dot in the middle of the star.. 151 proposals! ugh! This isn't even all the proposals I've done, I only decided to do this after a day and a half worth of proposals.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/30/09 06:02 AM

Ajuma....no, the 1's & 2's are of no help in getting our 'special ones'. Best way to explain....Hubby Is #1 and Wife is #50. Add the two together, divide and the child head you can
anticipate is #25....give or take 4 heads either way.

Not on subject, but my little ones have been such naughty children today that it is comical. Draw on the wall, red glove, take a breathe and he is right back drawing on the wall. It just went on and on through all the families. Well, except for the little adoptee Harry who happily took the trash out.

Posted by: gmomluvsvv

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/31/09 03:57 AM

Oh, Lyssaria, had so hoped to check in and see an elated 'I got him!!!!'. Maybe tomorrow.

On the subject of rare children, which is how the last two heads,male and female, are referenced in our posts.....thought I would mention that there seem, at least in my games, to be far fewer truly rare...i.e., not within the mathical gene pattern of the parents......in VF than there were in the VV games. Did get two today. Just as an example for those who might be interested enough to delve into this new for VF approach:
Parents #46 and #14 should have children within the head numbers of 27 to 35. So up popped a VF math genetics rare, #12 girl.
Parents #47 and #14 should have children within the head numbers of 25 to 35. And I got a #40, which am quite thrilled about. This family could well be the one that will get me quickest to
Ms Blue & Rainbow and their male counterparts.

Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/31/09 06:35 PM

I am really starting to think my game has banned me from getting any of the last 3 heads from the game.. I must've hit at least 600 proposals now and I have yet to see them let alone Spike.

To get one specific head like Mr. Spike is a 2% chance if proposals truly are random.. to get one of the 3 is a 6% chance. Tiny chance, but this increasing amount of proposals is tiring me out horribly!

I wish we could choose the husband or wife without having to rely on a random generator.. it may take some excitement out of it because there's something fun in not knowing what you'll get, but that's why there's always a "Random" button or something. I'd love if it worked just like the initial adoption screen too.. cry I really want to continue this family!

Edit: Lol! Right after posting that I got the Mohawk man to propose.. too bad it's not Spike but at least I know it's still possible to get one of the last 3 heads.

I'm not sure if this counts as 'rare' in children but my baldy pop peep and my wayward haired mom peep have just given birth to a purple haird little girl called bitmap. I've seen plenty of them when it comes to choosing a peep to begin a family with but I haven't ever generated a purple peep of my own til now. laugh correction! make that two I have a new baby on the way again with purple hair. laugh laugh

Congrats on the little cuties Jo! The purple girls are natural to that couple but they really are something special grin If they were boys, they'd have the green hair.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/31/09 09:49 PM

Ooooh thanks Lyssaria, I can't wait for my first little boy then! They sure are cuties and they make the funniest little noise too, a bit like a baby owl trying to twit awww......

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/31/09 11:11 PM

The bald guy is a rare head also Indigo Jo. The purple head girl and green haired boy is also rare, but I've had both of them born in several families. The bald guy is more rare that they.

I have a family right now that has all six of the rare heads at the bottom of the image file. smile

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 07/31/09 11:13 PM

i THINK i got rare kids. i started a red haired family and got 2 blonds! thankfully i waited because i was going to use my backups to marry another red head b/c the very first kid was blond! but the second was a flaming red hair boy!
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 12:21 AM

Little Arto and Pasha are part of that couple's natural genetics as well esther. smile

On the bigheads image, Pierone and Decimal are side by side which means the kids will likely either turn out looking like one of them, or one head above or below them. Dono & Saul are above the father, Arto is below the father, Pasha is below the mother and Lilila is above the mother.

That really is a cute family though!

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 02:02 AM

I can see we have generated some enthusiasim for finding your
very own 'rare peeps' within a family circle:)
Just remember the formulas:
Dad's head # plus Mom's head # = total. Divide that total by 2 and your children should be that number or within 5 of it, up or down the scale.
Heads are numbered from 1 [black] to 50 [Spike & Rainbow}
Easiest way to determine is to copy the head images to your computer and print out to number. Or, still copy and pull up whenever you are curious, numbering in your head at the time.
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 04:17 AM

I do need to thank you for posting that formula too in earlier threads, I was using a more complicated method of counting both male and female heads (100 heads) and instead of adding their numbers, I'd count the heads between them and divide that by two!

