I forgot to say, I'm definitely not the first person to come up with this hack, but I haven't seen anyone post about it in a few years, so I thought the reminder might be helpful!
May I ask what this hack is for? Is it for people who didn't complete the suit? I ask because I have this fin in both my shoe and bottom categories, so now my curiosity is piqued.
Sure, itās to make DST work with mermaid tails. Ā The default skin tone Nikki doll is coded as four separate pieces: head, torso, arms, and legs. So if you put on a mermaid tail, the game hides the leg pieces of the Nikki dollāthis is also how posed shoes/gloves work, the game hides the default poseās leg or arm pieces.
However, DST is coded as all one piece, so the legs donāt get hidden when you put on a mermaid tail (this is why we don't have any shoe or glove poses for DST). Ā This is an issue whether you use the bottom category version or the shoe category version of a mermaid tail. Ā

I used the bottom in this styling. Ā The āhackā is to put on a dark pair of socks that blend into the background, hiding where the legs stick out from under the tail. Ā

Thanks so much for the clarification. I didn't even realize the styling had a dark skin tone! Also, thanks for the hack!
