Help with default baby skin

Every time I put a new custom skin for babies in my game (I've only tested one save file for now), the default skin still shows. I've looked through my entire mods folder and it shows no other skins besides the ones I put in. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

For instance, I choose not to update my own baby defaults because I'm okay with the outfit choices that came with Nifty knitting and don't see a need for a default replacement anymore.
Moreover, I have heard that it's rather tricky to get the default baby skintones and clothes to work with the current version of the game.
Wow wish I could help BookBear, but I only do the little clothes part. Nifty knitting has split the actual skintones from clothes now. That is why a lot of unupdated skintone replaces don't work for babies anymore. I do however know its possible. A friend @permanentrose has a beautiful little default skin that she uses and it works with all my little outfits as well, so they are seperate from each other. Perhaps she could share her link with you @jms62511.
If not then I could make you an old fashioned before niftyknitting outfit where the baby wears their skintone as clothes. BUT that would mean it would be one skintone colour per package. So for eg you would have light skintone and all the babies ingame will have light skintone no matter what skintone parents are, then I could make dark skintone and so on and on. Then you must just put the correct package in the game depending on which skintone baby should be. Its a lot of hassle for you, but I don't mind doing it for you. This is a bit silly but could work.
OR
Sent me the package and I will l play around with it and see if I can fix it. I am not a very good cc maker (just make baby outfits) but I can always give it a go and google for tutorials and things
Here is a beautiful photo @permanentrose sent me of her little one and its little default skin wearing one of my little pj onesies. So it is possible, we just need to find a way for you. Happy simming

So it will work with CC outfits like @mcrudd's, as you can see above, the default maxis outfits, and also with the Nifty Knitting outfits! The skin tones will not necessarily match what the baby will age up to look like though. There are only 3 skin tones in this overlay I use, as you can see in the link. There is some kind of genetics used to determine which of the 3 skin tones it will use, so it's not totally random. Most of my sims babies seem to get that middle skin tone I guess, looking at these pictures haha. Hope this helps!
Yay I am so glad you came right @jms62511
If you want to go to them directly I have a page on TSR here https://www.thesimsresource.com/members/mcrudd
I found that simmers that don't have VIP membership at TSR finds it easier to use the forums links as it goes directly to the outfit they want
Enjoy your little custom skintone babies and new little outfits
Thank you so much! I shall enjoy them very much
Yes. You can only have one outfit package at a time. Each package has 3 outfits. Boy, girl and alien. I name them so they are easy identifyable if you want to have a few and change between game loads.
Okay got it! I love all of them! I’ve downloaded some from the link @permanentrose has mentioned. If I put yours in the game, will it mess things up?
If you use the default skintone with my outfits all will be good, but you can't use outfits from there with my outfits, they will conflict.
You can if you are known with sims4studio edit my packages as @permanentrose mentioned above. I actually did a little tutorial on how to do it on my baby outfits thread. I will put it for you below in a quote so you don't have to search for it. This way you could edit the outfits as you would like them, for eg you could delete alien and girl from one package and then only have boy outfits in that package, which would allow you to have another package that has the deleted boy outfit in your game. So if you really want too you can have three packages, but they must each only have one clothing option, boy, girl or alien. If its too confusing for you, just let me know what combo you would like and I can make one up for you as a request, no problem, since I have all my outfits saved on my computer
