Greetings!
Breeding and Custom staff have noticed an increasing trend in some breedings that leave artists with no way to create an offspring while still following the humanoid rules. This can force artists to either break those rules (which include, but are not limited to, Sphinx, Taur, and other humanoid traits) or leave features fully off the offspring outcomes, which could be seen as a mistake, as both parents have that feature. (e.g. both parents have human noses, but the baby has no nose at all.)
We are aware that in the past, pets have passed that broke the humanoid rules for many reasons (e.g. before the rule existed, grandfathered in, or past breedings output these types even when it was being enforced in Gen 1 customs). However, this was never intended to be a workaround to the rules. Under the current team, this standard has been enforced across all custom features, but it can place a significant burden on artists when a breeding pair leaves them with few or no options to create a compliant offspring.
We want to clarify that this is not a new rule, but rather enforcement of a long-standing rule that dates back to 2013 when the humanoid rules were put in place. .
Moving forward, from this new post, any new breeding submitted that does not allow an artist to produce an offspring that will follow custom rules will be refunded if the breeding is a Refundable Breeding Type. If it is not refundable (Pendants), there will be no compensation for lost breedings when using a non-refundable breeding item. Please contact Brad (#2575) before using a non-refundable item with a humanoid pet pair for a quick check if it would be disallowed.
For random breeding games (Eggnog, Blind Date, Drinking Game, etc.), breeding artists will be instructed to make changes as needed to fit the rules. Because participants do not control who they are paired with, artists may make minor adjustments where necessary to bring the offspring into compliance. This may include adding things like fluffy ears rather than human ears, animal noses, or other small changes the parents do not have to replace a rule-breaking pairing. This will be done as minimally as needed to make the offspring pass.
Because this has always been an enforceable rule, existing breedings will also be reviewed under these standards.
If you have an existing breeding that does not allow an artist to produce an offspring that will follow custom rules, we will will be reaching out to you with options to remedy the issue. What is offered will depend on the coin used and what the issue is.
Users with these types of breedings will be given 60 days to reply to that message and pick how they wish to fix the breeding from the options, so they do not lose their place in line. Please be advised that these breedings will not be assigned (and if they are accidentally assigned, they will be unassigned) until a resolution is picked.
After that time, if there is no reply or the user does not pick an approved resolution, staff will move forward with treating the breeding like a new breeding, and it will be refunded if able to be, or marked for predictions only if not refundable and user directed to refer to the original PM for options to return it to queue (or make acceptable predictions), and random breeding games will move forward as outlined under the new breeding terms stated above.
We thank you for understanding, and if you have any questions, reach out to Breeding staff member or message Brad directly.
For reference:
Humanoid Rules
Other Custom rules
If you're not sure what is or is not acceptable, here are a few examples using the images from the KB:
Not Allowed:
Parent 1 has a human-shaped head (Allowed in Isolation), Elf Ear (Allowed in Isolation)
+
Parent 2 has a human-shaped head (Allowed in Isolation), Human Mouth (Allowed in Isolation), No ears (or ears are hidden under hair, etc.)
+
This would potentially force an artist when working on the face and head of a Platinum, Sketch, or Scribble outcome to have a human-shaped head (Allowed in Isolation), Elf Ear (Allowed in Isolation), and, depending on face shape, many human-shaped heads also make human-shaped mouths. This means multiple Allowed in Isolation traits would be required, as there are no other traits present.
This type of breeding would require a 3rd parent to be added with DNA to bring back animal traits, or it would be refunded.
Allowed:
Parent 1 has a human-shaped head (Allowed in Isolation), stand-up fluffy wolf-like ears, elongated wolf-like nose
Parent 2 has Elf ears (Allowed in Isolation), Abdominal muscle (Allowed in Isolation)
+
This would be allowed, though the outcome would only allow one allowed in Isolation trait, but the artist could easily pair a human face with fluffy wolf ears, etc. No overlapping isolation traits are forcing more than one to be used regardless of the coin used.Another USD SCC Has arrived!
