For me it's not just the icon or the picture of the household... It's the whole baby. No matter what kind of family I have, the babies are born black and once they turn in to a toddler the skin tone rights itself and the child looks like the parents. I don't mind dark babies, but it's kind of shocking when they are born and I know the mother did not cheat. It seems like most every problem I've read is just an icon or whatever, but in my game it's the entire baby.

This issue was fixed for a while after that one patch.  My sims had a few babies and the thumbnails displayed the correct skintone.  However, my current sim just had a baby and her thumbnail had the wrong skin tone.  So I've added my "me too" here.

I've seen some let's plays of Cottage Living, and while it doesn't happen every single time (only certain specific skintones seem to still be affected?), a lighter-skinned baby will still be black in their portrait sometimes. So it can be said that this is partially fixed, since it isn't every time, but definitely not fixed fixed. I don't know why EA has this problem of claiming things are fixed, only for them not to be fixed. It's becoming a concerningly common occurrence.

Baby icon on bottom left and Parenting Skill Lvl 6 not working right

★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions except Eco Lifestyle and Snowy Escape. All Game Packs except Spa Day, Jungle Adventure, and Dream Home Decorator. All Stuff Packs except Luxury Party, Spooky, Kids Room, Backyard, Fitness, My First Pet, and Paranormal.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? From the base game when the parent sims have babies and from Parenthood Stuff Pack, when the parent sim is at level 6 skill parenting.
What happens when the bug occurs? First, from the base game, when the sim has a baby, its skin is black in the icon below with the other sims instead of a white baby in the UI I think. Second, from the Parenthood Stuff Pack, when the baby cries, its supposed to show a bubble of why its crying and its not showing at all, even when the sim has level 6 parenting skill.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see that the baby has the same skin as the parents for the icon on the bottom left that shows every sim in the household and I want to be able to see the reason why the baby is crying and what it needs from the Parenting Skill level 6.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I already tried repairing the game and taking all my mods and cc out, but it doesn't fix my issues with the baby icon showing black baby instead of white and the baby isn't showing why its crying and what it needs. I really wish that you would address these issues and fix them please. Getting really tired of seeing baby icon showing black instead of white and not seeing what the baby needs when crying. These pictures shown what I'm seeing. Second picture shows when baby is crying, it doesn't show a bubble telling what it wants. Hope y'all can fix this even though you just released a bug patch for some other stuff. Thanks.

Is anyone still having an issue with this?  My current sim family had a baby after yesterday's patch and his thumbnail shows the proper skin tone.  Perhaps there was a fix included in that patch?  I'm playing version PC: 1.77.146.1030.
