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 have checked the unplaced households and seen that the babies are indeed white. They have the same faces as the parents but an incredibly lighter skin tone.
The household I am playing is also having this problem, where the babies are being born very pale. Like I said I can change this in cas, and there’s nothing wrong with white babies but it ruins the story a bit. Let me know if anyone has an explanation or solution.- crinrict5 years agoHero+
