yes, unfortunately. i like what is present, but i feel like there should be more considering this is an expansion.
my main complaint: mermaids. lifestates are one of my favorite parts of the Sims games, i need them to even fully enjoy the game. (favorites being witches, vamps, and mermaids.) i love how vampires were done, and i still have high hopes for witches/magic since there will be a dedicated GP. mermaids were a let down, sadly. :( i think the animation of their tails is beautiful and the customizability is great. i love the eyes and teeth, the tails are gorgeous. but they don't feel complete, consistent or special enough. i don't think they need an entire perk system like vampires or (hopefully) witches. but there are other details that would make them feel more complete, especially considering they can't dive. having a tail in a hot tub and kiddie pool. some sort of simple swimming underwater activity (such as snorkeling for humans). their tails aren't animated properly when they clean up garbage or when they doggy paddle. their hydration is a reskin of hygiene, a replacement makes sense, but a reskin makes it inconsistent, like interactions in the waterfall lower their hydration instead of fill it (i do like the fish speech bubble though, it's cute). i wish they had a bassinet, an urn/tombstone, and some sort of mermaid woohoo would be cool. the option to eat raw fish and kelp. a few special moodlets, like, one after talking to a fish in a fishbowl, or after eating human food, etc. also some build/buy would be appreciated, some mermaid themed items. also child mermaids would've been AMAZING, but i get that that would double all the work unfortunately. i could go on, but y'all get the point.
