GVGP: Capp & Monty 4

Having covered every sim in this group, let’s review our findings.

Similar to the previous two summaries, all information for each sim is split into several charts. Like in the individual entries, everything is color-coded, and I will give a special mention to any oddities found in a sim’s genetic code when they come up.

Genetic Profiles

Capp

Skintone

Oddity 1: Cornwall's Skintone

Cornwall's skintone makes perfect sense because he shares it with his mother. That said, his father's slightly darker complexion requires hypothetical genetics to make sense with the parents he has.

Oddity 2: Goneril's Unrecognized Skintone

Like her mother, Goneril's skintone was unrecognized by the game during the title's early days. Luckily, both sims have since had their data corrected, so Goneril's skintone now makes perfect sense.

Hair Color

Oddity 3: Albany's Blond Hair

Despite Albany having blond hair, both of his parents had dominant hair colors. Thankfully, two of Albany's grandparents also had blond(e) hair, so we can assume that the trait skipped a generation.

Oddity 4: Goneril's Hair Colors

Unlike her husband, Goneril's hair color is a hot mess. While she has brown hair in-game, it doesn't make any sense when we take her genetic history into account. The red hair listed in SimPE, on the other hand, does make sense in spite of her paternal grandparents' similarly faulty phenotypes.

Eye Color

Oddity 5: Albany's Green Eyes

Albany's green eyes are similar to Goneril's red hair, in that they likely skipped a generation (or possibly two, in Goneril's case). Additionally, they're both descended from sims who were programmed with contradictory dominant traits.

Oddity 6: Cordelia and Caliban's Corrupt Faces

One of the side effects of having a corrupt face is that a sim displays brown eyes in their headshots, regardless of what's actually in their genetic code. Even if her brown eyes were genuine, they wouldn't make sense when looking at Cordelia's two grey-eyed parents. As for Caliban, brown eyes could work on him, but Prospero Gale would have needed to possess a hypothetical allele to explain them.

Oddity 7: Capp Daughters' Grey Eyes

When looking at their genetic profiles and implementing hypothetical genetics when appropriate, all three daughters' eye colors make perfect sense. That said, hypothetical genetics are essential on Consort's side of the family tree, as the trait appears to have spontaneously appeared in his genetic code.

Oddity 8: Cornwall's Grey Eyes

Cornwall is the son of two dominant, dark blue-eyed parents, but him having recessive grey eyes isn't completely outside the realm of possibility. When looking at his family tree, Cornwall's eye color can be explained by assuming Hamlet Jr. passed down a recessive grey allele he inherited from his father, and Tobea passed down a recessive allele she received from her mother.

Oddity 9: Kent's Light Blue Eyes

Like Albany's blond hair, Kent's light blue eyes make sense if we assume they skipped a generation or two. Despite having two grey-eyed parents, Kent has ancestors on both sides of his family tree who could have supplied him with the proper allele (Octavius Capp on Contessa's side, and either Queen Thebe or Hecuba Albion on Consort's).

Monty

Skintone

Oddity 10: Olivia's Skintone

Olivia is the S3 daughter of two S2 parents. As such, we would need to assume that Dull Dottore passed an S3 allele down to his son Holofernes for Olivia's skintone to make sense.

Hair Color

Oddity 11: ABC Monty Hair Nonsense

The Monty family has long had a history of contradictory hair colors. Of the ABC Montys's grandparents, only their paternal grandmother has a perfectly explainable hair color. Both grandfathers are programmed with black hair; however, they each have one parent with brown hair, and another with a recessive hair color. Even more glaring, there's their maternal grandmother, who has brown hair despite having parents with recessive hair colors. This conundrum is made even more complicated in the next generation, as both Patrizio and Isabella have two possible hair colors. In Patrizio's case, storytelling images show him having black hair, whereas SimPE and The Sims 3 both show him as a brunet. Meanwhile, SimPE lists Isabella as a blonde, yet The Sims 3 portrays her as a brunette. With the ABC Montys in mind, we now know that Patrizio definitely has a black allele in his genetic code; however, we can't say for sure whether it was expressed. With black and brown hair both being dominant, Patrizio could have passed down either one; if that were the case, then it would have been a coin flip as to which kid ended up with which allele. As for Isabella, her offsprings' hair colors fail to rule out whether she had dominant or recessive hair.

