After years of saying I was going to do it, I finally have headshots for all the Veronaville premades. Not only that, but I ended up redoing all of the screenshots with more accurate renditions of certain sims (mostly some ancestors, but also Cordelia, Caliban, and Hero). A big thank you to carrit on MTS for most of these recreations, as well as Khaemwaset for the new Eleanor Anjou.
I'll be spending the next couple of days updating the images in my older entries. I've reworked all the previews, visual profiles, and "lines of descent" so they all have the updated recreations. In the meantime, I'm going to leave some images showing how the some of the new templates look compared to the old ones.

We’ve just finished covering Cordelia’s children, so now we’re going to finish up with Goneril’s branch. This entry is going to cover the pinkest sim in the group — Desdemona Capp.
When looking at her lineage, Desdemona is a fifth-generation sim on her mother’s side, and a fourth-generation sim on her father’s. She is the middle daughter of Goneril and Albany Capp, and the sister of Miranda, Hal, and Ariel Capp. Desdemona’s grandparents are Contessa and Consort Capp, and Richard and Anne Norman. Her great-grandparents include Scribonia and Octavius Capp, Andromache and Hector Thebe, William and Mathilde Norman, and Henry and Eleanor Anjou. Finally, Desdemona’s great-great-grandparents consist of Cleopatra and Antony Capp, Calpurnia and Julius Caesar, Queen and Eetion Thebe, and Hecuba and Priam Albion.
Desdemona Capp's Genetic Profile
Desdemona Capp's Visual Profile
Given that she's a child when the game starts, Desdemona obviously lacks descendants. As such, her genetic profile likely won't be covered later in the project, unless I decide to write an additional essay where it's relevant.
Skintone
As the child of two S1 parents, both of whom had at least one ancestor with the same complexion, Desdemona’s skintone makes perfect sense.
While both her mother and maternal grandmother had unrecognized skintones back in the day, both have since been patched. As a result of these corrections, a straight line of descent beginning with the Caesar progenitors can now exist without issue. In addition to the Caesars, there are three additional lines consisting of sims with S1 skintones passing the trait down for multiple consecutive generations. In this case, the Thebes, Albions, and Anjous all passed down the S1 skintone from parent to child until the trait eventually reached Desdemona.
The Caesar (A), Thebe (B), Albion (C), and Anjou (D) lines. All of Desdemona’s S1 ancestors were members of, or descended from, at least one of these branches.
Hair Color
Like with other sims in Veronaville, there’s a discrepancy between Desdemona's hair color in the game and the one in SimPE. In Desdemona’s case, she’s a blonde in the game itself; however, a look at SimPE shows that she is programmed to have red hair. While I could jump right in to both of these options, I find that it would be better for us to review Goneril and Albany’s hair colors, as doing so will greatly simplify the process.
Goneril has brown hair in the game, while SimPE lists her as a redhead. When looking through her ancestry, we discovered that both Contessa and Consort Capp also had contradictory hair colors, as both were shown to be blond(e) in storytelling images, yet were programmed to have black hair in SimPE. When looking back at their genetic histories, we were able to determine that black hair would not make sense for either sim, but blond(e) hair would. As a result, we were also able to determine that Goneril doesn’t work as a brunette, but she could have inherited red hair from Consort’s side of the family tree.
Goneril's Paternal Great-Grandparents. Of the four, only Queen Thebe was programmed with red hair.
For Albany, he’s a blond in both the game and in SimPE, so we don’t need to compare and contrast two separate hair colors in his genetic code. When looking at his ancestry, we can see that both of his parents had dominant hair colors; however, his paternal grandfather and maternal grandmother were both blond(e)s. As such, his hair color makes sense if we assume it was just not expressed for a generation.
Albany's Grandparents. Both William Norman and Eleanor Anjou had blond(e) hair before going grey.
In terms of unexpressed alleles in both Goneril and Albany’s genetic codes, both genes could only be for recessive hair colors. In Goneril’s case, she has multiple ancestors with blond(e) hair, so she was most likely heterozygous for red hair. In Albany’s case, he could have been homozygous for blond hair due to lacking any ancestors with red hair.
When looking at each of her parents’ hair colors, Desdemona would make sense as either a blonde (like her in-game appearance) or a redhead (like her SimPE data). If she were a blonde, she could have been either homozygous or heterozygous; however, Desdemona would most likely be heterozygous if she was a redhead. In both cases, however, there wouldn’t be a single line of descent, as both traits would have skipped a generation or two before reaching her.

Eye Color
Like with several of her contemporaries, Desdemona’s eye color is canonically heterozygous. In her case, she has grey eyes; however, SimPE shows that she also has an unexpressed green allele.
