[IL] Becoming a temporary ghost breaks the needs UI for mermaids

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Italiano
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.110.265.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ALL EP EXCEPT HSY, GRO, FR and LS / ALL GP / ALL SP / CKK-IAK-BRK-CSK-MCK-FFK-DLK-PPK-ECK-SCK-GRK-GGK
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make your sim become a ghost temporarily by making them drink the Spectral Spritzer (Reaper's Reward),the Ghost Goo Serum (GTW), or via the séance table (PSP), and wait for them to return to their original form.
What happens when the bug occurs? When your sim returns to their original form, their needs panel retains the wording from when they were a ghost.
What do you expect to see? I'd like the needs panel, back to the way it was before my sim became a ghost.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After patch 1.110.265

‌

I will premise that my sim is a mermaid; I have not yet tested on a human.
The first picture shows the panel after drinking the Spectral Spritzer when my sim then came back “alive.” In this case the only option that remained phantasmic is Apparition Hydration.
The second image, on the other hand, is about becoming a ghost after using the séance table, in this other case all parameters except one remained ghostly.

The 3rd picture after drinking the Ghost Goo Serum.

This test was conducted on a pre-existing save that never had mods/cc (vanilla), which I use exclusively to test new patches.

@GiardiniDiMarzo Are they a mermaid? Normal Sims don't have a hydration need.

I have the same issue, also with a mermaid
But only the hydrations needs have the ghost wording, the other needs are ok.

@GiardiniDiMarzo Could you confirm that it's a mermaid ?

Tagging this as IL and removing the tags for the temp death as there are quite a few possibilities and adding all the tags makes the title to long.

I checked this out in my own game out of curiosity and I ran into the same bug in a completely new save without mods. It keeps the wording for ghosts for hydration, but everything else returns to normal. I don't think it breaks anything else. The wording just never returns to what it was before like the rest. I attached a picture to show what I mean

She became a temporary ghost by eating this special frog meal at the festival.
Since the wording for hydration didn´t get back to normal, I made a test: I made her a temporary ghost again, this time by bathing in that special "lake", I hoped after turning back to normal also the wording would turn back to normal. But it happened exactly as before: Everything went back to normal, but not the wording for hydration.

If you have Paranormal SP, can you test your mermaid/triton with the seance table?
Because for me, when my mermaid sim became a temporary ghost through the seance table, when he returned human he maintained all the ghostly words in the UI except for one (the 🚽).

Hey there! So I did what you asked and used the seance table to turn a mermaid into a ghost. I did this on a completely fresh, mod-free save with a new sim just to make sure nothing else would affect and it was the same thing as last time. Only the hydration need didn't change back to its non-ghost wording, but everything else was fine. I do have a picture, but it's not much different from my last picture. Just a non-ghost sim merperson with their hydration need stuck with the ghost wording. Maybe there was something more specific you did for the UI to break further? Just a suggestion

I’ve also discovered that I am no longer able to have any mermaid babies anymore!! I also had a mermaid sim temporarily enter ghost form, and afterwards when my mermaid sim bred with a human several times i only ever got human offspring. When i turned the human into a spellcaster, i only ever got spellcaster offspring! Ive had well over 20 kids, all twins. I want my mermaid babies back 😭
