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

[JDR123ray]

I'm still having this issue. I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It's very annoying and it makes me not wanna play.

Can anyone confirm if alien babies are still as completely broken as they appeared to be in Pleasant Sims' alien pregnancy comparison video? You just need to see what happened to believe it. I've skipped ahead to the segment here. We have: The alien baby not getting an alien bassinet like he's supposed to, the alien baby having a human skintone when not disguised, and the Pollination Technician that is his other parent looking totally human.

Hi friends,

I got tired of waiting 8 months for this bug to be fixed and, since the original thread said it is fixed (it's not), I have reported this issue again.

Because I was feeling particularly cheeky today, I decided to record a video so you can see what we're dealing with:

The video 50% me proving it still exists and eliminating all of the suggested fixes, and 50% me roasting this bug. (All in good fun ♥)

But in all seriousness, could you PLEASE fix this? ♥ It's ruining generations for so many of us.

Happy to try some more fix suggestions if you're not able to replicate it.

Apologies for my last post!  At the time, the thumbnail skin tone matched so I assumed this was actually fixed.  Then I saw others posting that it was only fixed for "white" families.  So just to add to that, my current active family, latino + white couple, just had a baby and the thumbnail skin tone is wrong.

I decided to re-create my king and queen sim I had in the sims 2. They were so much fun and I shared the neighborhood with my daughter, who was young at the time, who used to laugh and laugh about "dazzling" the queen in to buying things with one of the packs. Well, a Queen could visit the guillotine for this kind of treachery...

I see the same issue in my game and by looking at families on the Gallery. It seems that with the update the Light skintone was fixed, but the Medium skintone wasn't.

Little background info: Babies have only 3 different (human) skintones - Light, Medium and Black. And as I understand from looking at the game files shortly, the Dark skintone is set as the default to be replaced with the actual one at some point. I suspect that the issue lies somewhere along that line.

@zionna773 Are they dark-skinned on the icon only or the actual babies ? Are they still dark skinned as toddlers ?

[zionna773]

They are all dark skinned when they become toddlers there skin color changes.

even on the icons they are dark skinned

Actual babies and on the icons.

@zionna773 Are they light skinned on the adoption window or do you mean you just get dark skinned ones as an option ?