When looking at Desdemona’s ancestry, grey and green eyes appear on both sides of her family tree. That said, when looking at how traits have been passed down, it becomes obvious which parent passed down which gene.
Desdemona shares her grey eyes with her mother, and when looking at her family’s genetic history, she’s most likely the one who passed the allele down to her. When looking at Albany’s ancestry, the only grey-eyed sim is Henry Anjou, whose daughter had a dominant eye color despite Henry and his wife having recessive alleles. As such, I would argue that assuming Desdemona’s grey allele came from the Capp side is preferable to a futile attempt at cleaning up the mess on the Norman side.
As for Desdemona’s unexpressed green eyes, those most likely came from her father. This is because Goneril’s only green-eyed ancestor was Hector Thebe, a sim whose grandchildren all had either grey or light blue eyes. While it is possible he could have passed a green allele down to his descendants, said possibility relies on numerous hypotheticals that it would be safer to assume that the green eyes came from the Norman side.
As a Whole
Desdemona Capp’s filled out genetic profile. Her skintone makes perfect sense. Both hair colors make sense when we implement hypothetical genetics in her ancestry, and assume they skipped a generation of two. Finally, Desdemona’s eye color makes sense by implementing hypothetical genetics on her mother’s side, whereas her unexpressed eye color works when we assume it skipped a generation on her father’s side.
Who's Next?
Now that all of the Capps have been covered, the rest of this batch consists solely of Montys. Up next is the youngest living Monty present when you boot up Veronaville -- Benedick.
With two sims down, today’s entry is going to cover the only Veronaville sim with a custom hair color which you can't see in the preview because Body Shop is a big dumb meanie — Miranda Capp.
When looking at her lineage, Miranda is a fifth-generation sim on her mother’s side, and a fourth-generation sim on her father’s. She is the eldest daughter of Goneril and Albany Capp, and the older sister of Hal, Desdemona, and Ariel Capp. Miranda’s grandparents are Contessa and Consort Capp, and Richard and Anne Norman. Her great-grandparents include Scribonia and Octavius Capp, Andromache and Hector Thebe, William and Mathilde Norman, and Henry and Eleanor Anjou. Finally, Miranda’s great-great-grandparents consist of Cleopatra and Antony Capp, Calpurnia and Julius Caesar, Queen and Eetion Thebe, and Hecuba and Priam Albion.

Skintone
As the child of two S1 parents, both of whom had at least one ancestor with the same complexion, Miranda’s skintone makes perfect sense.

The Caesar (A), Thebe (B), Albion (C), and Anjou (D) lines. All of Miranda’s S1 ancestors were members of, or possessed ancestry from, at least one of these branches.
Hair Color
Like with her mother, there’s a discrepancy between Miranda’s hair color in the game and the one in SimPE. In Miranda’s case, she has custom hair when the game starts; however, her blonde eyebrows hint that she’s meant to be a natural blonde in the final product. Despite this, a look at SimPE shows that she is programmed to have red hair. While I could jump right in to both of these options, I find that it would be better for us to review Goneril and Albany’s hair colors, as doing so will greatly simplify the process.
Goneril has brown hair in the game, while SimPE lists her as a redhead. When looking through her ancestry, we discovered that both Contessa and Consort Capp also had contradictory hair colors, as both were shown to be blond(e) in storytelling images, yet were programmed to have black hair in SimPE. When looking back at their genetic histories, we were able to determine that black hair would not make sense for either sim, but blond(e) hair would. As a result, we were also able to determine that Goneril doesn’t work as a brunette, but she could have inherited red hair from Consort’s side of the family tree.
Goneril’s Paternal Great-Grandparents. Of the four, only Queen Thebe was programmed with red hair.
For Albany, he’s a blond in both the game and in SimPE, so we don’t need to compare and contrast two separate hair colors in his genetic code. When looking at his ancestry, we can see that both of his parents had dominant hair colors; however, his paternal grandfather and maternal grandmother were both blond(e)s. As such, his hair color makes sense if we assume it was just not expressed for a generation.
Albany’s Grandparents. Both William Norman and Eleanor Anjou had blond(e) hair before going grey.
In terms of unexpressed alleles in both Goneril and Albany’s genetic codes, both genes could only be for recessive hair colors. In Goneril’s case, she has multiple ancestors with blond(e) hair, so she was most likely heterozygous for red hair. In Albany’s case, he's probably homozygous for blond hair due to lacking any ancestors with red hair.