You can see evidence of that on page 2 of this topic grin

Lewanda, I wouldn't be surprised if I had to wait until your little Spikes grew up before I'd find one in my game. grin

That's a lot of little baldies ajuma! I do think they are cute, but there's such thing as too much sometimes. eek

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 08:49 PM

Woow, Ajuma, who is going to inherit the house?

Ok, I have decided to start my own Rainbow family, initially I was planning for at least one little rainbow girl...I have such a soft spot for the little blonde bun girlies, thou, that I have decided to see how long it'll take me to get another rainbow girl in a next generation...

Ok, still not proficient at this...Gregozo was adopted before the marriage. CalicaI is also a runner, yay! And the lil blonde bun girls are natural triplets, no baby boost shots. The two blonde boys are not twins thou.
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 09:04 PM

How sweet etinka! I love the little bun girls. I have one right now and named her Bunny. smile She's so very cute!

gmomluvsvv, add to your formula the very heads of mom and dad, and also those directly above and below them, as they too are part of their genetic inheritance.

ajuma, I think they're adorable! I've really come to love that little bald guy. I have one game about to go into the fourteenth gen, and I've never seen a peep fix the bathroom shower on it's own until my little bald guy. He also cooks dinner without my intervention and is an excellent worker. I'm in love with him! Lol!!!!!

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 10:35 PM

I had the blond haired boy like Phantom and the redish-brown one like Gregozo and the 2 next to him as well. I had twins females also with the redish-brown hair.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 10:48 PM

While I was doing an experiment, I adopted the blonde female with the bun and her natural name was Blondie. I was so tempted to keep her, but I ended up needing to try adopting others to do my experiment. >_<

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/01/09 10:53 PM

In one of my very first games I got a Blondie. That was before anyone realised how rare she was ...

grin Blondie doesn't look too blonde, but at least she does have some blonde in there somewhere!

You're very lucky to run into her that early.
Posted by: ajuma

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/02/09 02:33 AM

Yeah, probably Wiki will get the house. Even though I like the baldies, there are just SO MANY of them!

A little background on this family: I was going to try for an all blond family, when Mariana showed up 3rd in the adoptions. I said what the heck and took her. Cosmo was her first proposal!

Lyssaria, I know that you're looking for Spike (and I hope you find him SOOON!) but does the rainbow girl get depressed? I'm trying to get either Spike or Mohawk (went through maybe 80 yesterday) and she went from being happy to depressed!
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/02/09 02:41 AM

I leave my Rainbow paused and only unpause her to open up the proposals.. she's been happy constantly. Not sure why yours would get depressed unless you leave the game going for a while or something. crazy
Posted by: ajuma

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/02/09 03:06 AM

Nope, paused it, switched to another paused slot, replaced the savegame file, switched back to rainbow slot.

Oh well...it doesn't matter. I got Mohawk this morning...with this result! I'm cursed! laugh

I got a rare child (by rare, I mean outside of the "expected" children range) in my main family...and it shocked me, as I wasn't expecting it. wink I double checked the heads file to make sure, but there he was. I guess his great great great great (etc etc) grandfather's genes popped up in him :P

grin Don't worry Lewanda, if I do find him I'll take good care of him! Organic food, vitamins, fruits, exercise.. the works! Lol

Incidentally, I just ran into Mr. Baldy for the first time.. kind of tempting to just accept him and draw some spikey hair on him.. maybe some crayons wink..

It's official though, I have seen all heads except Spike. Suspicious much?

Baldy really does make an awfully good husband and worker. You might want to try him sometime. As for Spikey, he may not be quite done with his college studies. I told him there was a cute little rainbow gal waiting to meet him at your house. smile He'll show up soon!

My mother had strawberry blonde hair that was curly like hers, so she had to have her name. smile

I've had the purple haired girls before, but it's been quite some time since I had one. They can only have three more, so I'll need some luck getting her. smile I was going to hold out for a black haired guy for Susie, but when the green haired one came along I couldn't pass him up.