Oddity 12: Olivia's Blonde Hair

Unlike the ABC Montys, Olivia's blonde hair is easier to explain. While Olivia shares her hair color with her mom, the latter's blonde tresses spontaneously appeared; however, given that Judith had two red-haired parents, one of them could have had a hypothetical gene in their genetic code. Olivia's father's side of the family tree is instead littered with black-haired sims; however, one of her paternal grandparents could have easily passed down a hypothetical recessive allele to her father.

Eye Color

Oddity 13: Claudio's Light Blue Eyes

Claudio's eye color is yet another case of spontaneously appearing traits occurring in Veronaville. In this case, we can narrow down the source of Claudio's phantom trait to Proteus Pantalone, who would have needed a recessive allele in order to explain his son Vincentio's grey eyes.

Skintone

Planned Additional Essays

In terms of any additional essays I'm planning to write on this group, I do have some things in the works.

As I mentioned in both Cornwall and Regan's entries, the two of them will be mentioned in a special essay down the line. That said, I'll save the details for when I post it (though, you might be able to guess what it's about if you browse my previous Veronaville Vault entries).

Another essay I want to write has to do with the Monty family's weird hair genetics. That said, I want to finish all of that family's genetic profiles before I touch it, as it will contain spoilers.

The final essay I have on my to-do list has to do with Olivia Monty, and how certain sources might help to explain her genetic oddities without incorporating hypothetical genetics.

Before writing this batch, I also had another essay in mind; however, I ended up incorporating the bulk of it in Claudio's genetic profile, and the rest will be brought up in the next batch.

Speaking of which...

Who's Next

The RNG gods have decided that Mercutio will be the first sim up in our next group, unless anyone wants to expedite another sim's genetic profile. I don't know when the next entry will be posted, but I've made a dent in a few of them, so hopefully the next batch won't take another two years to finish.

Thank you so much for reading the GVGP so far. With this group down, we're approaching the homestretch of part 1. Once the next batch of entries is completed, all the Capps and Montys will have their genetic profiles shared, and we can move on to the Summerdreams.

Once again, thank you so much for reading!~ <3

GVGP Profile: Kent Capp

Every Monty in this batch has been covered, so now it's time to cover the remaining Capps. Of the three sims left to go over, we're starting off with the only one not named after one of King Lear's daughters -- Kent.

When it comes to his ancestry, Kent is the only son of Contessa and Consort Capp and, by extension, the brother of Goneril, Regan, and the late Cordelia Capp. His grandparents include Scribonia and Octavius Capp, as well as Andromache and Hector Thebe. Finally, Kent's great-grandparents are Cleopatra and Antony Capp, Calpurnia and Julius Caesar, Eetion and Queen Thebe, and Hecuba and Priam Albion.

Kent Capp's Genetic Profile

Kent Capp's Visual Profile

Much like Bianca Monty, Kent has no children of his own when the game starts, and there isn't any indication that this was any different earlier in development. As such, he won’t be present in any further entries unless I feel the need to highlight specific aspects of his genetic code.

Skintone

As the child of parents who are both visually presented as S1, Kent having an S1 skintone makes perfect sense. While there was an issue early in the game’s lifespan regarding Contessa’s skintone being unrecognized, the fact remains that Consort’s recognizable S1 complexion is more than enough to justify Kent inheriting it.

Hair Color

When looking at his parents’ individual genetic profiles, we have already determined that Consort and Contessa both make sense as natural blond(e)s. As a result, Kent’s blond hair also makes perfect sense (even though he's bald).

Eye Color

Despite neither of his parents having light blue eyes, Kent’s eye color makes perfect sense when you look back at his family tree.

Kent's Great-Grandparents via Contessa Capp

Contessa Capp's Visual Profile

If Contessa had a light blue allele in her genetic code, then it most likely came from her father — Octavius. If you believe that Octavius was directly descended from Calpurnia and Julius Caesar, then at least one of them would have needed a hypothetical light blue allele in their genetic codes. Of the two, theorizing that Calpurnia was the one with the light blue allele would incorporate fewer hypothetical genetics than Julius due to the former having a dominant eye color. If Calpurnia’s eyes were homozygous, then none of her descendants’ eye colors would make a lick of sense; however, a homozygous Julius wouldn’t contradict anything. This would allow Calpurnia to pass down a light blue allele to Octavius, who could pass one down to Contessa.

