It's the babies, too. I have no mods. I created one parent. She mated with Malcolm Landgraab. His parents are both light-skinned and blonde haired. She is light skinned and brown hair. The baby came out at least 4 shades darker than her skin. If the algorithms are done correctly, its black hair doesn't matter. I had black hair as a baby - a head full of it. It turned redish, then blonde as a child and teen, then turned dark brown as an adult. My eldest daughter's hair did the same thing.
Please do not try to tell me that there is a dark-skinned person in the Landgraab family. In real life, this sort of thing can happen, but is VERY rare. In a game, when I create my gal and mate with someone, whose parents I can clearly see, I should not be getting children that look utterly unrelated to my sims. I didn't have them adopt. Now I will need to restore a save and see if that is already locked in. If so, I will have to restore to before they got pregnant.
Are there any mods to fix this issue?
Just to be clear: I would feel just as irritated, if my dark-skinned people mated with other dark-skinned people and got white babies or blonde babies, or my Asians and Latinos facing the same circumstances. If I want pot-luck, I would adopt.
Just a note to follow-up. I re-tried and got twins. One was properly black and the other sickly white - whiter than the Landgraabs. When I aged them up, they both turned out with skin the color of Malcolm Landgraab and blonde hair about his color. This is very poorly programmed. I was shocked to have children from the Village of the Damned given what they looked like as babies. I'm not complaining, but it was amusing. Also, the girl already has glasses, presumably because Geoffrey has glasses. Go figure. I must confess that I also find it all amusing in a very off-beat and perverse way. Perverse in the original sense of the word, not the modern sense. My 23 year old daughter says that EA are racists. A black baby doesn't turn into a white toddler, and it was black in the light.
