I have attached screenshoots here of what is happening in my game, as you can see the tail is glitched or something. I don't know what is making this happen. I did have CC which was making the mermaid sim put pants on over tail in bathtub, I removed ALL my CC and mod file from my game and then came across this glitch after doing so. I dont know how long this glitch has been happening as Ive just recently got Island Living.
Any help would be much appreciated

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck

No mermaid hybrids, It was happening in one of my saves where she was wearing a pair of pants and shoes over her tail in the bathtub so took out my mods folder and created a new save in game to test it out and that's where the screenshots are from and the tail is glitching and no still have that file in my sims 4 folder.

Mermaid tail legs glitch (fix)
Hello! this glitch still commonly happens but I found another best way to solve it if you have tried any other method and still didn't fix it. You just have to remove the occult trait and re-add it back in, it reset the sims occult status and fixes the tail problems.
Hopes it helps
