Baby alien skintone not right.

Yeah, that is definitely a bug. It is possible for a full-blooded alien to be born with human skin as a result of genetic mixing (I've got one in my game) but that doesn't seem like what is going on here. For starters, your mom was straight out of CAS (at least, that's how I interpreted the post). Also, the fact that the baby is wearing the alien onesie indicates to me that they were supposed to have alien skin. (Yes, that is what the alien baby outfit has always looked like. It just looks really, really bad on a human skin tone.)

When my little genetic oddity was born in my game, he wore the standard baby onesie (or rather, a default replacement I had installed) until he became a toddler, at which point he aged into the standard alien diaper. He's been fully alien ever since.

This is him aging up:


And here is he and his (human) twin brother as babies-so identical that I'm pretty sure I labeled them wrong.


So while it is technically possible to have an alien with human skin, it doesn't look like that's what's happening here. There seems to be an issue with genetics as a whole at the moment, so I'm not surprised that aliens are affected too.

I did a whole test of alien baby skin outcomes using MCCC pregnancies cheats yesterday since one of the skin tones we used to be able to choose for aliens is missing as a selectable option but still showing up in sims who already have it and randomized aliens. And more often than not, I was getting weird new human skin tones instead of alien colors. I don't know how much genetics usually affects aliens, but this was just a complete hot, random mess.

Yeah aliens definitely needs some fixing, something went seriously wrong with the skintone update. I noticed the white option was not there, I loved that one but then started doubting myself wondering if it ever existed, so truly hope you talking about the white one too LOL

Yes I am! The light blue white one. Here's one of my sims who has fortunately still kept it despite it not existing as a selectable color. I think it might be my favorite one actually, will be bummed if it ends up being deleted from the game

Ok so here is my first test, was not as easy as I thought, Sim C wanted to have twins and cancelled other pregnancies because of it, so I had to load the game several times and make sure she does not get near a crib until the others had their babies LOL.

Tested the warm skintones first. Picked the last ones on each line that I could.

Here is pics of mums and their bubs with the skintone picked in cas. Will put it in spoilers so I don't kill someones internet

Sim A (I think a lighter baby would have been better)


Sim B (I think this bub is perfect)


Sim C (sorry about green smog in mom's face. Baby had a dirty nappy, but I thought the baby could have been a teensy bit lighter. Like an inbetween medium and dark. You can see it if you look at mum's hands


Sim D (This bub is perfect)

I have tested the second batch of skintones, its the neutral ones, also picked the last one on each line

As before I will put the pics in spoilers to not overwhelm the slower internet connections.


Sim A (baby could be a smitch darker)


Sim B (a bit on the wall with this one, looks ok, but perhaps a teensy bit darker)


Sim C (perfect bub)


Sim D (perfect bub)

Testing the misc skintones, the first four

Sim A (perfect)


Sim B (perfect)


Sim C (not right, but look at the babies profile pic, now that is puzzling)


Sim D (both profile pic and actual baby not right skintone)

All of these tests were done with a completely Vanilla game. No cc or mods whatsoever. ;)
Happy simming all <3
Hope this gets fixed soon, otherwise we might have some weird interesting gameplay happening LOL

From what i've seen around the forums its not just the aliens that are having this problem. All sims genetics seem to be a bit bugged after the new skin tone patch. The gurus have tweeted that they are aware of the problem and are looking in to it.

Here is what happened with one of my most recent, fully human babies:

And here is how she looked in the profile:

I made a copy of her (for reasons I explain in a different thread.) When I aged up the original and the copy, they had red skin. Here is a picture of the copy with the traits the game assigned her.