I've got 5 baldies...you're welcome to one (or more!) of them any time you want! They've been the naughtiest children I've ever had. I'd move one away from jumping on the bed, then have to stop another from banging dishes. I even had TWO of them drawing on the wall at the same time! Now that they're teens, they seem to be behaving better, except that they always want to chat on-line and mom and dad both have office careers! mad laugh

Edit: How about the names Surprise, Fate, Angel or Heaven?

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 05:49 PM

I'll name her Destiny, then, 'cause she's the destiny of the house. Thanks for the names, Lyssaria and Lewanda!

Destiny really is a great name for Rainbow. grin If I wasn't just naming mine Rainbow #, I would probably go with that weather theme or a luck theme.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 05:53 PM

I like Sunny, Sunshine, and Rain too, but I've already used those in my rainbow family. I don't have any idea of what I'll name my next little rainbow baby.

She is the brightness in Cooper's life; he's happier now. He even sent me an elated email!
Edit: With all of us cramming into this topic, it's hard to say who'll be posting next!
Destiny took her toll, cleaning up the house for Cooper. He gets the weeds! smile Destiny likes cleaning.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 05:56 PM

That's so cool Elisa! smile

I guess I'll choose Rain to carry on since she's the only rainbow baby they had, and the last two gens began with rainbow gals. I'll be back later...gonna go get Sunshine's kid started on her new life. smile

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:01 PM

Lewanda, how about the names Sunrise, Sunset, Dew, Humidity, Light, Mist, Breeze, Wind or Chill.. just to name a few grin

I'm glad Destiny likes cleaning! For some reason my rainbow families make the most mess for me to clean up >_< That's sad though, looking for her mom frown

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:05 PM

OOOOH I like those names..Going to copy and paste them so I'll remember. I especially like Sunrise, so that will be their first rainbow baby's name! smile Thanks Lyssaria!

Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:18 PM

It's scary how close I get to just giving up this precious family.. it helps to remember how much work I already put in and I should only stop if I know for sure I have other things to do or it's really affecting my health.

Although I love casual games since they don't really interfere with life. You can't put a pause button on life, but you can in your games grin
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:18 PM

Well, it started raining just as Rain was checking out the house. That has to be a good sign. smile Lol!!!
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:20 PM

Yes, you can always pause them if you need to rather than giving the game up.

Rain just found a rare bug! We're starting out good.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:35 PM

grin It helps to be determined with these rare families! I get so tempted sometimes especially if I see a funny career/name combo or likes/dislikes. smile

I remember passing up a rocket scientist named Astro and he had the black + white hair!
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:47 PM

I love the dark haired peeps and just rejected one of my favorites. At least I have three guys to choose from, so it won't be as hard as you have finding your spike. I do it this way, because I like the diversity of the kids you get with three mate choices. smile
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:49 PM

That's a good point smile I do get tempted to bring a little more diversity, but I still find it thrilling to see the same 4 pop up along with some new random ones thanks to adoptions and the random element in their genetics.

They really did design this game skillfully in consideration of things like the genetics. grin
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 06:52 PM

You had a fairly diverse family with your last gen.

I've definitely lucked out in diversity in my Rainbow family smile Too bad I forgot to have the 6th child in Generation 4, I wonder what kind of child they could have had. frown
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/04/09 07:06 PM

I did that in one family too. I really had a hard time believing that I'd forgotten to have the last kid and had to go back and check to make sure that I really did.

You just have to keep on trying until she shows up! And she must be married to a Spikey haired guy or a Mohawk hair guy in order to have rainbow kids.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/05/09 01:51 AM

Actually a rainbow girl can have a rainbow baby with any guy, but the odds aren't as good as with the three last heads: Baldy, Mohawk, and Spike. Those are the ones I look for.
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/05/09 02:18 AM

I'm sorry about Destiny's health Elisa. frown

I was starting to miss my Rainbow family's constant antics.. in my main family one of the twin girls will always be caught jumping on the bed or banging dishes while I'm trying to take care of the other twin but nothing can compare to the Rainbows grin


That looks like no accident! It's a perfect pair of socks one right after the other. >_<


I think these 2 of the triplets have outdone the one twin girl in my main family.. but they look so sweet! You can also see Rainbow VI napping peacefully in the top-right corner.

