Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Deutsch
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except a few stuff packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a mermaid go into water, then reload the game (saveandexit, launch game) or go to edit world then return to sim.
What happens when the bug occurs? The mermaid will use standard human swimming animation.
What do you expect to see? Mermaid swimming animation
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
The bug goes away when i make the mermaid leave the water and return into it, but i wanted to know if this can be fixed so it doesnt happen at all.
I've troubleshooted the game, reset it to factory without reinstalling (though i didnt come as far as to replace the folders because the error appeared right away) and repaired the game.
No CC, no mods.
I tried it with mermaids which have been created in CAS, and with mermaids which turned into mermaids through eating the scalp.
I tried looking for this error online but the other thread with this issue has been resolved by resetting the game, which unfortunately didnt work for me.

This glitch also occurs after a mermaid has changed the weather.
