Mermaid refresh

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!

Agreed. 

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

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.

Many simmers have wanted more gameplay and lore with mermaids since they came into gameplay. 

This occult needs a deep refresh with traits, foods and a real skill tree.

agreed with everything and level skills like some other occults has too

mermaids looks so useless here they need their own thing

I know mermaids would be better with a proper skill tree but given that we'll not get one, we could have little things to make them work better than they do now.

FEEDBACK:

• [City Living] Make mermaids have high initial singing skill (How can they sing that way and not have any?);

• [Seasons] Stop mermaids getting uncomfortable/frozing to death from swimming in cool temperature;

• [Seasons] Stop mermaids being scared of thunderstorms (They can literally control it);

• Ability to ghost mermaids to be on mermaid form and have the swimming animation as walkstyle;

• Stop mermaids always going to bodies of water (keep it to low/medium hydration);

• Stop "Pulled muscle" from swimming (They're built for that);

SUGGESTIONS:

• Turn the hydration need in a special bar like vampire energy bar (since they work similarly);

• Add "Underwater travel" interaction (similar to Tunneler werewolves): They should be able to travel quickly on water bodies knowing underwater tunnels;

• Add "Underwater food hunting" interaction (similar to Hunter werewolves): Living on water should be totally self sufficient for them.

@Apexsimmer1009 I agree! I love Sixam but even when i have a Sim with the portal thingy in their house, there isn't that much to do. Not only that, but when i have a Sim that is in the Scientist career, you can only stay on Sixam for such a short time, that it hardly seems worth it after you have been there more than 3 times.  I would love to see Sixam more fleshed out and it would be an excellent chance for them to update our aliens! 🥳

@Davis5022 , same here!  Mermaids and Aliens need more love! 

A mermaid refresh would be amazing. I was so disappointed when the pack came out and the lack of things the mermaids can do. I wish they had more abilities
