Sims 4 doesn't really have any real genetics, that was only a sims 2 thing. Sims can inherit physical attributes from their parents, but it's all editable, there's no such thing as natural hair colour anymore, and every single other physical attribute can be changed via CAS.fulleditmode.
If sims use a custom skin tone the baby will inherit the skin done directly from either parent, females usually (but not exclusively) inherit traits from their mother, and males usually (but not exclusively) inherit traits from their father. This game really doesn't understand "blending" so things are usually directly from one parent or the other. I've yet to have a blonde haired parent and black haired parent produce a brown haired child, it's usually one or the other.
Aliens born between an alien and a sim are hybrids and will inherit their alien parent's skin tone.
Aliens born via abduction will have their disguise form look similar to their human parent in my experience.
A vampire's normal form is genetically taken from the parents as any normal sim would. their dark form usually looks similarly, but with a (sometimes) different skin-tone and vampire facial markings.