When looking at each of her parents’ hair colors, Miranda would make sense as either a blonde (like her in-game appearance suggests) or a redhead (like her SimPE data). If she were a blonde, she could have been either homozygous or heterozygous; however, Miranda would most likely be heterozygous if she was a redhead. In both cases, however, there wouldn’t be a single line of descent, as both traits would have skipped a generation or two before reaching her.

Eye Color
Like with the previous two sims, Miranda’s eye color is canonically heterozygous. In her case, she has grey eyes; however, SimPE shows that she also has an unexpressed green allele.
When looking at Miranda’s ancestry, grey and green eyes appear on both sides of her family tree. That said, when looking at how traits have been passed down, it becomes obvious which parent passed down which gene.
Miranda shares her grey eyes with her mother, and when looking at her family’s genetic history, she’s most likely the one who passed the allele down to her. When looking at Albany’s family history, the only grey-eyed sim in his ancestry is Henry Anjou, a sim whose daughter had a dominant eye color despite having parents with recessive alleles. As such, I would argue that assuming Miranda’s grey allele came from the Capp side is preferable to a futile attempt at cleaning up the mess on the Norman side.
As for Miranda’s unexpressed green eyes, those most likely came from her father. This is because Goneril’s only green-eyed ancestor was Hector Thebe, a sim whose grandchildren all had either grey or light blue eyes. While it is possible he could have passed a green allele down to his descendants, said possibility relies on numerous hypotheticals that it would be safer to assume that the green eyes came from the Norman side.
As a Whole
Miranda Capp’s filled out genetic profile. Her skintone makes perfect sense. Both hair colors make sense when we implement hypothetical genetics in her ancestry, and assume they skipped a generation of two. Finally, Miranda’s eye color makes sense by implementing hypothetical genetics on her mother’s side, whereas her unexpressed eye color works when we assume it skipped a generation on her father’s side.
Who’s Next?
Up next is the only sim in the batch who has maxed out a skill — Tybalt Capp.
And with that, all of the Capps have been covered. As such, today's entry will focus on the last male in the patrilineal Monty family -- Benedick Monty.
When looking at his lineage, Benedick is a fifth-generation sim on his father's side, and a fourth-generation sim on his mother's. He is the son of Antonio and the late Hero Monty, and the younger twin brother of Beatrice Monty. Benedick’s grandparents are Patrizio and Isabella Monty, and Trinculo and Maria Arlecchino. His great-grandparents include Valentine and Silvia Monty, Vincentio and Francisca Pantalone, Stephano and Quickly Arlecchino, and Petruchio and Katharina Amantes. Finally, Benedick’s great-great-grandparents consist of Bassanio and Portia Monty, Angelo and Mariana Capitano, Proteus and Julia Pantalone, and Lucio and Overdone Zanni.
Benedick Monty's Genetic Profile
Benedick Monty’s Visual Profile
Given that he's a child when the game starts, Benedick obviously lacks descendants. As such, his genetic profile likely won't be covered later in the project, unless I decide to write an additional essay where it's relevant.
Skintone
As the son of two S3 parents, both of whom had at least one ancestor with the same complexion, Benedick's skintone makes perfect sense.
When looking at his family tree, there are three separate branches -- specifically the Capitano, Pantalone, and Amantes lines -- where the S3 complexion was both passed down and expressed every generation. On his father’s side, the Capitano progenitor with the S3 skintone was Angelo Capitano, whereas the Pantalones who originally possessed this complexion were Proteus and Julia. As for his mother’s ancestors, the one who initially had the S3 skintone, and passed it down to her offspring, was Katharina Amantes.
Benedick's skintone was expressed in the Capitano (A) and Pantalone (B) lines for five consecutive generations, and the Amantes (C) line for four.
In addition to the aforementioned sims, both of the male Monty and Zanni progenitors, as well as Quickly Arlecchino, also possessed the S3 skintone; however, they all produced S2 children with their respective spouses.
Hair Color
As the son of a brunet father and a black-haired mother, Benedick's black hair makes complete sense. When looking at his family’s genetic history, we can see that Benedick’s black hair has been passed down through the Arlecchino side of his family from the beginning.
A: A line of descent showing four generations worth of black hair, starting with Stephano Arlecchino and ending with Benedick.
Besides his Arlecchino ancestors, one of Benedick's Amantes ancestors (in this case, Petruchio) also shared a hair color with him. Additionally, Maria Arlecchino received an allele for brown hair from Katharina Amantes, so Petruchio could have given his daughter an allele for black hair without mucking things up. As such, it’s also possible that Petruchio’s allele was the one that made its way to Benedick instead.
