Pfft, this idea is ridiculous to me just by the sheer fact that my relatives (particularly on my mom's side, most of whom are / would be considered Black / African-American) have WILDLY different skin-tones, to the point where people regularly question if we're all related in the first place. The Sims is one of the mediums where race and racial bias simply doesn't exist (at least not as we know it IRL), and that's always been one of the things I appreciate about the series, the freedom to define each sim as you like in regards to ethnicity, culture or background without limitations. I really can't see how grouping skintones by ethnicity would work in game, not to mention the backlash it could potentially lead to. I'm sure you meant well but... nah, just, nah.
EDIT: I also don't really see how it would work from a gameplay perspective, given so many generations of sims being born (assuming you aren't trying to "keep the bloodline pure" or whatever else), would the game bug out because I have, let's say, a "White" sim with an "Asian" skintone or a "Latino" sim with a "Black" skintone? I see no way you could implement such a feature and have it actually consistently work, nor do I see why anybody would want to.
