I thought The Sims 3 also tried to prevent hybrids. The Sims 2 didn't.

Yep the sims 2 was technically the only hybrids we actually had in programming.

Not ALL hybrids were permissible in Sims 2, though. Vampires and PlantSims were incompatible, I believe.

You could still have them. I have quite a few. You just need to light the house with sunlamps and put one above their coffin.

In Sims 2 Plant Sims were different and did not have life stages of the rest of the Sims - they had 2- toddler AND ADULT - so they could not really be compared to any other "monsters" - they were one of a kind and not really compatible to any other species. They were never hybrids without mods or cheats and even with mods or cheats created a lot of issues in the game.

It caused issues? I had plantsims hybrids where they were everything but a servo or a bigfoot.

My merman was abducted and gave birth to twins. I haven't aged them up yet from toddlers, but their needs dialogue box keeps changing. Sometimes it shows them as mermaids and sometimes not.

Also they are not true hybrid in Sims 4 so all mixed supernaturals can go badly wrong.

Sims 2 was the only game with hybrids, sims 3 didn't have them.

There was a NRAAS mod that allowed them, but they still weren't perfect. Keep in mind though, NRAAS is basically the sims 3 version of MC command center. Twallan was/is crazy talented, it was such a job that he retired for sims 4. It was definitely not an easy mod.

I personally got a mermaid and a vampire together thinking if they’ll have child it will either be a mermaid or a vampire but I was wrong, it gave me an unplayable hybrid. Things are fine up until the child reaches teenage-hood. When my sim fully developed her vampires form she was also a mermaid but had no hydration bar, only regulars + vampire energy but no vampire upgrade accessible. The CAS is a mess. I can change only the vampire form but I can’t even copy the normal appearance onto the dark form. She changes in mermaid in water alright but quite a hideous one and I can’t access to the mermaid form so yeah don’t try to mix mermaid and vampires unless you want to live with a sims that has 3 different appearances.

Mermaids are glitchy. I made a quad hybrid of Alien/Mermaid/Spellcaster/Vampire. Unfortunately, I had to remove the Mermaid trait because she was missing her legs when she got out of the bathtub.

the game says it doesn't allow hybirds, but what they mean is if your make a hybrid be prepared to mess up your people. I assumed, since they said no hybrids that my alien/mermaid parents would have kids that were either alien or mermaid -- what I got instead -- every time was a mermaid alien hybrid who had half their body disappear when they entered the water --could change into their alien disguises and looked like absolute abominations in their alien forms. Just had a alien spellcaster hybrid too who does not actually show a spell caster trait or an alien trait when loaded into CAS but has the powers of both...

To Remove Occult Traits press ctrl/shift/C on your keyboard, type TestingCheats On press enter, type TestingCheats True press enter
Type:
Traits.Remove_Trait Trait_OccultMermaid press enter key
Traits.Remove_Trait Trait_OccultAlien press enter key
Traits.Remove_Trait Trait_OccultVampire press enter key
Traits.Remove_Trait Trait_Occult_ WitchOccult press enter key

Only remove the occult you don't want in your hybrid.
I suggest to remove mermaid if your sim has that occult trait because the mermaids are glitchy still.

I had a mermaid-alien. Was fine till she reach kid then it was a mess. While editing her in CAS, saving, and going into game, it completely deleted her. I did NOT delete her, the game did. Was gone from the generation tree, absolutely everything. I ended up making a sim that looked close to her and acted like nothing happened. Out of fear the couples second born would have the same issue, I gave her up (definitely would have done that differently now).

Oh no! How devastating. I recently had a mermaid woohoo with an alien. Their child is a baby right now, and this worries me for when she grows up.
