Mermaids previously would not die due to starvation or aging up. That has been fixed. Remember to feed your Mermaids!
Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78
please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,
In my household I have 2 old mermaid sims. A LONG time ago the game said they would be dying soon, this was around the time when their offspring were teens. Because their Fitness skills are high I expected them to last a while longer, but their children are now adults and they still won't die. They aren't the only ones. I installed 2 mermaid sims from the library. They are around the same age as my main household older sims, both have their age bars maxed. One of those mermaids lived with a non-mermaid sim and that sim died long before him. None of the 4 mermaid sims in Sulani have died. I use mods but I disabled them and took them out of the mods folder. I repaired the game, played those sims and the issue is still there. I actually tried using cheats to kill them. It gave one of them the Dangerously Tired moodlet and made them woohoo since it won't let me do more exercise, instead of dying the moodlet got cancelled out and they could keep doing sports for even more hours until the pulled muscle moodlet showed up, then it left after a while. Please, I need help to make my mermaid sims die normally of old age.

recently discovered something i thought i should share. dont know if this counts as a glitch but my mermaid sims are incapable of dying certain deaths. im playing a legacy challenge and my entire clan are now mermaids and when it came to the nature part of the legacy challenge i found mermaid sims could not
- drown (that seems obvious but still something to note)
- starve??? (when it says starve to death in like 3 seconds the timer dissappears completely and its just an uncomfortable moodlet like with dirty surroundings
- die from pufferfish (i assume this is because theyre mermaids and fish cannot kill them but still i was consuming like 20 poor quality pufferfish nigiris a day until i finally thought let me try this as a human sim - why isnt this noted somewhere that certain types of sims cannot be killed certain ways like bodybuilder elders cant die of overexertion from working out)
these are the only deaths ive found that conflict with mermaids.
i even tried to cheat the pufferfish death but mccommand center wouldnt even let me select pufferfish as a way to kill them. been racking my brain for the oast couple of days until i reached the conclusion that mermaids are tough to kill
The only way I got one of my Elder mermaids to die was to starve him.
