Re: Mermaid scales and tails not showing up while swimming!!

Hello, @pennyjarkins  You are describing what happened to my Sim, so you are not in the wrong place.  When my Sims jumped into the ocean to swim in his mermaid form, his entire lower half disappeared and his face changed.

The way I fixed it is the way I described above.  Basically, I had him go to a mirror and I chose "Change Sim"  Once there, I clicked on his Mermaid form and it forced the game to generate a tail for him.  I was then able to change the tail to one of my liking and fix his face (he is clean shaven with dreadlocks in human form but for some reason the game gave him a full beard and bald head when in mermaid form).  Give that a try and see if it helps.

    I have the same problem, and can verify that the solution given by @Valnatron works. The problem indeed occurs when a normal sim eats a mermaid kelp. I hope when they fix this bug, they can have the default tail design and colour scheme matching the design and colour scheme of the swimsuit top that is being worn. And if there is no swimsuit top, then use a random tail. 

  • I have the same issue so I tried your solution but I can even edit the mermaid form. It is as if it wasn't existing at all. Do you have any ideas about how I could solve this problem?

    I have this sim that has born a mermaid (mother and father are mermaids). I can see his tail in CAS and I'm able to edit it, but it won't show in game. I have no CC in my game

    I'm having the same problem. And it's even happening with the premade mermaids like Paka Uha and Nalani, so idk what's going on.