Kent's Great-Grandparents via Consort Capp

Consort Capp's Visual Profile

In Consort’s case, he could have inherited a light blue allele from either of his grandmothers. With that in mind, only one of Queen Thebe or Hecuba Albion would be able to pass down the gene, as both of them passing it down would contradict both Hector’s green eyes and Consort’s grey eyes. If Queen Thebe was the one who passed down the light blue allele, then Hecuba Albion would either need a green or grey allele to explain her descendants’ eye colors, and her husband Priam would need the other one. However, if Hecuba was the one who passed down the light blue allele, then Queen would need to have a grey allele for Consort’s eye color to make sense. Either way, one of Queen or Hecuba would have passed down a light blue allele to their child, who would pass their allele down to Consort.

Table A: Eye genotype options for Consort’s grandparents using as few hypothetical genetics as possible.

Table B: Eye genotype options for Consort’s parents using as few hypothetical genetics as possible.

When looking at Kent’s family tree in its entirety, he could either be homozygous or heterozygous for light blue eyes. If he was homozygous, then both Contessa and Consort would both have a recessive light blue eye alleles in their genetic codes. At the same time, Kent being heterozygous doesn’t automatically mean that only one of his parents possesses a light blue eye allele, since only one is required for Kent to have light blue eyes.

As a Whole

Kent Capp's filled out genetic profile. His complexion makes perfect sense in spite of Contessa's pre-patched unrecognized skintone. His hair color makes sense if hypothetical genetics were incorporated earlier in his ancestry. Finally, Kent's light blue eyes make sense if we assume they weren't expressed for a generation (on Contessa's side) or two (on Consort's side).

Who's Next?

With all the men in this batch covered, we only have two ladies left. Our penultimate entry in this group is the only remaining sim who wears glasses -- Regan Capp.

Thank you for reading!~ <3

[cornyregans]

GVGP Profile: Regan Capp

Having covered all the Montys, in-laws, and males from this group, we only have two ladies left. Of the sims remaining, we're going to begin with the younger of the two -- Regan Capp.

When it comes to her ancestry, Regan is the daughter of Contessa and Consort Capp and, by extension, the sister of Goneril, Kent, and the late Cordelia Capp. Her grandparents include Scribonia and Octavius Capp, as well as Andromache and Hector Thebe. Finally, Regan's great-grandparents are Cleopatra and Antony Capp, Calpurnia and Julius Caesar, Eetion and Queen Thebe, and Hecuba and Priam Albion.

Regan Capp's Genetic Profile

Regan Capp's Visual Profile

Like her brother and Bianca Monty, Regan is childless when the game starts. Unlike the former two sims, however, there is evidence that she and her husband Cornwall were meant to be parents earlier in development. As such, Regan’s genetic profile will be mentioned in a special essay later on.

Skintone

As the child of parents who are both visually presented as S1, Regan having an S1 skintone makes perfect sense. While there was an issue early in the game’s lifespan regarding Contessa’s skintone being unrecognized, the fact remains that Consort’s recognizable S1 complexion is more than enough to justify Regan inheriting it.

Hair Color

When looking at her parents’ individual genetic profiles, we have already determined that Consort and Contessa both make sense as natural blond(e)s. As a result, Regan’s blonde hair also makes perfect sense.

Eye Color

Regan’s grey eyes make perfect sense, as she shares her eye color with both parents. That said, when looking at her family tree as a whole, their journey getting to her requires some hypothetical genetics on both sides.

Regan's Great-Grandparents via Contessa Capp

Contessa Capp's Visual Profile

On her mother’s side of the family tree, both Cleopatra and Antony would need to possess a hypothetical recessive allele in their genetic codes, and at least one of them would have to be grey to explain Scribonia’s eye color. Also, while some hypothetical genetics are required to explain Octavius’s light blue eyes, the fact remains that Julius’s grey eyes more than explain how Octavius could have potentially passed a grey allele down to Contessa.

Regan's Great-Grandparents via Consort Capp

Consort Capp's Visual Profile

Her father’s side of the family tree is comparatively more complicated. In Consort’s case, he is the first one in his family to exhibit the trait, as all of his ancestors had either brown, light blue, or green eyes. As a result, you would need to come up with the right hypotheticals for each of his ancestors (other than Eetion, who can get away with not having his profile touched). In short, you would need to determine which of Queen, Hecuba, and Priam possessed alleles for green and grey eyes in their codes, leading to three potential options that can explain how Consort, and by extension Regan, could end up with grey eyes.

