Yeah one thing I failed to mention is that my sim was in the level 8 career option, so once you level up once more, you should have the option at red buoys.
@MezzoBlaze Just wanted to add to my post: Tested your suggestion with my sim level 8+. Mermaids can do it but it doesn't register for the task discussed in the thread ("surveying ocean wildlife").
Like @Saturn-Sublime said: "surveying ocean floor" is not the same task as "surveying ocean wildlife".
I dunno then, it works for me just fine. Everytime I do it it marks the task as complete.
Hello Fellow Simmers, after reading alot on this subject, I concur with MezzoBlaze that your Mermaids can Survey Ocean Floor and it will count towards the daily task of Survey Ocean Wildlife. I have just completed this by going to a deep dive buoy.
The Survey ocean floor work around is not a viable solution. I e tried this many times and it never counts for my mermaid.
