[IL] Can't turn into mermaid (from dislike gardening)

My sim was initially a spellcaster, but I gave that up in order to become a mermaid, but the problem is, no matter how many Mermadic Kelps I eat, I cannot turn into a mermaid. Are your sims only allowed to be one type of occult member, at a time or just one period? I'm playing on my PS5

  • Sims are only allowed to be one type of occult at a time. That shouldn't stop a Spellcaster, Vampire, or Werewolf from becoming a merSim, as long as the previous occult state has been removed. I just tested this and had no trouble switching from Spellcaster to MerSim. Here are the steps I followed.

    1. Travel to the Realm of Magic.

    2. Ask for the Rite of Dissolution.

    3. Say Ok.

    4. Get a piece of Mermadic Kelp. (I bought one from the Rewards Store)

    5. Eat the Mermadic Kelp.

    6. Go somewhere that has swimmable water. (I chose Gibbs Hill in Britechester)

    7. Go swimming.

    Perhaps you missed the last step?

    My best guess, then, is that you didn't swim out deep enough.

  • I figured it out! Her not liking gardening was keeping her from transforming for some reason lol

    That's strange, but I'm glad you figured it out. I would never have guessed that!