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry Elisa! You're lucky nothing worse happened to the game or your computer though.. eek I keep backups saved every night just in case something does go wrong, did you have any saved?

Also gotta remember to have the game paused while you're making the backup, otherwise they'll catch up to the current time which can go wrong if you made the backup along time ago. smile

I love my little rainbow, blue and mohawk peeps, but I've decided to go in a different direction. I'm starting in the middle of the group, #24 and #25 I think, and see what "rare" kids I can get from these peeps. I'll keep picking boys that look like dad and girls that look like mom, generation after generation. It'll be interesting to see what happens!

Actually, I'll only be playing these peeps for 3 more weeks, then it's back to 3 days in one place and 4 days in the other. I'll experiment on both computers to see if there are any differences!
Posted by: Indigo Jo

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/05/09 05:32 PM

I know these are not that rare, they can be found almost anytime you search for a new peep to begin a new family with but when I chose My mom peep Zebranna the very FIRST proposal came from Flick with the same hair type and just look at my georgeous little girl who will be called 'Panda' I wonder if the whole family will be the same? I know it's silly but I'm quite excited at my stroke of luck smile

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/05/09 07:51 PM

Sometimes in my Rainbow family where the mom and dad are right next to each other, I'll be getting the kids one up or down from the mom and dad more often than the Rainbow or Spiked boy! It's random, but yeah you should see a lot of kids that look like the mom and dad.

I love the black and white hair, that's going to be a beautiful family! grin

Very nice family IJ! I'd love to have a family with the frosted haired couple. They're one of my favorites.

Hey all, I just found Rain's man. He's a mohawk. The game named him Malibu. I think I'll keep that, as it seems to fit him well. Happy happy!!!!! Now I have to go make a baby. smile

If you married her to a red haired guy would they get rainbow haired girls?
Posted by: Safire

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/05/09 11:22 PM

No. The blue haired girl would only get rainbow haired peeps if she was married to the mohawk guy or the spikey haired guy.
Posted by: Lewanda

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/05/09 11:33 PM

Hi stonzee! Any peep can have babies that are their own heads and the heads above and below them. The head directly below the blue haired girl is the rainbow girl. So yes she could have a rainbow haired baby. Though the odds are more for her if she marries the bald guy, spike haired guy, or mohawk guy. The chances are better with spike then mohawk after him. Hope this helps you Hon. Hugs!

Not that I feel that 1000+ proposals should be necessary.. no one needs to spend that much time rejecting and breaking the hearts of these poor peeps eek

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/06/09 01:32 AM

Amen to that sentiment, Lyssaria! There are times I truly do feel bad having to say 'reject'.
Three of my families are all in the blonde genetic numbers, Will likely spend one more generation trying to get the lowest blond numbers/heads and hope for that magical happening.

So instead, I started playing Virtual Families today on Windows as well as my iMac. I adopted a rainbow girl and we'll see what happens.

Posted by: Cheron

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/21/09 02:16 AM

My third gen family was started with Miss Blue who accepted a proposal from Mr. Mohawk. They have been the most ideal couple I have played so far. They had a beautiful family and both were hard workers and good parents. Tech reached master level 8 in his career at age 44 and always started preparing something to eat as soon as I checked on them, without being asked. They are in their early 60's now and moving slowly. Sad to play them that way, when they get prematurely old. I usually only get to check them a couple of times a day, early morning and early evening.

I will continue this family with Cary who is the only child I've ever had who laughed when I picked her up instead of letting out a howl. Too bad that went away when she turned 14. Hopefully I find a Mr. Mohawk or Mr. Baldy (sorry Lys, but definitely a short blond military-style crewcut, if he was bald his head would be the same color as his face) to be her husband.

The second generation had a rare child named Lilella who was so precious when she was young. I am thinking about starting a second family and trying to adopt a Lilella lookalike to start the family. I am enjoying my little people.
Posted by: *Moonlyght*

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/21/09 03:25 AM

What a great family!!!!!

