Modding likelihood of hereditary traits?

[Invader_Canuck]

Does anyone know if it is possible to mod the chance for hereditary traits like genious or strong to be passed on?

Pretty sure DNA is hard coded and we don't even know the birth pulse (except for bastards, for some reason). However, there are a few ways to create a hack method using events.

I've actually been playing with this and I don't think its unreasonable.
Most hereditary traits shouldn't be obvious on birth, sure severe deformity will be, but attractive, genius, dwarf, etc you're going to be clueless. So I'm playing with implementing them as growing up traits. At that point you just need to do a parent check (I'm only checking one generation but I've got plans to do two or three) and throw an event that says you inherited your 'x's blah trait.

This is implemented, via event, in my tweaks mod. Structure is a very high-probability event with a long string of

			if = {
				limit = {
					father_even_if_dead = { trait = clubfooted }
				}
				random = {
					chance = 40
					add_trait = clubfooted
				}					
			}
			if = {
				limit = {
					mother = { trait = clubfooted }
				}
				random = {
					chance = 40
					add_trait = clubfooted
				}					
			}
			if = {
				limit = {
					father_even_if_dead = { trait = harelip }
				}
				random = {
					chance = 40
					add_trait = harelip
				}					
			}

So on and so forth. Uses a flag to close itself off after firing once.