While black hair has always been present on Benedick’s mother’s side of the family tree, the same can be said for his father’s. As mentioned in previous entries, the trait has been present in the Capitano line since the first generation, and Antonio not exhibiting it shouldn’t mean it was impossible for him to pass it down. As such, it’s also likely that Benedick’s black hair could have instead come from Mariana Capitano.
In addition to his expressed allele for black hair, Benedick also has an unexpressed allele for brown hair in his genetic code. Not only that, but a look at his genetic history shows it could have come from either side of his family tree.
Let’s begin by taking the path of least resistance — that being that the allele originally belonged to one of Benedick’s maternal ancestors. When looking at Hero's grandparents, both Quickley Arlecchino and Katharina Amantes had brown hair before they hit elderhood. In addition, Katharina’s daughter Maria inherited her hair color as a dominant trait, while Quickley’s son Trinculo most likely received her hair color as a recessive trait. As such, Benedick’s recessive allele could have just as easily come from either the Arlecchino or Amantes branches.
While Benedick’s allele for brown hair can be explained without a problem if we assume it came from Hero, assuming Antonio passed it down is a different story. While said trait makes complete sense on paper, it has the unfortunate side-effect of originating from the Monty family’s genetic dumpster fire. As such, the rest of this section might get a little messy as I attempt to explain just how this trait came to be.
When reviewing Benedick's paternal great-grandparents, we’ve already determined that there’s no logical way either Silvia, or Francisca could have realistically passed down a brown allele to their descendants. In the end, it ultimately comes down to Valentine and Vincentio, two black-haired sims with one brunet parent and one parent with a recessive hair color.
As the daughter of a red-haired father and a black-haired mother, Silvia could potentially make sense as a natural brunette. That said, making her one would make it difficult to explain how some of her descenants could end up with Mariana's hair color.
Despite what her headshot would have us believe, Francisca would not make sense as a natural brunette if she was Lucio and Overdone's biological child.
As stated in their entries, Valentine and Vincentio could logically have had natural black hair if we hypothesized that their respective brunet(te) parents had an unexpressed allele for the trait. That said, when looking at Antonio's (and Bianca’s) genetic profile, we now know that at least one of the two had to have gotten a dye job. If it was Valentine who dyed his hair, then Patrizio would have been able to pass an allele for brown hair down to his descendants. Conversely, if it was Vincentio, then Isabella would have been the one to supply the trait to future generations of Montys. At this point, determining where the allele came from only really matters if you have a particular hair color headcanon for Patrizio or Isabella.
If Valentine was a natural brunet, he would have inherited his hair color from Portia.
If Vincentio was a natural brunet, he would have inherited his hair color from Proteus.
Eye Color
Unlike his brown-eyed twin sister, Benedick’s eye color is dark blue. That said, because both of his parents have (or had) dominant brown eyes, Benedick’s eye color can make sense if we look at it the right way.
First, we can look at his known ancestors for a match. In this case, Benedick’s only known dark blue-eyed ancestor is Proteus Pantalone; however, Proteus being the source of Benedick’s dark blue eyes contradicts both Vincentio Pantalone’s and Claudio Monty’s genetic codes. When looking at the rest of his paternal ancestors for any hypothetical genetics, it becomes unlikely that the allele originated from Antonio’s side of the family tree. This is because Patrizio and Isabella each need a brown allele to explain their shared eye color, as well as recessive alleles to explain Claudio’s.
This failed detour through Montyland leaves us with the Arlecchino and Amantes side of Benedick’s family tree. Unlike her husband’s ancestors, both of Hero’s parents and three of her four grandparents had brown eyes. That said, given that Katharina Amantes had a recessive eye color, the phantom dark blue allele could not have originated from her or her husband. This is because Petruchio passing down anything but a brown allele wouldn’t make sense with Maria Arlecchino’s genetic profile.
Removing the Amantes line leaves us with the source of Benedick’s dark blue eyes being either Stephano or Quickley Arlecchino. As previously stated, both sims had brown eyes, so only one of them would have needed to pass down a brown allele to explain Trinculo’s eye color. As such, either Stephano or Quickley could have passed down a dark blue allele to Trinculo, who would pass one down to Hero, and eventually Benedick.
As a Whole
Benedick Monty's filled-out genetic profile. His skintone makes perfect sense when looking at both sides of his family tree, while his eye color works if we implement hypothetical genetics. Finally, Benedick's expressed and unexpressed hair genes make sense, but there's a lot of crap that needs to be sorted out to explain how they work.
Who's Next?
Having finished covering one of Antonio Monty's twins, our next entry will cover the other one. Up next is Patrizio and Isabella's only granddaughter -- Beatrice Monty.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