I think the coloured hair genes are in the mohawk guy! All the family trees I see here with the mohawk have this great children.
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/21/09 04:18 AM

Best of luck with your family! I still believe Mr. Baldy is bald because:

The skin at the top is darkened as a shadow similar to the area beside his cheek creating depth as the light source is directly on the face. smile The same thing is done with Mr. Mohawk for the balded parts outside of the hair. We all do have our different opinions though and I can see how it looks like the close-shaven crew cut.

Little rare Lilella in your second generation is such a cute surprise!

Technically the best couple for colored hair would be Rainbow and Spike since only the colored hair is part of their natural genetics. The other couples are also great though grin

Here's my Rainbow family all up to date smile



Looks like my current generation has given me another rare child grin

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/22/09 03:44 AM

Several weeks ago I had posted that I would be playing the
math/genetics game just to see how long it would take to get
a Rainbow girl. Well, it took 4 generations, but not quite
the way I was expecting. Paulono, #47 on male head chart was
looking for a good match.....found a glorious one when there was
Bella aka Rainbow girl. Like others, I didn't check a single
qualification....heck at this point don't even know what her job
is. They have had one child so far, a clone of his Dad.
Noticed above that Cheron has the exact same pairing....here's hoping the LDW gods are as good to me as they were to Cheron:}
An additional 'goodie' of Bella's arrival is the family she chose....the Betts.....who are most certainly the likeliest to
garner me the 100 Trophy award. Need that one bug AND one photo.
Haven't seen a photo, anywhere, for month or more now. Yesterday I celebrated as found the last Rare twig!

Both Saphella and Paul died, leaving behind their 7 year old adopted daughter Cameron. I'm not up to the mountains of proposals yet, so I'm leaving her in the house for now.

Hi Gmom,

How's your family going? Hope you keep us up to date on their children. Good luck!

I have been away for several days with my family on pause. I snapped this photo of Mr. Mohawk Senior and his son Mohawk Junior this morning. The father's hair has turned gray. The sides of his head have also turned gray where supposedly he was bald. Maybe not bald on the sides afterall (?) Unless his scalp turned gray lol.

May all your children be healthy,
Cheron

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/24/09 11:38 PM

Mohawk grew out hair when he grows older similar to how bald parts of their faces grows facial hair grin Mohawk hair is difficult to maintain and I find it kind of funny how it grows out like the facial hair does. You can see how the hair grows in spotted as opposed to solidly making it very noticable! I don't see any changes for Mr. Baldy though besides the facial hair he grows in. smile

The triplets were so cute! As always though, I hate to see them all run off one day to college frown

Congrats on the rare kids! grin Would you choose the rare one to take over the family or do you try to continue the same type of genetics?

I just go with whatever Sonny chooses or whoever is my favorite whistle As for the Rainbow family, it's obvious I always choose one of the Rainbow girls since they continue the numbered names. grin

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/25/09 01:29 AM

thanks! no i always TRY to keep to what i was thinking of when i started the families. BUT i may change that soon cause i started 5 new ones, 2 blonds, 2 reds and 1 blue. well, in the other blond one one of the kids is the square faced one, and thats who i married for blue and got blue girls, so i might choose him, im not sure yet!! about the names, do u have to change them b4 college or can i wait til i get them back? because in my blue one, i have Mr and Mrs Bleu, then i let the girls keep their game names b/c ive never changed them after and will it mess up my family tree? i want to have MR and Mrs Bleu 2,3,4,5 and so on see? grin
Posted by: Lyssaria

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/25/09 02:06 AM

You can only change their names when you are adopting them, choosing one for the new generation or when they are available in the family detail screen. smile

So if you just wanted to change one child's name and plan on choosing her for the next generation, you can let her go to college with her original name and then change it when her adult version comes back for the next generation. The family tree should update both her child self and adult self with the new name.

I've just gone through 93 proposals today, trying to find Mr. Spike. 32 with black hair, 21 with brown hair, 10 with dirty blonde hair, 1 with green hair, 10 with red hair, and 19 with blonde hair. It feels like it will NEVER END!!!!!!!!!

