@midKnightredd Did you delete your cache files after removing mods ?
Also did you try taking the mermaids in question to CAS after removing mods and back to see if the problem gets solved ?

Yes, I did all that and still had the problem. Anyway, I don't know if I still have this problem because I ended up uninstalling the game then re-installing it but decided to stay away from the mermaids and all their problems for now.

Totally unsupported suggestion, but Iced Cream’s hybrid stabilizer mod was originally created for this problem in hybrids. (Honestly, I think it just pops mermaid off the Sim when leaving a body of water and pops it back on immediately after.) Maybe it would help?

@midKnightredd Hi! I don't know about the mod that @xochiquetzl_xkvn suggested but the only time I've seen that issue was when I attempted to make a mermaid / spellcaster hybrid. That doesn't mean it's the only thing that can cause this issue. I was just wondering if your sim was a hybrid too. If not, I suggest following @crinrict 's advice, then come back to let them know if it worked or not. Good luck!! 🙂

@JonaO703 @midKnightredd Yeah, I have a save with a mermaid who's married to a spellcaster, so I'm quite familiar with this glitch. :D
I've never seen it with non-hybrids, but if the mod helps hybrids with the issue it might also help non-hybrids with the issue, too. I've never seen it on a non-hybrid so I can't test it for you, but it's worth a shot.

Human mated with mermaid so yes.
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@midKnightredd Are all the mermaids that have the problem in your game hybrids ?
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@midKnightredd are you still having issues ? Are your Sims all hybrids ?

Thank you for at least trying to help. Once I uninstalled and re-installed the game, I put the issue out of my mind and forgot about it actually. I do appreciate the time and effort you and others were willing to give to help though, may all your days be blessed with much happiness.
