    @Sasha3101998 Yup, that Sim definitely has some mixed info which explains why she shows the way she does.

    Mod issues have nothing to do with how experienced you are with mods. If the mod has a bug .. you will get a problem.

    I can see two causes for this:

    - There's now human/mermaid hybrids being created
    - A mod you use has a problem and it's causing the issue for the traits not being properly being assigned.

    The easiest thing to do would be to remove the hidden mermaid trait from the Sim which should make them a full human. You can then make her a mermaid again with kelp.

    If you have a backup from before the baby was born, it would be easiest to test without any mods at all to see if it gets born the same way.

@Sasha3101998 Since you use mods, can you try the Show/Search Sim Info Mod and check on the hidden traits the Sim has ?

Post a picture of the traits.

It's really hard to tell if it's mod related or not. Was the mom also an ingame born or did you create her ?

    I created the mom and she was not a mermaid to begin with, She was human to begin with and I changed her to a mermaid. I am not sure what you mean by traits but her traits are jealous, cat lover and ambitious. All my other mermaids are fine which makes it so weird. The father was human and the mother was a mermaid...Maybe it caused her to not be a full mermaid? This has never happened before though..I will post a screenshot that shows she does not have the hydration need either.

    Here are the hidden treats, and Yes I use mods and CC, but I am very experienced with them and I know when something is not working right which is why I have no idea what to do with this bug, because my other mermaids are perfectly fine. I posted the screenshots to this thread of the hidden traits...

    I did notice in the sims info it says her species is a human, but in create-a-sim it says she is a mermaid...I did try to see if the mermaid fruit would fix it and it did not. She has all the powers of the mermaid too, just no tail or hydration?? What is going on here?? This has to be a bug.

        How do I remove the hidden mermaid trait without deleting the sim? I do not know how to do that.
