Transformation Glitches

Alright so I kind of posted this almost as a joke as to how ridiculous it was, a neat idea but something that might be added as a silly mod to games, (think Thomas the Tank Engine Deathclaws in Fallout 4)
But I've actually been thinking about it and this concept could be added to the game to influence resistance/receptivity to gene mods and TFs. For instance if you read into stuff you find that species like the Vanae and the Simii are almost immune to genetic drift and TFs; Also there are certain percent chances to how effective a TF will be, or what of your or the other sire's traits your children will have.
So; What if there was an in-game mechanic/modifier that affected the effectiveness of TFs or the likelihood of your traits being passed down to your children?
Let's call it "Stability"
Some ideas that spring to mind for related events to happen, a stable and virile male reproducing with a Myr will be more likely to produce a fertile red Myr or a Myr queen. A very stable male reproducing with a Vanae can kick of a chain where one of the two twins is born a male and you are abducted by the Vanae to explain how you have stolen the Sky Mother's gift from them. (My theory on the Vanae reproductive cycle has gotten way to deep for my own good); (Also I want a Vanae sky village and to "meet" the Vanae Matriarch, Maybe even having the offending maiden banished to travel the stars with you (She loves the Pexiga and you eventually get her functioning eyes), with the fraternal twins taken to the nursery.)
Stability could also still cause the bizarre affects when transforming between two markedly different species, probably on silly mode though; maybe even with an interesting Sera scene where you barge in demanding a refund and see her laugh for the first time.

Now is going against what the story bible says Gene mods work.TFs do NOT effect your children, unless the mod is take by a large population for generations or one takes all kinds of mods daily for almost 200 years. (That last bit is made impossibe to the PC thanks the state-of-the-art "nanomachenes, son" they have.
And this would require some EXTENSIVE writing and good luck trying to match JimT's style for the Vanae bit.
Cheap knock-off mods that produce duds or this sort of descriptor instead of the desired effects come to mind
Exactly.
Edit: But I don't mean just for fluff/flavour, like with most of their currently available products. More like a new line of hastily-released products with high rates of failure and tendencies for weirder transformations than just chococum or black Suma. I'm sure someone out there wants to be a weird human-taur, or other such anomaly. This would be a much easier way to include this idea without creating a boatload of extra work for the code dragon.
