have you had a baby change color?

weird question I know. my sim recently surprised me with twins and at the hospital, one was blue and one was green (their father is half-alien). however, when we got home they were both green. now papa is green so I will say the blue threw me for a loop but having the baby change color on the ride home is even more confusing. I've also had an alien change hair color aging up from toddler to child. is this a weird quirk/bug experienced specifically by aliens? or am I incapable of properly seeing color? is my lighting wonky. . . I don't know what the deal is.

the visual evidence:

  • Now I'm wondering if I'm colorblind. All the babies in those pictures look blue to me, even though the dad is clearly green.
  • I feel like I'm going crazy. they're both blue now! maybe they were blue all along and my eyes are just janked up. . . but then why are they blue when their dad is green? I'm so confused.
  • That is a bit strange, does he have any relatives? Like a father, mother, or sibling with a different skin tone than green?
  • Just a note that my sim (father) was green while the mom was human skinned and four of six of his children ended up blue and the other two human colored <3 Here is one of the parents and then three of their children <3

    I was pretty confused when they were babies too but I couldn't see it any other way now1





  • ooh thanks for the post! maybe mixing with a human skintone is why it varies like that? I'll have to pop my couple into CAS eventually and see how the colors manage. for now though no more baby making. . . surprised me with twins on top of their four dogs :# it's a painfully full house rn

    lmao yeah now that I look at the second pic they don't even look very green! maybe it's the lighting in their baby room? now I need to boot back up and check.

    his mother is green and he has a twin brother who is also green. his dad is just regular human. hm. I'm also realizing that the color debacle is probably on my end. I think f.lux was making the colors look weird because it dims my monitor at night. as for the blue, that's still a mystery to me. maybe being part alien means all the alien skintones are up for grabs genetically. that's my best guess!

    That's teal to me, which is blue-green.


    honestly, I've never made an alien in CAS so I had no idea what their skintone range was (until now) but you're right on that! turns out they're not the blue I've seen before and instead are a different shade I hadn't seen altogether.
