Justice for Mermaids

I agree completely and this is the thing I would like most from the game at this point.....justice for the merfolk!! 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️

I am so happy to finally have fairies officially in the game and I am having a lot of fun playing around with them 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️ - I am so glad they're fully developed but it is making me pine for a proper merfolk update more than ever - I see people requesting this over and over, so I really hope it comes at some point. 

As a starter as part of an update, I'd like to see:-

-Real underwater gameplay - hopefully with ability for merfolk to have their own lots

-A merfolk lot trait (ala Vampire Nexus and Fairy Passage lot traits) - I can't tell you have much I want to have a magical lagoon type lot frequented by fae and merfolk 

-Increased mermaid themed CAS including tail customisation offers and many more options (when you see how many wing types fairies have, the current three tail options for mermaids is meagre), lot of shell/seaweed themed assets that could be worn for masculine and feminine sims with ocean themed outfits that could be worn when in their human form (including the option for scaly legs returning from The Sims 3, this would be especially great for younger sims)

-Ocean themed furniture to create perfect homes for our merfolk (thing coral themed bed, seaweed curtains etc.)

-Merfolk skill tree of course with lots of different abilities available allowing merfolk to be either benevolent and malevolent 

-Option for "merfolk activities" to be an option in the Get Together club system 

-Merfolk lore (retconning the existing mermaid characters from IL and tying it with existing occult lore in the game) 

-Unique interactions with other occults especially fairies 

 -Increase options for merfolk to have their tails out for example, ability to bask on the beach and on rocks in mermaid form

-An unique crib for merbabies

.....then once merfolk have been given the options and gameplay they deserve, I'd love genies (with an Arabian themed world) and dragons (as developed as horses in a medieval themed world) - please and thank you 😉😊😅

Using cheats to make a fairy/mermaid hybrid totally came to mind, but if mermaids got their own skill tree I'd buy Island Paradise...quick, fast and in  a hurry.

Alien skill tree would be fun (weird alien quirks to special alien abilities), but I could see this as it's own pack too, an alien or future world, or a space station idea expanding aliens and advanced technology. Then the star wars pack could make more sense but I am more a star trek (especially next generation) person myself.

I always prefered it to make a fairy- mermaid hybrid in sims 3 to make them more mythological realisitic...will do the same with them in 4...

And aliens! All occults should have a skill tree. It's what makes the occults fun in the first place. You mean to tell me mermaids can just control water, no matter what?! No different water powers? No practicing? You're right.
