Re: [Island Living] Do Waterproof Mermaids Hydrate in Rain?

Okay, sounds good. From what you're saying, it looks like it has no impact either way. If they had the trait before becoming a Mermaid, it won't stop their abilities, but if they don't have it, there's no need to waste my points buying it. Much appreciated. Thank you.

@iamsweetmystery   You're welcome!  As you suggested, it seems logical that mermaids would not react negatively to being wet.  Although, logic isn't always a factor in this game.  lol  So your question really was a good one.  Yes, save those points for some other reward trait.  The Stormchaser trait is a good one.  I hate that every sim runs around scared by thunderstorms.  Happy Simming!

Honestly gets me curious about other things as well, like what effect the Waterfall in a Bottle from jungle Adventures would have on a Mermaid. Since Hydration replaces the Hygiene Need, and it's effectively a huge bottle of water they pour over themselves to get clean or put out fires, it SHOULD hydrate a Mermaid (if the devs had the forethought to tie the two together.)

@iamsweetmystery   Another good question.  I just tested and can confirm that Waterfall in a Bottle does replenish the Hydration need. :-)

Nice. Thanks. I was going to send my current household there to check after they finished high school. Still going to go for the vacation, but now I know to stock up extra on Waterfall while I'm there. It'll be useful to have a few in their inventory in general for when they're out and about away from water. Fun little hack there.
