Still no mermaid tails

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!
