Hi! I am playing a very long legacy game, and I have noticed that newly added Sims are all yellow or brown in race, very few black, and no whites whatsoever. There is obviously an algorithm, and I can only assume that it was done by design, because most of the original Sim characters are white, and so to add some diversity during the game. But now, when all the original characters have died out, there are no new white Sims added. Since there is obviously an algorithm which determines the new added Sims' race, then I think it should make all races equal, and create 25% white, 25% yellow, 25% brown, and 25 % black new Sims during the game.

"Fixed an issue that caused weighting for names, clothing, facial features, and skin tones to skew heavily in specific directions if City Living or Island Living were installed."
Judging by your scenario (I haven't played enough to test this myself) it could mean "the game generates less white sims"
You can usually tell what type of sim it is by their names. Base Game sims, City Living sims, Island Living sims etc have separate lists for their names.
Maybe you are not getting many base game sims in your game.
It's true. For example, the format of the families that are created by the game are always the same. A single parent with child, One adult, one child, and a teen, etc. There isn't much variety.
On the bright side, after years of dealing with Sim with mainly Asian or Indian names, the issue has finally been fixed.
