Fixed in Patch 1.96.365/1.71
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions except Eco Lifestyle and Snowy Escape. All Game Packs except Spa Day, Jungle Adventure, and Dream Home Decorator. All Stuff Packs except Luxury Party, Spooky, Kids Room, Backyard, Fitness, My First Pet, and Paranormal.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? From the base game when the parent sims have babies and from Parenthood Stuff Pack, when the parent sim is at level 6 skill parenting.
What happens when the bug occurs? First, from the base game, when the sim has a baby, its skin is black in the icon below with the other sims instead of a white baby in the UI I think. Second, from the Parenthood Stuff Pack, when the baby cries, its supposed to show a bubble of why its crying and its not showing at all, even when the sim has level 6 parenting skill.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see that the baby has the same skin as the parents for the icon on the bottom left that shows every sim in the household and I want to be able to see the reason why the baby is crying and what it needs from the Parenting Skill level 6.
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 already tried repairing the game and taking all my mods and cc out, but it doesn't fix my issues with the baby icon showing black baby instead of white and the baby isn't showing why its crying and what it needs. I really wish that you would address these issues and fix them please. Getting really tired of seeing baby icon showing black instead of white and not seeing what the baby needs when crying. These pictures shown what I'm seeing. Second picture shows when baby is crying, it doesn't show a bubble telling what it wants. Hope y'all can fix this even though you just released a bug patch for some other stuff. Thanks.
Is anyone still having an issue with this? My current sim family had a baby after yesterday's patch and his thumbnail shows the proper skin tone. Perhaps there was a fix included in that patch? I'm playing version PC: 1.77.146.1030.
I'm still having this issue. I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It's very annoying and it makes me not wanna play.
Can anyone confirm if alien babies are still as completely broken as they appeared to be in Pleasant Sims' alien pregnancy comparison video? You just need to see what happened to believe it. I've skipped ahead to the segment here. We have: The alien baby not getting an alien bassinet like he's supposed to, the alien baby having a human skintone when not disguised, and the Pollination Technician that is his other parent looking totally human.
