I thought for sure that this patch would fix the bug where children do not inherit the appearance of either parent if one parent is a mermaid... But looking at the patch notes, I guess they didn’t. I suppose they were focusing on their redesign
ugh so I still can’t play with mermaid families.

If I’m honest I was shocked that such a big and obvious bug made it into Island Living, especially given what a large part mermaids are of the pack. Then I thought there’d be an emergency patch which would fix it, but there wasn’t. And now it hasn’t even been included in this patch. Something tells me that mermaids will be left broken like vampires with the draught of reconfiguration. Sad times.

^ This. ^
I can think of no technical reason why this would happen. And only on born-in-game children and not in CAS.
I was looking forward to this patch just for this one bug fix... and they didn't deliver.
Are you really THAT surprised, they did ride that rebrand train HARD instead of focusing on bugs.
I'm not surprised, just angry partially because I should have figured that they weren't actually going to fix anything major
Okay I'm a bit unpleasantly surprised, sure. Genetics is such a fundamental part of what a sim is. There was a bug in 2014 that resulted in male sims getting a huge jaw/tiny eyes when they aged up. I don't know how long it took them to patch it because I wasn't playing TS4 back then. That was game-breaking. Or at least it would have been for me. This mermaids having no genetics thing is also game-breaking.
Then again, they fix one bug and introduce a million more so this is just par for the course at this point. So maybe if they fix mermaid genetics they'll stuff up vampire genetics instead. Or aliens. Hell, stuff up everyone's genetics while you're at it.
I'm just...tired. So tired and so over it
Genetics aside, this is why I downloaded vampire backfloat bug fix mod knowing full well that the new patch is gonna air in a few hours but I had no hope of the bug ever getting fixed officially, so I rely on modders to fix the bugs.

Oh I know this, I am being sarcastic, it doesn't surprise me one bit to constantly keep making us disappointed, I lost faith in them a LONG time ago.
