As I understand it, there’s a mechanic called MerWoke, that affects an entire household. Once a household is MerWoke, that’s when they start seeing merfolk swimming around with their fins. I actually think this mechanic is the reason why merfolk end up with glitched swimming. Depending on the household, merfolk are supposed to still appear human in the water… this mechanic really does not work as well as intended and that’s why I never said you won’t see merfolk swimming with a tail.
Ay, thanks for this info! I never knew, but my sims hardly ever see fins, so now I understand why it's so difficult to tell whether a random swimming sim is merfolk or not. I don't focus on the merfolk, I still never played them and did not explore the occult bit. So, I obviously never triggered the MerWoke feature ;)
