How did they make the merman who becomes a mermaid when he changes?

Question

There is one male in the game who becomes a woman (well, a mermaid) when he gets into the water and it's driving me crazy trying to figure out how you assign female traits to the mermaid form but male traits when they are out of the water in their land form?  My CAS won't let me do that.  It's either one or the other but the character in the game is clearly packing as a man but has breasts as a mermaid (no way to see what's under those scales of course).

There is, you can do it in CAS, but they are a male mermaid when you do it.   I'm honestly not sure what @FlamingoKicker1 is even talking about, because I am pretty sure that I am familiar with all of the premade mermaids, and none of them match what s/he's saying.  For the premades, there are 2 female, 1 male and one transgender.  I guess he might be referring to the transgender one, but he has the same body frame in both human and mermaid forms.

It may be that the issue is more of the way Paka's mer form is dressed rather than body type. I don't currently have him in any of my active saves, so I can't easily check, but he may be wearing one of the feminine-frame tops that gives the appearance of having breasts.

Wow I have never heard of that before! That’s really strange and I wish I had the answer for you but I have no idea how to change that. Best of luck though!

I’ve only encountered one mermaid thus far but I haven’t really explored Sulani yet. Nalani who I think comes with the pack. I moved her into a beach house. She has the tail in the water or bath but legs on land!

I’ll keep a look out for the merman and if I can, move him in and look at his info. Perhaps there’s a way to assign mermaid abilities to male Sims?

Paka'a is feminine in style but he's still masculine frame in body even in mermaid form. His fashion style may be flagged as feminine and is why it gives an illusion of him being a girl in mer form but he still has a masculine frame.