Table A: Eye genotype options for Consort’s grandparents using as few hypothetical genetics as possible.

Table B: Eye genotype options for Consort’s parents using as few hypothetical genetics as possible.

From what's shown in the tables above, Hecuba Albion is ultimately the key to explaining everything, as she's the only sim who could hypothetically possess any of the three recessive alleles in her genetic code. If Hecuba was homozygous for light blue eyes, then Priam would need a green allele to explain Hector's eye color, which leaves Queen as the only sim who could pass down a grey allele to Consort. If this was the case, then we could definitively say that Consort inherited his grey eyes from Andromache.

On the other hand, Hecuba being heterozygous with an unexpressed green or grey allele means that Priam would pick up the remaining gene, and Queen Thebe would be homozygous. If this was the case, then Hector would have been the one who passed the grey allele down.

As a Whole

Regan Capp's filled out genetic profile. Her complexion makes perfect sense in spite of Contessa's pre-patched unrecognized skintone. When it comes to her hair and grey eyes, both make sense if hypothetical genetics were incorporated earlier in her ancestry.

Who's Next?

It's Goneril. She's the only one in this group who hasn't been covered yet, so it can't be anyone else.

Thank you for reading!~ <3

[cornyregans]

GVGP Profile: Albany Capp

Having finished what is, so far, the most verbose profile in the GVGP, we're moving on to something a tad more succinct. This time, we're covering the sim in this batch who fathered the most children -- Albany Capp.

Albany’s family tree shows that his ancestors were part of the “new blood” brigade. This means that, despite being counted among the fourth generation gang, he’s technically a third generation sim within his birth family. In terms of ancestry, Albany is the son of Richard and Anne Norman, as well as the grandson of William and Mathilde Norman, and Henry and Eleanor Anjou.

Albany Capp's Genetic Profile

Albany Capp's Visual Profile

Having fathered four children with his wife, Goneril, Albany will be present in each of his offsprings' genetic profiles, and will be given a mention whenever necessary.

Skintone

As the son of an S2 father and an S1 mother, Albany’s S1 skintone makes perfect sense.

Hair Color

Albany is the blond son of a black-haired father and a brunette mother. That said, the fact that blond(e) hair is present on both sides of his family tree means that Albany’s hair color makes sense, provided both of his parents had recessive alleles in their genetic codes.

Albany's Grandparents

The source of the blond(e) allele among Albany’s paternal ancestors is William Norman, who passed his allele down to Richard, which was then passed down to Albany. As for his maternal ancestors, the source in this case would be Eleanor Anjou, who passed her allele down to Anne, which was then passed down to Albany.

Eye Color

Much like his hair genetics, Albany’s eye genetics skipped a generation. Unlike his hair genetics, Albany’s ancestors’ eye colors are almost all recessive, and the only dominant one doesn’t make any sense (*cough* Anne *cough*).

On both sides of Albany’s family tree, it’s his grandmother who initially carried the gene for green eyes. That said, because Albany’s family history is filled with recessive eye colors, only one of his grandmothers would have needed to pass the allele down to him. If, however, both of them passed it down, then Albany would be homozygous for the trait.

As a Whole

Albany's filled out genetic profile. His skintone makes perfect sense, while his hair and eye colors both make sense if we assume they just weren't expressed for a generation (this is in spite of Anne's faulty dark blue eyes, by the way).

Who's Next?

Having covered the final sim who married into the Capp family, our next entry will cover the final sim who married into the Monty family. Next time, we're going to look at the only deceased sim who hasn't been covered yet -- Hero Monty.

Thank you for reading!~ <3

[cornyregans]

GVGP Profile: Claudio Monty

With Olivia Monty's entry done, it's now time for us to talk about her husband -- Claudio.

When it comes to his ancestry, Claudio is the deceased son of Patrizio and Isabella Monty, as well as the brother of Antonio and Bianca Monty. His grandparents include Valentine and Silvia Monty, as well as Vincentio and Francisca Pantalone. Finally, Claudio's great-grandparents are Bassanio and Portia Monty, Angelo and Mariana Capitano, Proteus and Julia Pantalone, and Lucio and Overdone Zanni.

