Mermaid scales and tails not showing up.
I gather this is quite a rare problem but it's really bugging me. The mermaid townies that appear in the diving spot in Island Paradise do not appear to have any tails or scales. They swim like merm...

I got Island Paradise a few days ago and have been fighting with it since I installed it. I have the common lag/freezing issue that I never had before installing Island Paradise, which none of the suggestions I found online have fixed (Deleting the Scott family and house, installing overwatch, etc.). I went into Sunset Valley and successfully built a custom dive lot and island for a mer-family to live on, but when I moved the family into the lot the game completely glitched and dropped them in the middle of the town, needless to say I quickly gave up on that idea and went back to the glitched Isla Paradiso. In all of my Island Paradise games none of the npc mersims have had scales or tails, as the OP said. Not a huge deal for me since my sims could still have their tails and scales, but a little bothersome and takes away from the major reason I was still hanging onto the hope of getting Island Paradise to work. I have no custom content (and never have), and only just installed overwatch today, but the mermaid tails problem was present before installing the mod. I know EA is more preoccupied by the Sims 4 right now, but I still paid good money for this expansion pack which is turning out to be extremely bugged and it would be nice to have it work correctly.

Hello, this is someone elses topic/question so can you please make a new question related to this? Thank you.

it's ok you didn't intrude and yeah IP is lovely if you can get to play in the world but hey i can build dive lots and or resorts in sunset valley if i want to and have fun there
Just another suggestion, resetsim didn't work to get the scales back but the aging up solution does on my game. When starting a new game on Isla Paradiso you can make a random sim, move them in, and use testingcheatsenabled true plus the mailbox to make them know everyone. Then you can sift through the list until you've found the four default mermaids, and signal them. When they show up just edit them in CAS (shift+click them) to be an age group younger than they are, then leave CAS. Next you force them to age up with another shift+click and voila! They have their original scales and tails. Then you can delete your random sim (if you don't like playing with knowing everyone because it's annoying to me) and start your actual family you wanted to play.
