Baby Glitch?

I saw a video by Pixelade regarding new information from modders about updated babies, and someone made a comment about how she just had a baby at the hospital and the baby appeared to have more facial expressions and was dressed in a onsie and socks.

I have never had a baby in TS4 so I wanted to test it. I used MCCC to start pregnancy with a sim I created and it gave me some random men who I could choose to be the father.

My sim is a black female and I picked a red-headed white male as the father.

When I clicked "Have baby at Hospital" (or however it was phrased), I did not get the loading screen to actually physically go to the hospital, a bassinet just appeared and the baby was in it.

What I thought was strange was this:

When I looked in the bassinet after it appeared, I noted that the baby is a blonde haired, blue eyed white baby. I'm thinking ok, dad's genes were more dominant I guess and didn't think anything more about it, since dad was white.

But when mom picked her up, she turned into a bald black baby.

Each time she was laid back in the bassinet, she would revert back to the white baby and each time she was picked up out of the bassinet, she turned back into the black baby.

Besides some CC Clothes and hairs, I have no other CC or mods besides MCCC in my game since this is a new TS4 folder and save I generated for the SE pack. I don't have any type of CC skins or overlays in my game right now either.

Is this normal?

Since I've never had a baby in TS4 I didn't know if that always happens and the default bassinet baby is always white?

****NOTE****

I Just noticed that her clothes are even different. In the crib it looks like she has a one-piece sleeper or something on that has long sleeves and fully covered legs, when mom is holding her, she has a short sleeve onsie on with nothing on the legs.

EDIT:

Ok I moved baby and mom into a different part of the house and added more lights thinking it might have been a shadow, but the baby in the crib is definitely not the one she is holding.

Even the eyes are totally different, I don't mean color-wise, but the crib baby has "real" eyes and the holding baby has really fake looking eyes.

I have never used MCCC could it be possible using it caused the bug? but seeing as this is Sims 4 it would not surprise me if they caused this.
Also I think Michael Jackson made a song about this baby.

Yes, it is quite possible that caused it. Not sure why or how the clothes, skin and eyes on the two babies would be different tho.

To me it looks like you have outdated baby default replacement somewhere in your folder. Specifically THIS one. Just compare the pics. So you just need to locate and delete it. Still info about updated babies is interesting. I didn't see the video. Will take a look now.

Darn, I was excited until I looked at the pictures on the baby replacement mod's web page. It does look like a mod. I'm still hopeful that something interesting will happen soon with babies, though.

Honestly code snippet found by RVSHN (as Pixelade video mentioned) is much more exciting but not that impressively looking ))) At this point I really wish they overhaul babies including the look since before Nifty Knitting I used baby replacement too and now it's broken.

Wow! That is very eerily similar! But, the thing is I have never, ever downloaded anything for babies ...... ever. I have never even had a pregnant sim until I tested tonight, so I'm not sure how that would have ended up in my mods folder.

This is a newly generated game folder from 3 days ago. The only mods in my game right now are MCCC and some female clothes and hair, nothing else.

I might be wrong but it looks like you might have an outdated baby outfit. When I first made baby outfits I had to physically paint each outfit on each skin like this ...

But ever since nifty knitting you have the outfit seperately like this ...

So I think what is happening, is the outfit was painted on a white skin baby. That outfit is in your crib package. But the maxis baby is the clothing part, with the new outfits you have a holding baby outfit and a baby in crib outfit. I know it sounds a little confusing, but basically you have conflicting happening with an outdated and a new outfit or baby default skintone.

I hope this helps you out in some way ;)

Yes, I'm familiar with how the bassinets and baby clothing work, I'm a CC creator and looked extensively into how to create a functioning bassinet without having to override the default one.

But, the thing is I have NEVER, EVER, not once played with babies. I have never downloaded anything for babies or even had a pregnant sim until tonight so that is what was so confusing to me. I had testers try out my bassinet to see if it would function because I didn't even know how to have a baby.

Wonder why it would conflict when this is a brand new, just created TS4 in my documents from 3 days ago, and I've only been renovating houses, I haven't even played besides creating my family, and they were created with a toddler in CAS, no pregnancy.
