My sim impregnated a secret alien, she had a black baby which aged into a tanned child. Neither parents were black, though there are black ancestors on the father's side.
- Babies will no longer change skin tone when they are picked up.
Fixed in Patch 1.30.103
Taking feedback if it's still happening with clothing
Are you using custom content, especially skins ?
I'm not using any skins or sim related CC. I am using an anti-culling mod to protect the family ghosts.

Looks to me like the child skin is ok but the baby one is glitch.
Had something similar happen but for me the family tree is screwed up and my Sim has a dark wife that she doesn't know so I wonder if that's the reason the baby was dark. The child is now white as it should be given the correct parents.
I checked the list of reported issues and don't see this but it's possible I overlooked it. My baby's skin color is changing as they are being removed from the bassinet. So far this is only happening to my girls. For the boys there clothes are changing but not their skin color. I attached pictures. I did have custom skins for babies installed so I removed those mods and tested and it still happened. Then I removed my entire sims 4 folder and played through 6 sim days for 2 pregnancies and the same thing happened so I don't believe this is related to mods. This is only happening with the babies born with the medium skintone; they are being changed to the pale skintone when picked up for any interaction. Also its affecting my sims whatever skintone they are, I thought at first it was only happening to my mixed babies (1 parent light, 1 parent dark) but then I had 2 dark parents have a mixed skintone baby changing to pale as well when removed from the bassinet. When they grow up they are all a skintone that they should be IE dark for dark parents and mixed for mixed parents.
I merged your post with this one as it's potentially the same issue. I had removed that from the list as there were no further reports.

I wanted to share some pictures from my game since this has happened for a second time, different family, and it still isn't fixed. In my game, it only happens with female medium-skinned babies. Some people have speculated that it was a shadow, but when you have CC skins that have different shirts, you can clearly see that the skintone file itself is swapping for the lighter one. It's harder to tell on the base game skins because they wear the same shirts, but it's very obvious when the whole shirt changes.
It's like she's holding a whole different baby!
I tested without the CC skins, and it happened with the base game skins too.
It's kind of sad because I wanted to take pictures of this woman with her baby, but it looks like she's holding another sim's baby.