Claudio Monty's Genetic Profile

Before his untimely death, Claudio was married to Olivia Monty, and they had two children, with a third on the way. As such, Claudio will be present in his offsprings' genetic profiles, and will be given a mention whenever necessary.

Skintone

As the son of two S3 parents, Claudio’s S3 skintone makes perfect sense.

Hair Color

If you’ve already read through Patrizio and Isabella’s genetic profiles, you'd know that their hair genetics are a mess. In Patrizio’s case, it’s due to contradictory sources, one where he has black hair, and one where he’s a brunet. While both of these hair colors can work, the brunet option is more situational, as we can't truly ascertain what Valentine and Portia Monty's genotypes truly were.

Claudio's Great-Grandparents via Patrizio Monty

SimPE lists Isabella as a blonde, but you will often find her depicted as a brunette (both by fans and in TS3). Unlike Patrizio, Isabella’s problem lies more with her parents’ faulty hair colors (specifically her mother’s). Much like Valentine, Vincentio Pantalone's headshot shows him with black hair despite having one brunet parent, and one with a recessive hair color. Conversely, Francisca has dominant brown hair in her headshot, yet both Lucio and Overdone Zanni had recessive hair colors.

Claudio's Great-Grandparents via Isabella Monty

As you’ve probably figured out, this whole hair thing is incredibly complicated. That said, in the interest of keeping this entry as short as possible, I’m only going to focus on how the following hair combinations affect Claudio’s genetic profile specifically.

Option 1: Black-Haired!Patrizio x Brown-Haired!Isabella: With a black-haired father and a brunette mother, Claudio’s black hair would make sense.

Option 2: Brown-Haired!Patrizio x Brown Haired!Isabella: Claudio’s black hair would only make sense with two brown-haired parents if Patrizio inherited the corresponding allele from his mother.

Option 3: Brown-Haired!Patrizio x Blonde-Haired!Isabella: With a brunet father and a blonde mother, Claudio’s black hair would only make sense if Patrizio received an allele for black hair from his mother.

Option 1: Black-Haired!Patrizio x Blonde-Haired!Isabella: With a black-haired father and a blonde mother, Claudio’s black hair would make sense.

Eye Color

Much like Consort Capp, Claudio is the victim of having an eye color that appeared spontaneously. Claudio’s ancestry consists of sims with brown, grey, and dark blue eyes; however, Claudio has light blue eyes. Of the known eye colors in his genetic history, the only recessive eye color is grey; however, only three of his ancestors were programmed with this specific gene.

On Patrizio’s side of the family tree, the only sim with grey eyes is Bassanio Monty. While we can’t say for sure if he was homozygous or heterozygous, we do know that he passed down a recessive allele to his son Valentine, who passed his down to Patrizio.

As for Isabella, both her father and paternal grandmother had grey eyes. In this case, Julia would have passed her recessive allele down to Vincentio, who passed it down to Isabella. That said, Vincentio couldn’t have had grey eyes if Proteus Pantalone was homozygous for dark blue eyes, so the latter sim would have needed a hypothetical recessive allele to justify this.

With these factors in mind, Claudio’s light blue eyes aren’t completely impossible. That being said, one of his great-grandparents would have needed to possess the proper phantom allele. Unlike with Consort, where there are multiple possibilities that can only be narrowed down so much, Claudio’s can be narrowed down to one sim.

Of his great-grandparents, the only one who couldn’t have passed down a light blue allele, not even with hypothetical genetics, is Portia Monty. As we’ve already discussed, Bassanio’s recessive eye color means Portia is the only sim who could have passed down a dominant allele to her brown-eyed son.

Valentine Monty's Visual Profile

With Portia eliminated, we can remove four more sims. All of Patrizio and Isabella’s maternal ancestors had brown eyes. As a result, the Capitanos and Zannis could all pass down exclusively dominant alleles, and the Monty family tree wouldn’t be any worse off. Not only that, but these exclusively brown-eyed ancestors perfectly explain how Patrizio and Isabella could be heterozygous for brown eyes, meaning Claudio's recessive alleles would have come from the Monty and Pantalone lines.

Silvia Monty's Visual Profile

Francisca Pantalone's Visual Profile

Now we’re left with only the Monty and Pantalone lines. We’ve already debunked Portia through a process of elimination, so we’re left with three sims — Bassanio Monty, and Proteus and Julia Pantalone. Of the three, the first sim we can remove from the list would be Julia. If Julia had a light blue allele, then it would mean that Proteus’s recessive allele would need to be grey to explain Vincentio’s eye color. While this situation is plausible, it’s not the option that uses the fewest hypothetical genetics.

