Does anyone know if they plan on fixing the mermaid genetics?
I'm feeling really disappointed that I spent this money on a pack and mermaids are basically broken when it comes to them having children. I've basically ruined an entire generation in my legacy with this bug, and I'm really upset.
I know it's a known bug, though I don't know if EA/Maxis knows, but I hope so.

Mermaid genetics are borked, idk about two mermaids but a human and a mermaid having a baby, the baby will not have either parent's genetics. They'll simply look like a random generated townie.
MCCC had my back on getting the genetics right (and even then I had to make a "proxy child" in cas to transfer the genetics from) but it was a pretty disappointing discovery.
Yeah, the only time mermaid genetics work is in CAS. So, my two super pale sims had a super dark baby who looks nothing like them. It's really annoying.

@nerdfashion yep there is a bug. If a baby is born in game to 2 mermaids or to a mermaid and a non-mermaid sim, it will grow up to look like neither parent. It will basically be a randomly generated townie. The genetics do work if you make their kid by playing with genetics in CAS (which just isn’t the same, though).
@GGgkkg the bug is also present if two mermaids have a baby

Someone else already had, so I didn't.

The tail only shows for teens and older.

> My sims born to a mermaid and a non-mermaid are mermaids but don't use thier tail when they swim...disappointing
Confused no longer!!!!
You probably need testingcheats on (its always on in my game because MCCC so don't remember) then with the mersim selected, enter Traits.equip_trait trait_OccultMermaid_TYAE in the cheat window. I've done this with randomly generated mersims I've moved in with my sims. Its an accepted/recommended workaround on the AHQ bugpost I believe.
