The main differences between male and female mermaids is how the little stripes on the feets are distributed as highlights on the tail shape and the distribution of the colour of the area around the ankles. it covers a much larger area of the fin compared to males (corresponds to upper thigh on legs)ģ - tip of the fin and a broad band around the hips (corresponds to lower thigh, ankles)Ĥ - highlights applied to all scales on tail base, as opposed to mere sparkles with males (corrsponds to stripes on feet) The distribution for females is slightly different though.ġ - basic tail colour (that's the main leg area)Ģ - main fin colour, i.e.

The distribution of the colours for a male mermaid's tail are such :ġ - basic tail colour (corresponds to the main leg area)Ģ - root of the fin ( corresponds to upper thigh on legs)ģ - tip of the fin (corresponds to lower thigh, ankles)Ĥ - highlighted scales on the tail (corresponds to stripes on feet) Now these areas correspond to a slightly different distribution of the colours on a mermaid's tail. There are four channels, and the distribution of the colours on a mermaid's legs are as such (from top to bottom): Note: in CAS you don't see the tail but only the scaly legs and the top-to-bottom order of the channels for the legs is different from the tail order. The CAS screen is similar to the Tattoo screen). You will have to play around with the colour wheel when you are in "Change Scale Color" in CAS (either use a mirror or MasterController, the command is under Sim/Basic. The thing with mermaid scale colours is that there aren't any presets that you can load and neither can you save any. babele44 Offered these suggestions in a recent Chatterbox Thread: How Do I Change The Scale Colors Of A Mermaids Tail?

If you want more inactive mermaids around town and not just in the dive lots and you are using SP, make sure you have immigration enabled and mermaids enabled. 0 = the Island Paradise world, 1 = all other worlds.

TIP: Increase the number of NPC mermaids in the pool (kMermaidHouseholdMembers) if you aren't relying on inactive mermaids to meet the kNumNPCMermaidsOnDiveLot criteria.
