Maybe were getting a tropical pack with a mermaid life state ?

I really want Mermaids to be fleshed out. Plus I think it would be cool if they gave us underwater lots for our mermaids, with underwater pets, of all kinds of varieties. There really is a lot of stuff they could add in. Maybe new challenges to turn your mermaid into a human, like one way could be getting a regular sim to fall in love with you to keep your legs or your sea foam. But they could add a variety of ways to make your sim into a mermaid, or vice versa. Maybe they could add big aquariums so mermaids could swim with the fish at sims houses

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! :)

A secret underwater world would be amazing! It can be like Sixam in GTW, but for mermaids

I dont think we will get them unless we get the ability to swim in oceans again or some kind of special underwater lot. I personally have no interest in them as i feel in comparison to other supernatural life states that are still missing from the game they do less. I hope people get them though.

I don't think that Mermaids will be seen anytime next year, but in my opinion if any occults are added, I hope we will be able to Custamize their appearence as much as we could for vampires. Playing Aliens, and not having that ability to Custamize them as advencely as Vampires, kinda makes me mad. Vampires can have different glowing eyes, and different facial features that you could add to make the perfect Ancient Vampire, yet Aliens never had these features (you had Scale Makeup, but no actual permanent scales), you couldn't even give them an extra pair of arms or eyes, or even a tail (in Spore, I made my Female Humanoid Aliens VERY Alien-Like, and I especially liked giving them Tails). When Vampires came out, I always thought that it would be a great Idea to update Aliens to have similir features to Vampires (CAS Related), and I think that EA/Maxis is missing a great oppertunity not doing this.

Pretty much confirmed now, the next GP will be tropical vacation

Yeah. I hope they add the ability to swim to all the bodies of water already in the game though!

This. I'd be disappointed if the already existing bodies of water weren't swimmable.

I think we are getting strong hints on a tropical vacation pack. After all, it is summer in the Southern hemisphere in the next few months. And I'm excited that it's likely a GP, because the recent GPs have excellent quality, which is a good sign.

It would be really nice to have an underwater city with a mermaid pack but I'm sure I'm just dreaming! Dx

I absolutely loved mermaids and Island Paradise was one of my fav TS3 EP's. I loved diving underwater and discovering mermaids, treasures and eventually my sim became one as well. I would love if they returned in TS4 at some point!
