Mod Overview

Please note that strange or unintended results are to be expected. Scroll to the Known Issues section to learn more about the currently known limitations of this mod.

Cloning Machine Overhaul is, as its name implies, an overhaul of the Get To Work cloning machine. It adds a new ‘Cloning Settings’ category to the cloning machine. This category allows to select, before cloning a sim, a variety of parameters that will directly affect the resulting clone.

For example: The creator could be an elder male and by accessing the cloning machine’s parameters and changing the age to ‘Child’, the family tie to ‘Offspring’ and the gender to ‘female’, the resulting clone would be a female child who would be considered as the creator’s daughter! There are a ton of possibilities!

Here is a list of features that are currently available:

Settings	Options	Description
Life Stage	Toddler, Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, Elder	Determines the age at which the clone will be created. Automatic will use the creator’s age.
Gender	Automatic, Male, Female	Determines the clone’s gender. Automatic will use the creator’s gender.
Sex	Automatic, Male, Female	Determines the clone’s body gender. e.g. The clone’s gender could be male but their physical frame could be female.
Relationship Type	Offspring, Sibling	Determines whether the clone will be seen as their creator’s sibling or offspring.
DNA Cloning	N/A	DNA samples obtained from sims can be used with the cloning machine to create clones.

Requirements

Cloning Machine Overhaul requires Get To Work.

Installation

Remove any existing package and/or script file(s) from previous version(s) of the mod. Extract the new package and/or script file(s) from the archive. Then, drag and drop the newly extracted file(s) in the mods folder of The Sims 4.

Known Issues

Clones created using the offspring relationship type setting are uncontrollable and leave the lot immediately after spawning. Entering Manage Worlds and returning to the same family properly adds the clone to the household.
Clones with a different sex/gender than the original sim are spawned with the incorrect body mesh. Entering CAS and saving without making any changes will make the game load the proper body mesh and the clone will subsequently have the visually intended sex/gender.
