I have a pre pregnant sim in my library to test my baby outfits. I tested them the day we got the new update and had no issues with an old save with three babies already in it, boy, girl and alien. Then I made a new sim and tested a newer darker skintone and it worked perfectly. I was pleased with the results, but Now after I had some Simmers comment that my baby outfits are changing skintones I did a big test and found this ....Its not my baby outfits (big sigh of relieve :p ) But something is definitely fishy. I am testing this more and more thorough as the day goes along. Dark mom had beautiful dark baby ... all goods there ;)Medium mom had dark baby ... mmmm was expecting medium babyWhite mom had light baby ... all goods thereThenAlien mom had light baby ????Even aged up skintone remained, and baby looked a little evil >:) https://i.imgur.com/E9ee45v.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/WIt1c3j.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/TgkdNez.pngNow I did this testing with a complete Vanilla game to rule out my baby outfits as well.I am currently planning on testing more skintones to see what happens, but I would say aliens are a little messed up right now :(

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:Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2F1o-3WTS_Q/WbR8NpvimOI/AAAAAAAAL9I/vIHOUhqlkNwI_VV3cd1BSv6hjSwEKid4gCLcBGAs/s640/15.pnghttps://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2F1o-3WTS_Q/WbR8NpvimOI/AAAAAAAAL9I/vIHOUhqlkNwI_VV3cd1BSv6hjSwEKid4gCLcBGAs/s640/15.pngAnd here is he and his (human) twin brother as babies-so identical that I'm pretty sure I labeled them wrong.Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OAvVzvgV2Ro/WTNqcIc6S6I/AAAAAAAAKzA/5cQEZ1kx9FALeZYkjazK_-Cg5yki7GvsACLcB/s1600/26.pnghttps://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OAvVzvgV2Ro/WTNqcIc6S6I/AAAAAAAAKzA/5cQEZ1kx9FALeZYkjazK_-Cg5yki7GvsACLcB/s1600/26.png 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.

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 LOLYes 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.

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.

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.

Yeah all babies are a bit messed up right now. I tested a few from each skin catagory. I hope they fix it soon :)

Mum and dad was alien. Above I did mention that all testing was done on a completely vanilla game. No cc and no mods.

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.
