I got Island Paradise a few days ago and have been fighting with it since I installed it. I know EA is more preoccupied by the Sims 4 right now, but I still paid good money for this expansion pack which is turning out to be extremely bugged and it would be nice to have it work wrote: I have no custom content (and never have), and only just installed overwatch today, but the mermaid tails problem was present before installing the mod. Not a huge deal for me since my sims could still have their tails and scales, but a little bothersome and takes away from the major reason I was still hanging onto the hope of getting Island Paradise to work. In all of my Island Paradise games none of the npc mersims have had scales or tails, as the OP said.
I went into Sunset Valley and successfully built a custom dive lot and island for a mer-family to live on, but when I moved the family into the lot the game completely glitched and dropped them in the middle of the town, needless to say I quickly gave up on that idea and went back to the glitched Isla Paradiso. I have the common lag/freezing issue that I never had before installing Island Paradise, which none of the suggestions I found online have fixed (Deleting the Scott family and house, installing overwatch, etc.). I have removed all custom content and started again from installation but still nothing. It seems a minor issue but the mersims were the main appeal of this EP and it rather spoils it that the 'mersims' I am discovering in the ocean just look like people. But all the townie mersims remain tailless. It was like it was missing from the game entirely in all but the icon.Īs a further experiment I got a normal sim to ask about becoming a mersim and he transformed - complete with tail and scales. Out of curiousity I asked one to move in and tried changing the scale colours in the mirror but once the CAS page appeared, clicking on 'colors' did nothing. This didn't change so I uninstalled the game, rebooted, reinstalled and started a new savegame. They swim like mermaids and breathe underwater and all mersim interactions are present but they look just like normal sims.Īt first I thought this was a CC conflict so I removed all my custom content and ran the game without. The mermaid townies that appear in the diving spot in Island Paradise do not appear to have any tails or scales. I gather this is quite a rare problem but it's really bugging me.
