No, it works like vampires. You won't see any Mermaid traits until they are teens.

I decided on my game mermen can’t father children and mermaids have to come ashore to seduce male sims to continue the race. I completely forgot it could be a 50/50 situation with the kids being merfolk or not. Doh!! I’ll have to create a little ceremony where all the kids eat mermaids kelp on aging up. Eep!

So cool to see that pregnant mermaid though. That makes me happy ?

I don't see why they wouldn't be able to

Well yeah that's what I mean will the babies be Mermaids when they become older?

Yes they will. From what I understand, they will get their tail in the bathtub, swimming in pools, and the ocean of Sulani. In addition to special mermaid powers.

I heard somewhere that if two mermaids have a child that child will be a mermaid, if a mermaid has a child with a regular sim it's a 50/50 chance

I think I heard that there is a chance that the child could be a mermaid when they become a teen, if one or both of the parents are mermaids. Just like vampires. So, if that’s correct, then yes, teens can inherit the mermaid genes.

I wish it weren;t like vampires, and that a child could be a mermaid
