What do you expect to see? Very pale toned babies and children when they should be dark skin tones.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I have seen this problem in both households that I am playing, and in households I have never played. I have checked to make sure the parents are both dark skinned, and they are, so I can see no gameplay related reason for this to be happen. I can go into cas and change the babies skin tone to a darker one, but this is a little annoying to do for all of my families, especially with unplayed households having babies all the time.
I also have this issue on my PC, mine will have light skin and orange hair. If you have cc installed it could be why, that’s the only explanation I have come up with.
