All the Baby Icons are black skinned

anyone else or just me? I noticed it first when looking through my unplayed households. Everyone who had a baby had the darkest skin tone baby in the pictures. Then I had twins with 2 blue skinned kids and wondered by from the icon they had dark skinned black babies but he babies were actually blue. A second set of twins were born and their icon was white but after a Sim hour or so their icons had also turned to black. They have black skin on the family tree too. It only seems to be in the infant stage right now but I am wondering why it's happening.

Yeah, I have this, too. I haven't checked it without mods yet, so I don't know if it's because of a mod or not. I don't have any mods that affects babies, though...

I have this too! Thought it was just my game being wonky since the sim babies in question were aliens and spellcasters.

Think it's a new bug from the latest patch, I've seen tons of people say the same in the past two days.

Yeah I have this too. I tried repair my game two times and it's still the same.

I also have the same bug! When you go into the household the baby is appropriately skinned however.

Just noticed this today as well, though I have had weird baby glitches due to my baby skin overlay and also my invisible bassinet, though it appears that this might not be related to that if a lot of people are experiencing it?

If you haven’t played the household since the skin tone update that’s why it looks like that. The game isn’t sure what tone to assign to the preview. Once you load the household your baby should look normal in game, and once you leave the household they will look normal in the preview.