Vincentio Pantalone's Visual Profile

This leaves us with Bassanio and Proteus as potential sources for the light blue allele. While both could have realistically had the gene, only one is needed to explain Claudio’s eye color. Of the two, however, the option that uses the fewest hypothetical genetics would be to assume that Proteus was the one who initially possessed the recessive allele. Unlike Bassanio, who could be heterozygous, Proteus would need to be heterozygous to explain how his son, and by extension his great-grandson, could realistically have recessive eye colors.

As a Whole

Claudio Monty's filled out genetic profile. As you can see, his skintone makes perfect sense when taking his genetic history into account. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his hair color, which makes sense on the surface, but has too many tangled webs to properly unweave. Finally, Claudio's eye color is a happy medium, as it makes sense with hypothetical genetics; however, the journey to deciphering the source is rather tedious.

Who's Next?

With all the ABC Montys out of the way, our next entry is going to cover the final sim to marry into the Capp family -- Albany Capp.

Thank you for reading!~ <3

[cornyregans]

GVGP Profile: Olivia Monty

Having finished covering Juliette's mom, this entry is going to focus on her other half's mom -- Olivia.

Olivia’s family tree shows that her ancestors were part of the “new blood” brigade. This means that, despite being counted among the fourth generation gang, she’s technically a third generation sim within her family. In terms of ancestry, Olivia is the daughter of Holofernes and Judith Dottore, as well as the granddaughter of Dull and Jaquenetta Dottore, and Thurio and Lucetta Brighella.

Olivia Monty's Genetic Profile

Olivia Monty's Visual Profile

Before her untimely death, Olivia was married to Claudio Monty, and they had two children, with a third on the way. As such, Olivia will be present in her offsprings' genetic profiles, and will be given a mention whenever necessary.

Skintone

Olivia’s S3 skintone isn’t shared with her S2 parents. Despite this difference, her complexion still makes sense because sims in TS2 have both a dominant and recessive skintone. While both of Olivia’s parents are S2, her paternal grandfather, Dull Dottore, possessed a dominant S3 skintone. This trait was passed down to her father (though not expressed), and she eventually inherited it as a dominant gene.

Hair Color

Olivia inherited her mother’s blonde hair. Despite this, hypothetical genetics on both sides of her family tree are required for her hair color to make sense.

Olivia's Grandparents

While Judith Dottore is programmed with blonde hair, both of Judith’s parents are programmed to have red hair. As such, one of Olivia’s maternal grandparents would have needed a recessive blond(e) allele to explain Judith’s, and by extension Olivia’s, hair color.

Judith Dottore's Visual Profile

Meanwhile, all of Olivia’s paternal ancestors are programmed to have black hair. As such, one of Dull or Jaquenetta Dottore would have needed a recessive allele in their genetic code, so it could be passed down to Holofernes and Olivia.

Holofernes Dottore's Visual Profile

Depending on the mystery gene’s origin, Olivia could have been either homozygous or heterozygous for blonde hair. That said, one of the alleles passed down to Olivia needs to be blonde for her hair color to make sense.

Eye Color

As the daughter of a brown-eyed father and a dark blue-eyed mother, Olivia’s brown eyes make sense. Given that Olivia’s maternal grandmother also had brown eyes, as did all of her paternal ancestors, it stands to reason that Olivia being homozygous is a definite possibility.

As a Whole

Olivia Monty's filled out genetic profile. Her brown eyes make perfect sense when taking her ancestry into account. Meanwhile, both her skintone (which most likely skipped a generation) and hair color (which spontaneously appeared) require hypothetical genetics to make sense.

Who's Next?

With one half of the deceased Montys down, we have one more to go. Our next entry will cover the final ABC Monty -- Claudio.

Thanks for reading!~ <3

[cornyregans]

GVGP Profile: Antonio Monty

After a quick breather, we're now back to one of the big kahunas in terms of complexity. It's time to cover Antonio Monty.

When it comes to his ancestry, Antonio is the living son of Patrizio and Isabella Monty, as well as the brother of Bianca and the late Claudio Monty. His grandparents include Valentine and Silvia Monty, as well as Vincentio and Francisca Pantalone. Finally, Antonio's great-grandparents are Bassanio and Portia Monty, Angelo and Mariana Capitano, Proteus and Julia Pantalone, and Lucio and Overdone Zanni.

