mermaid not sleeping in bed only in water

So when the Island living first came out my mermaid would sleep in a bed.. Now she only sleeps in the water. I tried changing the bed and debugging the toon and creating a new mermaid same issue.. Are the SUPPOSED to sleep just in water ?

    I would recommend beginning troubleshooting with a game repair along with removing the cache (as follows) and see if this helps.

    Do you have Mods or CC? If you do please remove them in this process and try the troubleshooting as described below. (If you don't have Mods or CC, just skip the part about removing the Mods folder, but still delete the cache file mentioned.) If you ever had Mods or CC in the past then do the steps as if you have them currently (removing the Mods folder), as there could be damage that has remained after you removed them.

    • Exit your game then exit Origin. Copy the Mods folder from your 'The Sims 4' folder onto your desktop (for future reference) then delete the mods folder and the localthumbnailcache.package file in your 'The Sims 4' folder and restart the game and so that the game will re-create the folder.

    Then run a game repair [ Open Origin, click 'Game Library' then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game ]. Make sure to let it run until it has completed all repairs (it will do the basegame first, then run through each of your expansions/packs). After that, please see if the issue has stopped.

    Let us know how it goes.

  • Hi @CarryBlack 

    Apart from troubleshooting your game, Mermaids can’t stay out of the water for extended periods of time. They need to be in water frequently in order to thrive. So I think sleeping is a normal thing in the water(?) I have a mod that removes Mermaids altogether, so not exactly sure how they act sorry.. 😉 just thought I'd post a few links to people who post 'guides' to the packs like Carls Guide and Sims Community
