Ideas for mermaids in TS4!
i've been thinking of what i would like to see if mermaids return (pretty please) for TS4 and wanted to share and hear what ideas other people have. :p
this isn't a fleshed out plan, just some ideas.
CAS:
1. tails - we should still be able to customize their tails... since we don't have the color wheel, we would have a color palette like with everything else. i think a decent selection of colors and a few patterned tails inspired by different tropical fish would be nice.
2. hair - longer hairstyles! nothing too crazy but a bit longer than what we have now. when i think of mermaid hair i also think of braids + flowers. long hairstyles and beards for mermen too!
3. accessories - lily pad hat, coral crown, pearl/shell jewely, starfish earrings, new tattoos, etc.
4. clothing - seashell bra, starfish bra... (i don't think they should be limited to these like TS3 though)
GAMEPLAY:
1. if we got a large tropical world in a separate EP, a mermaid Game Pack could add a new smaller sized world. i'd love areas where mermaids could lounge about like the lagoon in Peter Pan. maybe something like this secret lot that screams mermaids to me:

2. mermaids living in caverns like the one above. this may be unlikely but i'd love it. they could fish for their food, bathe in a waterfall for their hygiene (or just have hydration like TS3), etc.
3. mermaids themselves would mostly be the same as TS3 (hydration, love seafood, etc)... with a few tweaks. for example no showers. imo they should bathe in a tub with their fin sticking out. (a la Splash, Aquamarine, Charmed...)
4. mermaid children! (and toddlers if we get them)
5. Sea Hag or Sea Witch NPC that can give you legs or a tail!
INTERACTIONS:
1. talking to fish in aquariums or bowls for social needs/goofy animations
2. playing in waterfalls like TS3
3. swim together as a group
4. lounging on rocks
5. serenading sims
6. sims can rub their tails for good luck
7. conch instrument
i'll add more ideas later, i wanna hear you guys' ideas too!
