Mermaid refresh

I've not yet played a mermaid but think I'd be more inclined if they were fleshed out like the game pack occults.

Agreed. 

I played them for a few hours once but quickly grew tired of their game play. 

I absolutely love the new expension pack, enchanted by nature, which is going to include fairies! I absolutely love all the supernatural sims like vampire, werewolves, ghosts, occults and now fairies! But let's all address elephant in the room... mermaids... why are they the only occult without a rank system and special abilities?? This has always been a huge downer for me as it makes playing with mermaids so much less fun and it makes them feel incomplete. 

PLEASE EA... UPDATE MERMAIDS WITH RANK SYSTEM AND SPECIAL ABILITIES! THEY CAN NOT BE LEFT BEHIND!
