Re: [OPEN] [V] [ROM] [IL] Hybrids/Mermaids walk with tail (Patch 1.72)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Português
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.72.28.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Literally all! Can't name it all, plus it's in portuguese.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? As stated before, you just need two different occults to have a baby. In my case I made a Mermaid Sim and she lived in Forgotten Hollow, meeting Caleb later. And you know what happened after.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the baby becomes a teen Sim, they are hybrid sims. The Sim got both powers (Mermaid + Vampire), physically she was only a mermaid, walking on her tail everywhere. In CAS she only shows vampire form. All the changes I do in her outfits, doesn't save at all, everytime I go in CAS, she has different clothes on.
What do you expect to see? To be honest, I really thought hybrids could occur, but I had no idea it was bugged, I only got to know after I see my teen all bugged out and coming to search for explanations.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

First of all, I'm sorry for making a new thread, I tried to reply to an existing one (Offsprings of two occults are still Hybrids (Patch 1.72), but for some reason there was no "Me too" option nor I could post in there (forum newbie here...).
Anyways,  I tried to make her transform in Vampire option, but she didn't change at all. Tried to change clothes, but they were all mermaid form, as shown in the attachements (sadly can only att 3 files...).
I really wanted to play cheat mode free, so I went through all the efforts to make the Vampire drink (Ultimate Vampire Cure), made her get max level with vampire books, searched for all the ingredients and made the drink (RIP Simoleons), which didn't work. Made her eat tons of mermaid fruits (kelps?), didn't work at all (I know it's only 2... but I tried in different times, just in case she wasn't in the mood).
So I had to go for cheats... Which worked (yey ☹️ ), but I wanted to let you guys know about my issue, regarding the Vampire drink and Kelps not working and all visual bugs... and hopefully solve it for everyone having it, since I've read it exists it's been a while now ~
Ah yes, forgot to say, I might have created that baby before updating to the latest patch (it was version 1.63 I guess..) . Didn't try after the patch though. Any further information you might need, I'll be happy to help!

    @GIammeow I merged your thread. The reason you couldn't me too is cause you already did so yesterday.

    Not sure why you couldn't post.

    Ooh ups! I didn't remember! Haha I'm really noob here. Also I'm testing the "Reply" option, maybe that's how we post here? Not sure... Because I don't have any "post field".
    Regarding the bugs, they will eventually fix it with patches/updates, right? (I know there's priorities, just wondering how will I know it got fixed meanwhile, or should I check the forum often?).
    Many thanks for merging btw!

    @GIammeow  Alas, my understanding is that they've been trying to patch hybrids out of being produced (and I think they succeeded for a while) but do not intend to patch hybrids into functioning in a non-glitchy manner. This makes me sad because I like the idea of hybrids and have had them born in game as well, but.... they're not supported. 

    I'm not sure how (or if) they plan to handle in-game reversal methods not working.  They worked for me and my friend the last few times we've had hybrids, but that was several patches ago.

    I don't think they work on every bug reported in the forum, only those that affect a large number of users in a way that they can consistently reproduce. I don't work for EA but that's my impression.  That's why it's important to click "me, too."

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn same, I was actually happy to see she had both powers and even both appearences, when she grew up to a teen sim. But I got confused when the CAS wasn't working properly and the mermaid tail wouldn't disappear. They could fix only that and we would be happy! Hahah but yep, the reversal methods didn't work. You could try and see if it's general or it was just bad luck for me.
    Ah well... It is what it is, thank you both for the explanations and help! Will be patiently waiting for updates on this ~
