I'm seeing this quite frequent as of late. babies are always dark... icons, in bassinet and in family portraits. Picking them up, they are usually a similar tone to the parents. Without mods, on new saves...no matter what I do. It's only a minor inconvenience at this point. I generally just age them up immediately as baby objects are kind of boring. Currently everyone in my game is sporting a dark skinned baby.
I have a baby now with parents of different skin tones. the mother is dark skinned and the father is light. The baby is light skinned when in the bassinet and dark skinned when being held. The bassinet is bamboo override from the Tiny Twavellers custom content pack. So that could be the issue. It doesn't bother me that the baby changes color but I wanted to make sure that this would stop once she ages up (which is happening today). I may remove the override to be safe.
Removing the override for the bassinet fixed the skin color switching. The baby has the mother's dark skin and is now a toddler. It's been 2 sim weeks I think and her skin color hasn't changed. So all seems well. Note, her parents were randomly generated by me (everything was random lol), they fell in love in game and she was born in game.The house they live in came with Brindleton Bay. They are too poor to renovate it (beyond the adding a toddler bedroom).
I finally decided to give them makeovers since they had been having a hard time. Here are unnecessary but cute photos.