Antonio Monty's genetic profile

Having fathered twins with his late wife, Hero Monty, Antonio will be present in his offsprings' genetic profiles, and will be given a mention whenever necessary.

Skintone

As the son of two S3 parents, Antonio’s S3 skintone makes perfect sense.

Hair Color

If you’ve read through Patrizio and Isabella’s genetic profiles, you would already know that their hair genetics are a mess. In Patrizio’s case, it’s due to contradictory sources, one where he has black hair, and one where he’s a brunet. While both of these hair colors can work, the brunet option is more situational, as we can't truly ascertain what Valentine and Portia Monty's genotypes truly were.

Antonio's Great-Grandparents via Patrizio

SimPE lists Isabella as a blonde, but you will often find her depicted as a brunette (both by fans and in TS3). Unlike Patrizio, Isabella’s problem lies more with her parents’ faulty hair colors (specifically her mother’s). Much like Valentine, Vincentio Pantalone's headshot shows him with black hair despite having one brunet parent, and one with a recessive hair color. Conversely, Francisca has dominant brown hair in her headshot, yet both Lucio and Overdone Zanni had recessive hair colors.

Antonio's Great-Grandparents via Isabella

As you’ve probably figured out, this whole hair thing is incredibly complicated. That said, in the interest of keeping this entry as short as possible, I’m only going to focus on how the following hair combinations affect Antonio’s genetic profile specifically.

Option 1: Black-Haired!Patrizio x Brown-Haired!Isabella: With a black-haired father and a brunette mother, Antonio’s brown hair would make sense.

Option 2: Brown-Haired!Patrizio x Brown Haired!Isabella: Antonio’s brown hair would make sense with two brown-haired parents.

Option 3: Brown-Haired!Patrizio x Blonde-Haired!Isabella: With a brunet father and a blonde mother, Antonio’s brown hair would make sense.

Option 1: Black-Haired!Patrizio x Blonde-Haired!Isabella: With a black-haired father and a blonde mother, Antonio’s brown hair would make sense if we assume Patrizio has a brown allele in his genetic code.

Eye Color

Antonio has two brown-eyed parents. As such, his brown eyes make perfect sense.

As a Whole

Antonio Monty's filled out genetic profile. As you can see, his skintone and eye color both make perfect sense when taking his genetic history into account. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his hair color, which makes sense on the surface, but has too many tangled webs to properly unweave.

Who's Next?

With two-thirds of the ABC Montys covered, our next entry will look at our first member of the "Lear" Capps. Next time, we're going to look at the most family-oriented of the four siblings -- Cordelia.

GVGP Profile: Bianca Monty

Our next sim has what is, up until now, the longest genetic profile covered in this series. Today, we’re going to look at Bianca Monty.

Unlike the sims we've covered so far, Bianca is the first one with three generations of ancestors. This means that her genetic profile will be more complex than what we've seen before.

When it comes to her ancestry, Bianca is the only daughter of Patrizio and Isabella Monty, as well as the sister of Antonio and the late Claudio Monty. Her grandparents include Valentine and Silvia Monty, as well as Vincentio and Francisca Pantalone. Finally, Bianca is the great-granddaughter of Bassanio and Portia Monty, Angelo and Mariana Capitano, Proteus and Julia Pantalone, and Lucio and Overdone Zanni.

Bianca Monty's Genetic Profile

Unlike the sims we've previously covered, Bianca has no children of her own when the game starts. As such, she won't be present in any further entries unless I feel the need to highlight specific aspects of her genetic code.

Skintone

As the daughter of two S3 parents, Bianca’s S3 skintone makes perfect sense.

Hair Color

If you’ve read through Patrizio and Isabella’s genetic profiles, you would already know that their hair genetics are a mess. In Patrizio’s case, it’s due to contradictory sources, one where he has black hair, and one where he’s a brunet. While both of these hair colors can work, the brunet option is more situational, as we can't truly ascertain what Valentine and Portia Monty's genotypes truly were.

Who's Next?

With the biggest profile so far out of the way, we're going to scale back a generation for the next entry. Next time, we're going to cover the sim who could most easily pass as the Unsavory Charlatan -- Cornwall Capp.