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/27/09 12:05 AM

Safire, just remember you haven't come close the the number of
proposals Lyssaria went through. That should help:)
Cheron, the Betts family is now complete, with wonderful math/genetic numbers greater than the average. Rah!!!
Kids are Atom [#47], clone of dad & reminds me of football player.
Tux [#49], Mr. Mohawk
Barrister & Logo [#48] single births, our Mr Baldy
Montana [#48} adorable blond with the low pony or bun.Love her.
Wiki [#47] touseled, ear length blond have had before. She and
Atom are the only two not new for me.
Wonder who will get the house? Actually at this time leaning
toward Montana.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 08/27/09 04:05 AM

Even if you do reach 1000+ proposals like I did remember that it's best to keep the family paused than to delete them. I'd hate for anyone to lose one of their families eek

Lewanda, that must've been really hard to do! I ran into a perfect match or two in that horrible 1000+ session I had.. it just makes me want to give in to accepting someone other than Mr. Spike and write a new fan fiction story as an excuse for my choice, lol.

Best of luck with your family gmom! Montana must look lovely, she does have beautiful hair grin

I'm sure the triplets will be really cute when they start running around! but definitely a lot to handle grin
Posted by: Cheron

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/05/09 09:08 PM

Newly hatched triplets! One of the first things they did was all dance together. So cute. Maybe it won't be so bad, one of them actually took the garbage out without being asked, although the bag was bigger than she was. The last pic shows all six kids, all girls and all under the age of 14. Feeding time was pure havoc and they all wanted a shower at the same time. So far so good though. I love watching the 2-year-olds also.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/09/09 03:04 AM

I started a Rainbow family two days ago; little miss Sprite got a proposal from Mr. Baldy (in my game named Balozo) as the second proposal (no backups). They had two blond daughters (Mime and Frila), followed by a blue haired girl (Boots), and just now, another rainbow named Lania (I just LOVE that name). I'm so excited that I'm actually going to be able to keep the rainbow pattern going! grin

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/09/09 04:20 AM

Oh my goodness, rainbow triplets!!! I'm so jealous! I haven't even gotten one rainbow in the 5 families I've been running for 4 months! You ladies are extremely lucky!
Posted by: Cheron

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/09/09 06:13 AM

The triplets went off to college today (sad). Now the parents are alone still in their 50's. That's the down side of having triplets, but it was fun while it lasted. Miss Kathy I think you probably have to start with a Miss Rainbow or Miss Blue to get more rainbow girls, maybe start another family? Although if I had to delete any of my families now, it would be difficult for me. The triplets parents are Miss Rainbow and Mr. Spike.

Congrats on your little Miss Rainbow Krystal. You can keep the rainbow line going by choosing husbands who are right next to Miss Rainbow on the very bottom of the bigheads image file. When I first started this game my very first adoptee was Miss Rainbow and her second or third proposal was Mr. Baldy, and they had several rainbow kids. I only chose him because right before that Miss Rainbow sent me an email saying she was lonely and her status changed to a bit blue, so I grabbed the next proposal without even looking at his stats. I didn't know it was rare at the time or even unusual, except I almost died when they also had a Mr. Mohawk, I sure wasn't expecting that! He turned out to be a great kid and I now feel fortunate if I can find him for a husband. I have since started a few more families and am also enjoying them. One of them started with Miss Blue and Mr. Mohawk, they also had a few rainbow girls among their children.

Would love to see pics of your family.
Thanks,
Cheron

A rare child called Paulor was born into a rainbow family. I was surprised when he was born, not expecting it.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/18/09 09:17 PM

Miss Rainbow and Mr. Mohawk had triplets today. This is my second set of rainbow triplets, but in a different family. After trying to have a baby three or four times and failing, I gave them a doctor's checkup. The problem was Mr. Mohawk, his desire to have children is "I do not want kids" while Miss Rainbow was "Maybe". The doctor said to give him a baby boost shot. After the shot I put them together again and boom - triplets, and no arguing about it! Mr. "I do not want kids" now has six kids! (poor guy)

They all run in different directions now and I have given up any ghost of a chance to run after them and keep them out of trouble!

