Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) First, have a mermaid sim in your household 2) Befriend a vampire 3) Click friendly interaction "Ask to Turn" 4) If successful, usual moodlets for transforming into a vampire occur 5) Your sim turns into a vampire, transforming nto his/her dark form 6) Your sim is both a mermaid and a vampire, and should have the vampire energy and hydration needs (for the most part no bugs/glitches here, your sim is still mostly functional as a mermaid and a vampire)
What happens when the bug occurs? Honestly I thought this was intentional since the merging of the vampire energy and hydration needs worked perfectly (with the exception of the power points disappearing), and since the mermaid was still able to swim perfectly fine and transform into her mermaid form despite being a vampire. Once entering CAS though, the mermaid form disappears and only the dark form shows (a real bummer since I would really like some vampire-siren hybrids).
What do you expect to see? I either expected for mermaids to be unable to transform into a vampire and perform those interactions, or for mermaids to have both a mermaid and vampire form in CAS if they were able to perform those interactions.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
