Not too excited...
Anyone else with me? I usually love expansions and as a Sims fan, I just feel this expansion is lacking in gameplay. The neighborhood and items look beautiful but beautiful items aren’t enough to just...

As a mermaid player, I prefer how mermaids (sirens) are done in this pack, so to me, it’s worth it. They did more with mermaid here than in Sims 3, though I do miss the Kraken call, and having dive lots.
(I tried and tried to play Sims 3, but I just got bored with Sims 3 mermaids a lot, as they didn’t really have much going for them besides the one cool Kraken thing. They didn’t lullaby sims or enchant sims. They were just there to be regular sims, which I already don’t like much in Sims 3, who look pretty in the water... and that’s really it. They were basically just boring eye candy who dried out a lot for me, lol.)
I haven't read about their powers yet, but if it's just about mermaids for some then this could have been a GP as it seems so much smaller than past EPs of older games that offered ten times more in them.
I feel like screaming right now: Listen, while Sims 3 had tons of stuff, still didn’t enjoy Sims 3 that much!!!.
I don’t CARE how much stuff you can put in a pack, if I still don’t like the gameplay or the sims themselves! (I couldn’t get close to Sims 3 sims like I did with Sims 2.)
So what do I have for mermaids? Sims 1 and 2 didn’t have mermaids, and they don’t have some of the features I’ve liked in the newer sims games.
So, guess what? I only got Sims 4 left. Luckily, I’ve enjoyed Sims 4 enough to go over the rough edges.
I don’t really care about past games anymore, and I’m moving on. I’m finally, finally getting some decent mermaids out of a pack that no past Sims games ever did for me.
And there are other content I would enjoy in this pack, so I’m good to go.
Sure, it’s not as much as past Sims, but I’m done with the past Sims, as I no longer like to play them anymore.
So, yeah, I’m still excited about the pack despite the limitations. It’s still a Sims game in that we’re playing dollhouse and taking care of virtual beings, so I’m good.
It looks like there are enough Sims 4 fans to keep this iteration going, so I’m going to keep paying for the packs because I care about my own enjoyment and I actually like the content.
I got the best mermaids a Sims game has actually given us, and I’m NOT going back to the old games where I had to use mods to make mermaids actually fun to play with.
