Anyone disappointed that mermaids cannot eat in the water?

I've been reading up and watching all the videos possible before purchasing the game later tonight. One person pointed out that mermaids can sleep and "relieve" themselves in the water (when bladder is low) and pretty much it is possible to live in the water withoit needing to go on land very often EXCEPT to eat.

I just thought this is silly. I know they have kelp (to turn other sims into mermaids or themselves human) BUT I think they should be able to "harvest food" maybe "dive for fish" & collect some kelp to eat & fish they can eat while in the ocean. It would be a simple animation of moving a piece of food to the mouth while in the water.

I wish this was in the game. I think it would add more realism and an extra level of depth meaning mermaids if they choose can live entirely in the sea.

    At least eating raw fish and any produce (fruits/herbs/vegetables) should be there if those are in the inventory already.


    Can they be eaten in the water though? Or do you have to leave the water to eat it?


    So far, I managed to test fruits. She ate it while swimming but the animation was... buggy.


    Is that just a glitch? Was it full swimming or just standing in the water?

    True but to players like myself who like to tell stories, something like this can be quite immersion breaking.
  • Shouldn't mermaids be able to free dive for normal seaweed/kelp on the buoys? And then eat those?

    Wait, what is this, exactly? Is this something a guru mentioned?

    Pretty sure the kelp they get is the magical one that will cure them or turn another sim a mermaid (I believe).
