imo they're still a step up in most ways. the animations of their tails are fantastic, especially compared to TS3. they actually have a tail in the bathtub, which is something i really wanted in TS3 (i love the movie Splash, lol). the siren abilities, although ik some people aren't totally happy with them, are still more than mermaids in 3 had. (i was hoping they were more dangerous too after all the hype from gamechangers) i think the customization is a big improvement too.
my thing, aside from no diving, is that mermaids definitely deserved more animations. especially because there is no diving. :/ i wish they would patch some in. they add free content in patches sometimes, why not upgrade mermaids a little in a patch one month? i'm not an animator, so idk how much goes into it, but some of them could've been so simple and even reused if necessary. it would've been worth it. a super simple one for eating in the water, the option to dive for fish (literally could just reuse the dive animation and add fish and/or kelp to their inventory. even dolphins can dive for mermadic kelp, and mermaids can pull fish out to feed dolphins. or they could go under water and do their little swipe animation if possible), a tail in the kiddie pool and the hot tub (i know they said it's because it only happens when "submerged"... but they're just as submerged in the kiddie pool and hot tub as they are in the bath tub), one to replace snorkeling (mermaids can't do anything underwater but humans can... whyyy). and if possible, sleeping underwater and maybe one for the transformation. (even reusing the vampire/plantsim transformation and using the little fish effect or some bubbles would be better than nothing.) i'd be so much happier if those were in the game. i do enjoy them overall, they just could be more complete.

Even if they just made several spots in the shallows were mermaids could harvest kelp/fish and where there was like a leafy sea bed for them to go under and sleep would be fantastic.
