I guess it was after the skin tones uptade. Please describe the patch or change you made. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.ĭid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Babies shouldn't be lighter or darker than both parents. What do you expect to see? Babies with skin tones similar to their parents, how we're used to see in real life. Their portraits were normal when growing into toddlers. Minor bug: all newborns (4/4) appeared to be black on the portrait, even the pale ones. What happens when the bug occurs? Major bug: babies were born with colors very/somewhat different from their parents skin tones. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make lots of babies with parents of similar skin tones. What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions but Island Living all game packs but vampires, magic and spa day plus knitting, tiny living and laundry. What is your current game version number? 1. How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%) Which language are you playing the game in? English

The game seems to be taking the order of pigments in CAS to be a gradient when they aren't.

Switch between the cool skin tones at the end of the first row and the beginning of the second to see: there's little continuity. But while the baby's skin tone is in the middle of the parents' in the UI, the UI is not in any related order. Technically, the baby with the light cool skin tone is a skin tone 'in the middle of' his parents' if the skin tone selection is read left to right, top to bottom (the two parents' skin tones were at the end of the top two rows of the cool skin tone selection, while the baby's was in the middle of the second row). Now it seems that the game doesn't know how to mix the skin tones in a way that makes sense.

(I checked these skin tones after the offspring aged up into toddlers, so this is an issue unrelated to the small selection of baby skin tones and the noted baby icon bug.)īefore the major skin tone update, I thought genetics was basically 50/50 - a child would get the skin tone of one parent or the other (though I could be wrong). In another non-alien household, two sims with medium cool skin tones had a baby with a light cool skin tone. In another household, a blue-skinned sim (alien hybrid) and a non-occult sim with a medium cool skin tone had a bright red baby (one of the misc. In one household, a green alien and a purple alien had a blue alien baby (through woohoo, not abduction).

I've been getting some weird skin tone genetics happening again - I mostly noticed when I started playing with aliens and alien hybrids.
