Skin Tones NEED an update. Genetics NEED fixing

My personally issue with the new skintones is that cool and neutral tones aren't organized correctly. If you start from the lightest tone of either category you see the tones go from light medium to dark and then jump to a light tone done.

Why is there a dark tone so early in the list? I think they did this because of specific shades but it messes up genetics when there is a "dark" tone it in the middle of the light tone. If I two sim parents one light and one medium the baby has a chance of turing into that dark tone just because it sit in the middle of them when in reality it should be with the other dark tones. Even when you look at the darker tones they aren't organized correctly. I see dark shades jumping from medium dark to dark then medium dark again and then dark dark to to dark.

I want the swatches to look like scale going from lightest to darkest. Specific shades can makes this dark when you have one tone that is redder or bluer then the ones next to it but it's better then tones lightest/darkest jumping all over the place.

Also I'd like warm and cool tones to be dominate but when mixed together they make a neutral and neutral to be overall recessive if possible.

I've found the "cool" skin tones to look horrible in the game's lighting; two of my sims, both of whom had stock "warm" skin tones, ended up with a kid who was so pale that he looked like a corpse. I had to go into CAS and fix that before someone hit the kid in the head with a cricket bat.

From what I have found sims with cool tone skin look more natural with the "new" hair colors. I gave the Bjergsen a makeover and gave them all cool pale skin to help make them look more swedish/nordic and originally looked too blue and lifeless but once I swapped their original blonde for one of the new ones they looked natural and alive.

One of the issues is that the original colors and the colors of the game generally are that they are too warm and bright that pale and cool colors stand out horribly.

Honestly I think it's too many skintones for the gane to even calculate PLUS the sliders. No sims game has ever had 1000 skin tones. Just basically a few variations of dark brown, medium brown and white.

What explains the green eyes though? None of the parents have green eyes.

I consider this to be a bug. The majority of my family members have green eyes, despite parents not having such.

Whereas I keep getting black parents that have blond blue eyed children. So I'm with you folks on bug. I think the 'genetics system' doesn't know how to handle hair and eye color very well. Some things it gets right - but other things it gets wrong with repeated consistency.

Yeah, genetics is broken, its not as badly broken as it was right after the skin tone update, but its still off. To me its especially noticeable if one parent is a supernatural.

Been having this issue for awhile too! If I recall correctly the newborn/baby sims had been bugged out since the skin tone update as well

Baby genetics are really buggy. Has to do that babies literally only have four human skin tones. Alien babies thankfully have less issues with genetics now than they use to and the sounds they make are adorable so why I prefer playing with them. Why babies being changed to life stage would help a lot because of how frequent the genetics glitch on them. Bug has been occurring since 2014 so since the game came out.

I know this bug isn't always mod related but the invisible crib mod seems to cause it with this report.

I found this thread too:

When the skin tones were updated last year, there were problems at first and PleasantSims made a video about it. She mentioned that in a previous eye color update, genetics for one eye color could result in that color or one of the newer eye colors. For example, if you gave your sim purple eyes, their child could inherit the purple or the pink eye color (This explains why that was happening in my game). So each new eye color was attached genetically to one of the original eye colors. I wonder if that is the source of the confusion over where the green eye color came from.

Are you sure he’s the dad? ?
