Details:
Only in this specific family branch, the babies get a very different skin texture for baby & toddler life stage only. When aging up, the child stage chooses another, more fitting skin texture based on the parents.
Parents:
Child #1: (born November 24th 2025)
Child #1 in child life stage:
Child #2: (born January 29th 2026)

For reference:
During the birth cutscene, the babies always have a skin tone similar to the one they’ll get in the child stage. I’m not sure if the cutscene baby always looks the same, but here’s a screenshot.

Hey [at] me, myself & I! 
I think I’ve found the root of this bug by accident. Both parents (which used to be one pre-made NPC and another NPC in Dowon) have no skin texture applied actively in CAZ. Now I figured out what used to be their premade skin tone and applied it. I’ll report back once they have another child. Maybe it’ll have a skin texture for once

if they ever fix the lighting and color issues, I’ll be able to get zois have children and see these bugs and glitches too lol

I can’t wait to see the Zois you’ll be making one fine day =) This wouldn’t be a terrible bug, especially for someone like you who has a good eye for matching colors. I kidna struggled though, because seeing those tiny nuances isn’t my thing. I already thought about linking your name to a screenshot and asking for your help, but I somehow managed to do it xD

That’s a good catch. If you zois have another child, do let us know whether the game fails to apply a skin to him or not. It might be a good point of reference for devs to start working on a fix when they spot this bug!

I’m glad to see that you managed to do it 
And yes if ever in a situation, I’ll be more than happy to try to help

I’ve found another child Zoi born with normal skin textures but once I entered CAZ when she became a child, her skin texture isn’t selected. In the screenshots below you can see that her eye color and shape is selected, but skin texture isn’t.
She’s Zoi child #3 in this family and none of her relatives has had any similar issues so far. It’s a different save file than the one I attached previously, so I’ll add the new one here too.

BTW @JoyIsFunner - I tried to find the same skin texture but was totally lost once again xD I now applied A28065 because it’s the closest I got. If you find more suitable hex codes, please drop them here

I’m very simple, I don’t type hex codes, when I’m creating a zoi I choose face skin, then I select a color from the menu (can also adjust for yellower or redder tone, but I usually don’t have to), I always click around or drag the color picker to fine tune a unique skin color like shade/brightness and saturation, this is all done by looking at the zoi face and going for the right vibe. I do this before morphing the face and in some situations I’ll come back to darken/brighten or change the pigment, these are all done by moving the color picker, are you studying zoi genetics, I haven’t had any babies because I’m not going to makeover worlds until the lighting and color bleeding issues are fixed and I might wait till after early access is complete, right now I only create to upload to Canvas, but I enjoy creating, at which I haven’t been creating much lately, I started creating a house and I want to make all furniture Excellent, and there are no Excellent single beds for a teen or adult, so I’m at a stand still on this small house and there went my inspiration, I’ll get in the mood to build something sooner or later tho lol
