Still no mermaid tails
Hello. I turned one of my favourite sims into a mermaid using the rewards system. I only bought it yesterday! I have searched for answers and done the following: I have tried restarting I have tri...

@LivyLoo11, do you by any chance use Mods or Custom Content (CC)? 🤔 If you do, that could be what's causing your trouble.
If you have or have used Mods or CC please do all of the following:
1) Move your Mods folder to your Desktop
2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the Game Folder
3) Repair your game in Origin by logging into Origin and go to your Library. Right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the option to "Repair Game". Wait until Origin fixes all of your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now when you turn on your game it will create a new, empty mods folder. Check your game to see if the problem is fixed.
5). You can now add your Mods/CC back one at a time checking the game each time to see which one is the culprit. (For people with a lot of mods/CC they often have to do the 50/50 Method). For each item that is outdated, you will have to see if the creator of that item has a new version that is up to date with EA's most recent update/patch.
You might have to do this each time EA update the game with a patch.
It is the responsibility of the Mod/CC creators to update their items when EA updates the game. It is the responsibility of people who use Mods/CC to make sure the Mods/CC they use are up to date!
It would also be helpful if you could include a picture or pictures of your problem Mermaid! 🤨
Please tell us if this works or not! If you don't use Mods/CC please inform us so we can continue to troubleshoot what is going on in your game! 🤔
Happy Simming! 🥳
@PugLove888 I also have this problem. No mods, no CC. I have all games except Halloween stuff. Just loaded magic and island in past 2 days, first mermaid I make has no lower half. No options to change scales, can’t see anything in CAS either. Sim ate kelp from exploring the cave. Have not seen ANY mermaids. Sim swims like a mermaid would I suppose....she’s fast...buts she half a sim ☹️
So bummed. I hadn’t played sims in almost 8mo. Finally decided I needed to catch up....and got this.

@Mieyonna04, I see you have added your experience to the Bug Report on this! Thank you for doing that! 😇
I have yet to use the Mermadic Kelp, so I have never encountered this problem. All my Mermaids were created as Mermaids in CAS before playing, or else they were born in-game. I would stick to making Mermaids in CAS and their babies, until they fix this issue with the kelp! 🤨
There are 4 Mermaids hidden in Sulani (there were 3 originally, but they added one more in an update! ) But you wont see them as Mermaids until you can get them to admit that they are a Mermaid. You need a high enough friendship level for them to admit to being Mermaids, and it might be a bit of a challenge to get them to admit it!
Spoiler!

I loaded that game again today and still no tail....so I went into CAS again and tried removing tattoos as someone suggested on another post I had read. Nothing happened immediately but as I was about to exit CAS, popped back to regular form and then clicked mermaid form one last time (I’m glad I did check again) still no tail st that moment but I also remembered someone mentioning trying to edit the scales...so I fiddled around and found where the tail options were (I’m assuming that’s the scales I should edit as I didn’t see that option anywhere else). When I changed the tail, bam. It showed up. I can’t tell you if it was the tattoo and then changing of the tail...both or a combo of both and also my order in steps getting there lol. I was just tickled it was finally there.
So for me...remove tattoo on human form in CAS, click to mermaid form, switch back to human, then back to Mermaid, change the tail. Tail is functioning in CAS and in game as it should...with proper hydration bar (prior to this it had remained hygiene). Hope it can work for someone else as well! Will test it again on a new fam when I make one and let u know if I see it again. Thank you for the tips!
@Mieyonna04, thank you for reporting your findings! 😇 While this is still a bug, at least there is a workaround! If you haven't already you might want to add this to the Bug Report you posted on, so that others can use your work around! 🙂 It also might help Crinrict with the bug report on this as well! 😉
Nicely done! 🙌
Happy Simming! 🥳
Update to tag @LivyLoo11 , in case this helps them! 🤞