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/19/09 02:00 PM

I just started a Rainbow family. I had to settle for the bald guy for Flora's husband because I got too bored rejecting all of the proposals laugh

Their first kid was little mohawk, Paul, and Harvey was adopted. Their third child, Sasha (she's not born yet so I can't change her name) was just born, but she appears to be a rare child!
Posted by: Cheron

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/19/09 04:20 PM

CaszaGirl, I LOVE the so-called bald guy! You are lucky to find him for a husband. I always look for him but rarely find him among the marriage proposals, when I do I grab him. He is an ideal partner for Miss Rainbow and they will have Miss Rainbow and Miss Blue children easily.

Here's a snapshot of my families where Mr. Bald Guy is paired with Miss Rainbow and Miss Blue and the children they had. Yes, your third child is a rare child for this couple! Congrats!

Lyssaria explained how she did it in a post near the beginning. I'll just quote it - that's easier. lol

1. Take a screenshot of the family tree with just the husband and wife or existing kids and open it in my image editor

2. Paused and closed my game, then made a copy of my game's save files as a backup.

3. Opened the game, unpaused and tried for a baby. If it worked, I click on "Family" and then take a screenshot of the new child and add it to the family tree in my image editor.

4. Paused the game and opened up another family, paused that one too.

5. Copied my backup files and replaced my game's files. This will take the baby away so I can keep trying as many times as I want.

6. Repeated steps 3-5 until my family tree in my image editor is full!

I did this for my experiment, but you can use these steps to get the child you want, any husband/wife for your peep that you want and more. smile Just stop whenever you're happy with what you have and always keep backups in case something goes wrong with your little families.

I'd feel so bad for the parents if they really had all those kids at once grin Although I'd feel bad for the kids too since it'd be nearly impossible to give them all the attention they require frown

It would be pretty neat though! Especially if you have triplets and twins and they all run off to college before you know it!

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 09/21/09 05:14 PM

One of my rainbow families seems to have passed the ability to have rare children along. First Paulor in the last generation and now Samba in the current generation. She was a surprise and she's big for her age, at 2 years old she was as big as her 4-year-old older sister.

It's unfortunate that the cute salt & pepper Samba is the "B" word - BRAT. I move her from banging dishes to something more constructive with praise and she's right back banging dishes. I give her salty candy, she runs away, then comes back to banging dishes again. I do not like giving the red glove to any of my peeps, and never to adults, but this was one of those times! She then decided that jumping on the bed and playing in the dirt would be fun, over and over again. I found it best to just keep her busy watering the flowers - over and over again lol!

I have also received the name Samba lately in several different families when I never had that name before. I love the names of the parents Luna (moon) and Sol (sun). Sometimes the game can be so cute!

There first kid is from the row above mom. At least she doesn't have the same shade of blonde hair that her parents do.

And I like the fact that both parents names start with K, I didn't do that on purpose. It just happened. I also think the kid's name is nice. I think I'll definitely let her keep it.

I wasnt even gonna bother trying for anymore as thought they were getting on a bit and they already had 5 kids but thought may as well while i was hunting for bugs in a rainstorm!
have been playing the game for 5 months and really wanted a rare rainbow girl but couldnt bo bothered hunting endlessly for her. glad one finally appeared on its own!!

I got my rainbow (female) when an adoption came up. I never turn an adoptee away and was glad when I adopted her. I have not had one since and she did not give me any rainbow kids waaaaaa!!

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 11/04/09 11:02 PM

finally!
I had a rainbow girl, and saved the file in a backup, played it over and over. Get 3 marriage propsals in 1st half hour of game. That is 6 an hour. Over and over. Finally got a spike on 3rd propsal after 5 times. Resaved that one in backup file. They had a little gir1!
Yeah!

I counted 64, so half would be 32. The heads closest to the middle will most likely be the kids!



If you happen to get any other kids that show up between the parents or one spot above/below them, they're naturally a part of the genetics and not a rare child.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 05/24/10 08:43 PM

Woah... I just spent like half an hour rereading all the posts I made last summer on this thread... it was interesting to read the history of that rainbow family. Unfortunately, because of school and stuff I forgot about them and they all died. I just started a new family, a rainbow girl by the name of Mysti and a mohawk guy named Arthur. Their first child is not anywhere near their heads on the chart... Devin has dirty blond, long, shaggy hair.

