I'm going to archive this thread since skin tones and genetics got work with this patch.
If you still have issues, please create a new thread.
Product: The Sims 4

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.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make lots of babies with parents of similar skin tones.
What happens when the bug occurs? Major bug: babies were born with colors very/somewhat different from their parents skin tones. Minor bug: all newborns (4/4) appeared to be black on the portrait, even the pale ones. Their portraits were normal when growing into toddlers.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I guess it was after the skin tones uptade.
Had 4 babies in different households. Two were normal, one was a little bit darker than their parents and the last one seems quite lighter than her parents (screenshot).
