    @elsabjorntorp011  It sounds like the mother is missing a custom skin, and the baby is inheriting it from her.  You can try installing just that skin, nothing else, in the clean folder, and see if you can get through the birth again.

    However, it's possible that the skin itself is the issue, as in, the game crashes when it's applied to the baby.  So if the game crashes when the mother is wearing the skin, you'll need to change her skin before birth, or else change both of theirs after birth.  Pregnant sims can't be taken into CAS without a mod, but if you're interested in using one, NRaas MasterController would allow you to do it.  Click on the mother and select NRaas > MasterController > Advanced > Edit in CAS.  Or if the mother can't be clicked because she's in labor, click on City Hall or an in-game computer and select NRaas > MC > Sim > Advanced > Edit in CAS, and select the mother.

      @elsabjorntorp011  When is the game crashing?  Do your new sims use custom skins, and have you tried reassigning the skins?
