Human Sims no longer will think they are Mermaids by swimming like them when swimming laps.
Fixed in Patch 1.58.63
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Updated August 18th
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs EXCEPT: Moschino Stuff, My First Pet Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Bowling Night Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Put an active sim in a 2x8 pool of water to swim laps
What happens when the bug occurs? Human sim uses mermaid animation, broken feet ensue
What do you expect to see? Human sims should not swim like they have tails, and feet should not act like they are fins.
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
I had a human sim begin to swim in a small pool and noticed that her animation seemed to be the mermaid one, but my save has never had mermaids played, nor am I using CC at this time. Look at the feet, something is very very wrong with that, and I can't seem to make her stop swimming like that, even resetting the sim. I am pretty sure that is a glitch and not sure how to make her stop, as the feet part are really creeping me out.

It happens in big pools too, to regular and occult sims (not counting mermaids of course).
Just my two cents, I was redirected here from my own glitch. Playing on ps4 pro with all packs installed.
Happy gaming everyone 🙂
