This thread has gotten rather busy this week!
For the islands, I currently have Beryl Shoals, the adventure-at-the-resort one, the collect the map pieces one, and the one from the Pearl dive lot. I have a couple of mermaid friends, but they never show up when I'm diving - only other humans. But I"m currently hoping to get that one for my 5th island.
I did it the other way around, and, besides, not all mermaids qualify... You need those "special" NPCs merdais, like "Salty Seaworthy" (easiest way to recognize them is they keep their "normal" legs underwater. Get acquainted with one at "his/her" diving spot, meet him again latter ashore to get "Good Friend" or better, then return to the same diving spot at that "Mermaid"'s normal business hour (they tend to go to "Diving Spot" as if it was scheduled. Once you see him/her there, make a first social interaction (any) and then wait. The mermaid will "Talk about Seaweed", sharks and such, but eventually will engage in a special interaction that will end up the two of them traveling to the island.

I did get the 2 of each genre badge today, so that's one more down. I also managed to win a pie-eating contest somehow, so I'll have her try hotdogs when the season rolls around. (I've avoided that badge because I tend to think eating competitions are disgusting.) I did think it was rather funny though when she came home with pie all over her face and I discovered a key lime pie in her inventory - no idea where she picked that up - and I told her to 'clean it up' after her shower. She got a wasted food moodlet - not for all the berry pies she'd gorged on but the one she threw away.
I think eating competition are gross too, and, in the game, sims keep throwing up during and after them...

I do need 'Alien Tech'; will an alien child work (once she's grown up a bit) as well as a witch?
The "Witch" purpose was only to "Magically Upgrade" rather that to upgrade the classic way. You need somebody who's level 7 and higher to upgrade the UFO, and I
*think* only "Adults" and older can use the UFO in those three special ways, but I also
*think* that if they group up with a "Child" or a "Teen", they can "Travel to Space" as a group.

That's the same one with the poor mauled teen whose fate seems to be continuing to get mauled. . . .
Well, wish I could help you more...
