I noticed this happening as well, and hit "Me Too" on the thread a while back. However, I thought I'd do some serious testing on it today. Tested with the following:
ALL DLC's installed
No mods/CC installed
Brand new save game
No aging up or CAS cheats used--I used free real estate to buy their house, and had to reset one of the mothers once as she was glitched out with a book in her hand.
All parent Sims are identical, unrelated, and without family lineages.
One human female "mate" with the ability to get Sims pregnant via gender options
One human female Sim to be impregnated
One vampire female Sim to be impregnated
One mermaid female Sim to be impregnated
Impregnated mothers purely through vanilla gampelay means--Started as roommates in CAS, tried for baby on a double bed, didn't use cheats or music/consumables to impact pregnancy in any way.
Mothers had their babies at the hosiptal, and I didn't join them on the active hospital lot.
Offspring were all aged up to Young Adults through the "Age Up" option on the bassinet, then with a birthday cake.
All mothers and the mate were Young Adults.
Although two of my three babies were boys, and therefore slightly more difficult to see exact similarities between their mothers, it was apparent that both the human and vampire offsprings correctly inherited their mothers' genetics, while the mermaid offspring was completely and blatantly dissimilar. It appears the rumors of this bug affecting vampires as well as mermaids was incorrect, but mermaids definitely are being given randomly generated Sims for their babies.
@SnowieSimmer edited cause i was wrong, youre right about vampires not being affected. there was an error in my testing the first time
