@Lavendela91 I've been having this too. I'd been playing with some CC but I took it out to play for a while after the "bunk beds" patch. What I thought might be due to CC appears to be a game bug. I have no CC or mods in my game presently but the new baby icon (for a family with very pale skin) is about as dark is possible in the game and yet the baby when held is the same color as the parents. It's been happening in my legacy family too, but since it fixes itself as soon as the baby turns into a toddler, I wasn't too worried. But it would be nice if it could be fixed.

I have the same problem. I’ve also noticed that in-game photos, specifically the family portrait, show the babies with dark skin, even though both parents have light skin.

They’re not black in the actual game right?

@LifeofTamilton At least my sim-babies aren’t black in the game. Both when the babies are in their crib and when they age up to toddlers they are white.

Yeah it’s a known issue with the household icons and gallery pictures only! Reminder to hit XP so we get more exposure and potentially priority for them to fix it

I get black baby icons too but idk what the big fuzz is all about, it's hardly game breaking, beside they are not babies for long, to bother caring about it anyway.