UPDATE: Mysti just had spiky haired triplets!!!

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 06/07/10 12:27 AM

I suppose this has to count as a rare child... In one of my families, Ada has brown hair and her husband Jet's is black with white stripes. So both of their heads are at the top of the head chart.
Imagine my surprise when, after four dark-haired children, they had a blonde, blue-eyed boy, whose head is almost at the bottom of the head chart. shocked

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 01/05/11 12:46 AM

Brown-haired Aurora and red-haired Fargico's third child, Gepozo, ended up with black hair and a head that is much further up the chart than his parents' ones.


Redheads Brett and Mimi, after four sons who were also redheads, ended up with a brown-haired daughter (again, further up the head chart than them). Their son Theodore is blond, but he's adopted.


And Rowena really stands out among the blonde children of Moira and Inacio, who both have blonde hair as well. Rowena has purple hair but her head is among the brown-haired ones in the head chart.

User modifications can be used to change the images in the games, including hair styles.

These mods can be found in the Virtual Families Mods Forum, which is at the bottom of the main Forum List. Be certain that you read the Installation Instructions for Graphic Mods before using any mod.

That specific hairstyle mod can be found here.

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 06/28/11 08:57 PM

If you start a new game you can have a rainbow haired girl by choosing her from the adoption options. You just have to reject everyone else until she comes up. Otherwise you have to wait until she comes up as a possible marriage proposal or a child. Lyssaria did smooth out the hair in her mod though. smile

Posted by: MissKathyAdministrator

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 06/29/11 07:10 AM

Congrats on Miss Rainbow and Mr. Spike. As you've discovered they can also have Mohawk boys (as well as blue-hair girls) in addition to rainbow-hair girls and spikey boys. They can also have others further up the head chart (for this couple they would be considered 'rare children'). For the purposes of this game, rare children are basically those that are born outside of the heads between the parents on the heads chart. Does that make any sense?

I mean, obviously it's a child, and it's rare, but how do I tell if my family has a rare member? Please reply in PM, as I may never remember to check here again. For instance, this black-haired couple had a kind of zebra-haired girl..

Re: [Spoiler] Rare Children - 01/27/13 11:06 PM

The very first post in this thread states

Quote:
A "rare child" as used in this topic is a child that features a head that does not belong to his/her parents' genetic pattern. For example, if you locate your bigheads00.png file in the game's Images folder [usually only available to be found in the Windows and Mac versions of the game], you can use this as a guideline to see how the children should look and whether or not you have a rare child on your hands!

I decided to do mods again except the transparent stuff and I decided to switch between the rainbow makeover and the rainbow original every month.

Ok, this is what I am trying to say
I had all of Lewanda's dresses now I chose to just do the red one.
I use the rainbow girl makeover every other month.
I decided to do transparent menu bar and tool tray again even though in the post above I said I wouldn't.

I decided it was too hard to get rare families so I stopped doing it.

I decided to restart every single family I had because I wanted to start over.

Are the rainbow-hair kids rare on Virtual Families 2 too?
I also got the blue haired girl on VF1 through marriage, but they never had any rare children.

But anyway, I started a new game on my iPod touch, and I adopted a rainbow-haired girl named Frau. She married Hubby, who I think is a 41 on the head chart. I don't think that they will have any of the last 4 kids, but I thought it would be interesting to have the rainbow haired girl.

Update: Frau and Hubby now have a son who is a 45 on the head chart named Aketto.
Also, I didn't notice at first, but Frau and Hubby are a perfect match. They're both lobbyists smile

Here's a screenshot of the family. And yes, Tux and Francico are twins. I'm probably going to choose Bretta, Bit, or Lucola for the next generation.
And sorry for the black boxes on the sides of the screenshot. The resolution of the game on my iPod touch isn't perfect.

Update: I chose Bretta to take over the house, and she married a person who looks like the twins in the picture on the previous post. They now have a baby girl.
