How do I do this?? Can I change a sim from a premed house house (not yet placed) into a mermaid?How do I switch them into the mermaid Occult?Also, how do I turn off mermaids from the rest of the neighbourhood?

> @MaggieMarley said:> @DeadFishy have you tried this cheat?> > traits.equip_trait trait_OccultMermaid> > (Make sure first to type in testingcheats on)Hi just to let Dead Fishy know I also find it annoying that you can't change a normal or pre-made sim in CAS to another type of sim e.g. normal to mermaid. BUT Maggie Marley I have tried your cheat and it works perfectly - my fave Ariel Sim I made ages ago is now an actual mermaid yay! Thank you :smiley:

Very disappointing you can't make any existing sims in CAS a mermaid. You can however make a mermaid if you radomize as sim in CAS.

Edit: I’m wrong, my apologies You’d have to go to manage worlds and the button to move a sim in and it’ll take you to CAS. If you have the family in your gallery just bring them down and you can modify from there

But they are already in my library. They haven't been moved in yet. I'm still editing them in CAS but I can't seem to turn a sim I'm working on into a mermaid.

You have to make an extra sim and make that one a mermaid, or eat magic kelp. It isn’t possible in CAS.

You can get mermadic kelp in the reward store for 500 aspiration points. Just cheat the points and get the kelp.

This means you can never play with genetics in CAS and make a mermaid sim and make their child/teen a mermaid?

Then can I custom my mermaid when changing clothes? Or how is that done?

Huh? Once the Sim is a mermaid, changing them is no different than any other Sim, vampire, or alien. For basic changes (hair, clothes, makeup) you go into cas normally. For all other edits, you have to enter cheats.

You can do any genetics in cas, edits in cas, anything. But, same as a vampire, you either have to start them off as a vampire or take them in game and make them the occult (being bit to become a vamp or the kelp to become mermaid) but once they are the occult, you can do anything with them.

You just can not change occult types, Sim/human or otherwise, in cas, but you never have been able to with Sims 4.
