Does anyone know if they plan on fixing the mermaid genetics? I'm feeling really disappointed that I spent this money on a pack and mermaids are basically broken when it comes to them having children. I've basically ruined an entire generation in my legacy with this bug, and I'm really upset.I know it's a known bug, though I don't know if EA/Maxis knows, but I hope so.

They'll simply look like a random generated townie.MCCC had my back on getting the genetics right (and even then I had to make a "proxy child" in cas to transfer the genetics from) but it was a pretty disappointing discovery.

Did you report it on EA Answers forum?

Welp, lucky me for always making the kiddos in CAS I guess. This is a really irritating bug so I hope people who run into it report it and that it will be fixed soon.

My blonde, pale, green eyed sim had a baby with Nalani and the kid is ASIAN! LOL I don't know if I have to blame EA or Nalani has some valid explanation for it... hahahaha

Yeah it's a total bummer that mermaid genetics weren't fixed in the latest patch. What I did when my mermaid twin babies aged to toddlers is went straight into CAS, deleted them and did random genetics with both parents. I only hit the randomize button once for each twin, and the girls are child age now (in my avatar pic), so luckily this worked for me. But it's a crappy work-around. This bug is really messing up my 100 baby challenge as I wanted my matriarch to have a few mermaid children.
