Mermaid tail and scale are not showing

[SimmerVee]

Hi, i've seen several mermaids in isla paradiso, both Triton King and Maya Ocean are seen swimming without tails but in human legs. my sim has married Maya and when i clicked 'change scale color' in the mirror, it entered into the modification page however there's no selections at all... the only thing to do was to click 'X' and go back to game...

help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you!!!

It's a bug.

I don't really know how to solve this.

WIll post in the helpers corner to see if anyone has come up with a solution.

possible to feedback to EA? hopefully they can fix it in the future update?

[crinrict]

It should be in the bug thread on thesims3.com.

Hopefully they are aware but tbh, with every day that passes, I'm less inclined to believe we'll ever get another patch.

i just played the game and realised that the only way to get the mermaid tail back was when the mermaid aged to the next life stage.

some mods may cause that issue too (if they haven't been updated to the newest patch level same as yours 1.63)  

without having to age the mermaid up this might work use the mirror using the “Change Scale Color” interaction on the mirror  with the mermaid and change the color of the tail and after that send to the pool or sea or if you have a pool on your lot

yes, mine is up to date.

fyi, changing the scale color didnt work. i couldnt change anything as no color charts shown.
the tail came back only when the mermaid aged...
