[FIXED] Baby icon/household picture different colour than Sim

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.70.84.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I opened the game after the update (the one that was released 16 hours ago). I went to my family where there is twin babies. Both parents are quite fair of skin tone. The sim icon of the babies however decided that the babies needed more colour. When i looked at the cribs, the babies were still fair skinned, so it's just the icon. I'm all for diversity, but I wouldn't like my sim being accused of cheating by her husband.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing much, babies just seem like they have a different daddy.
What do you expect to see? The skin colour of the icon matching the actual babies.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Repaired game yesterday after game froze. Updated all drivers and updated game today with latest patch.

    This happened to me as well, I thought it was my mods so I deleted those but it still seems to be happening. Even weirder, when they age up into toddlers they look nothing like their parents. Is anyone else having that issue too?

    I had the same issue.  2 blue people had twins and I was surprised to see the babies show up in the icon as dark black skinned but when I actually found the babies in the house they were blue.  Then a blue and white sim had twins and the were both white in their icon and white in the game for about a sim hour until their icon also changed to dark black skin.  I also noticed when looking thought my unplayed families (I have mccc commander so babies get made automatically) ever sim holding a baby had a dark black skinned baby no mater the skin tone of the parent.  I asked in the form and a lot of people having the same issue.  The children themselves are the correct color but the picture in the family icon and load screen are not.

    Same problem. It happened right after the update with a new save. All of the thumbnails for all of my families with babies show a baby with a dark skin tone, no matter what the baby actually looks like.

    Here's screenshots of my Household Manager, to show how it's everyone in the worlds.

    I do have MCCC and it's set to force pregnancies in non-played households. However, it's also happening with my played family too, with their alien baby.

    Yup same for me. Different households. All babies have very dark skin in their icon and family profile. But look light skinned in their cribs

    I'm having the same issue with the baby skin tones on the icon being darker skin and the parents are both white, the only mod I have is MCCC that adjust anything for babies. I don't play with babies/kids much so I'm not sure when it could have happened in my game.

    P.S. I wanted to add that the babies skin tone in the bassinet is white but the icon is dark skin tone, even if the parents are holding the babies the icon stays dark tone.
