Maybe were getting a tropical pack with a mermaid life state ?
Due the symbols found in the game, some were tropical but there was a mermaid symbol. I think we might get a mermaid life state with a tropical pack.

I am all for mermaids/mermen, but the TS3 version was so basic. To be fair though, so were vampires, and werewolves at first. Now we have my favorite version of vampires to be introduced to a sims game so far! Beautifully designed outfits, a variety of different appearances and an awesome vampire leveling system with classic abilities! Love it!
It would be cool if they could make an expansion pack geared toward a beach/island vacation theme. Including, an underwater mystery involving the lost city of Atlantis, or something similar. (maybe with an unlock-able lot that you have to find pieces to a puzzle or raise a certain skill to access) That way there's something interesting to discover in underwater lots through scuba diving! (or exploring as a mermaid)
Considering the way occult life states have been handled so far, I'd imagine you would be able to create a mermaid from the CAS screen like vampires and aliens. Otherwise becoming a mermaid could happen by earning a magic charm from a mermaid npc you befriended, or finding 'mermaid kelp' in the unlocked underwater lot. (Or ya know, have a baby with a mermaid) Oh! Speaking of mermaid babies, there needs to be like a tide pool or a kiddie pool where toddler mermaids can swim with their little tails! (or maybe tentacles)
Of course there needs to be more customization options for their appearance. Different shaped fins, different kinds of fins(tail, dorsal, etc.), different scale shapes and patterns, scale patterns for their faces and body, fins for ears, ocean themed accessories(jewelry, crowns/headbands, tops made of woven seaweed and shells and such) and maybe make it so they can have tentacles instead of fish tails. It would be really cool if they could adapt the create-a-style tool for their tail design!
Lastly game play. Maybe there can be a siren theme for the mermaids where they sing and it can change a sims mood. Mermaids can either sing a song for a single sim, or sing aloud to effect everyone in a room. Maybe communicate with sea life. Definitely should be able to control water; change the temp, freeze water into shapes or evaporate puddles. Maybe the mermaid's mood will have different effects on water. (ex. if their in a pool, and their angry, the pool water will start to boil) There could be water dancing, mermaid shows AAH! too many ideas! Sorry! I love mermaids and have thought about this...A...LOT. Then again I've enjoyed playing with all the different life states through the years. I can't wait to see what comes next! :)
