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.

I dunno...Mermaid genetics are borked, idk about two mermaids but a human and a mermaid having a baby, the baby will not have either parent's genetics. 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.

I stopped playing the mermaids because i can't stand that they don't pass on genetics. I like my Sims to be cute. Not ugly plum like the townie sims are. And thats what they kept having. Townie babies. Which i just set them outside my sims house in their bassinets, and let the game take them away from me. because i didn't want them. I got so annoyed and just stopped playing the mermaids altogether. I hope they fix the genetics or i'm just not gonna play the mermaids. I like the one's i make. I hate the townies. And usually try to change them all to my liking. This really irritates me alot. I want MY mermaids to pass on their genetics. I know you can do it in cas. But i like my sims to go through the whole pregnancy, and have babies that favor them. If they ever fix this annoyance, let me know please.

Mermaid genetics have already been fixed in this Update: 08/08/2019 - PC 1.54.120.1020 / Mac 1.54.120.1020
Mermaids now properly pass along their genetics to the next generation.
