Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Almost all of them.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a naturally born child between a mermaid and a human sim.What happens when the bug occurs? The children of mermaids changing into a non-existent "mermaid form" when they get in the pool and being unable to change back.What do you expect to see? I expect nothing to happen since children aren't supposed to have mermaid forms.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/355805186465464321/855872638736007178/06-19-21_2-06-52_PM.png Even when I play the game with zero mods and CC, the problem still persists. And yes, I did try repairing the game too. The only way to fix it seems to be removing the mermaid trait. I'm guessing this is an issue with a recent patch since I've had child sims with the mermaid trait before and this didn't happen to them whenever they go swimming Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

@Blueboi22 I don't really see much on your picture. Do they go invisible ?There's a bug where they have two forms in CAS so maybe that's escalating.DId you test multiple children ?

@crinrict Yes. The invisibility is the main problem. Whenever he goes into the pool, his legs disappear, his hair changes, and sometimes the game will even add accessories onto him (like the Hawiian leis). And just to be safe, I also tried this with his sister and I ran into the same problem. After this happens, all of their other outfits are inaccessible to them. Even when I go into CAS.@GiardiniDiMarzo Nope. The father is a 100% normal sim.

@wildirishbanshee Is the girl a mermaid as in this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/IL-Mermaid-children-loose-outfits-invisible-bottom-part-when/td-p/10465137 ?

@Blueboi22 Is the human parent perhaps a Spellcaster or an Alien in disguise?

@Blueboi22 Would you mind uploading the Sims to the gallery and post their names here so I can try ? Don't have any mermaid children to test.

@dn3ab Is your Child a hybrid ? Did you create the Sim in or is the child a born mermaid ?

It happened with two siblings. Both of them were born Mermaids, they aren't hybrids.

@dn3ab I found an older similar thread and merged.

Since the other user never uploaded their Sim, would you mind uploading yours ?
