Still problems with teen/kid mermaids even when CC removed.

More and more problems. Even though I removed the CC that people were suggesting made the problem, need bars on only child mermaids still fail to display properly; The sim complains about being hungry, needing the toilet or a bath but an empty bar displays as green. Random bars (energy, social or hunger) will only display as yellow. This continues into teenhood.

Only mermaids do not gain a new trait on age up to teen. The teen mermaid continues to show wants and fears from childhood; like fear of the dark. Aged up mermaids no longer show tails when in the bath...

I want to add that I HATE the fact that skills are now FORCED upon our sims when going to school.

I'm sure the devs were beaten into learning athletic skills like professional hockey as well as Kendall Coyne or caned until they could cook like Gorden Ramsey at primary school, but do they really have to take it out on the player base?

It's called a GUI (graphical user interface) not a VIUI (you'll learn whatever the hell pops into the games tiny little interaction loop and swallow it) x)

You could fix this by having a limit on skill level by what school level a sim is at. An exam at the end to unlock the next level of skill. Skills are still learned by interacting with other sims and hidden until the player chooses to promote them to the skill bar and start learning them! A tab on the traits bar that can take us into design-a-sim where we can choose to have a sim converse about all chosen subjects autonomously or not, helping to limit the crowded conversation wheel and have different sims that may like or dislike talking about a subject.

Look around your workspace I'm sure you'll suddenly realise not everybody in real life is as enamoured by practicing mischief on their family as you are! x)
