Oh, I'm always coming across sharks. 😃 Sometimes I get chased around but usually I'm able to just watch them. I've collected a few small ones and put them in the large fish tank. 😛 I've only seen the silhouette of the kraken so far. I'm waiting for him to do something to a boat one day. 🙂
Definitely try a mermaid sim. I usually have the scale color as light to mid purple. It's a lot of fun. Just make sure to harvest a lot of kelp. It's the only way to keep the sim from getting hungry real quickly. 😃
My favorite sim types are mermaid first, witch, and then fairy. 😉 I haven't done much with vampires, werewolves, or genies though. 😳 I also like to keep at least one plumbot around. 😃 Or Bonehilda. 😃 The bots I can customize though. 😉
