Playing with Mermaids is Depressing :((
Basically because of what they can do. They have abilities but most of the wonderful animations are on water.... base game worlds up to Pre-Island Living worlds (except evergreen harbor) has no Swimma...

I don't like that TS4 is world specific about many things. Such as the mermaids are basically confined because not all worlds have bodies of water that can be used. But aliens, vampires and magicians can live in any world and not see too much limitation. I don't understand Maxis sometimes (other than can't edit base game worlds etc.) because as much as they want to claim TS4's worlds (and players say it, too) are travelable unlike TS3, TS4 is more like TS3 than meets the eye when things like mermaids are restricted to a lesser life if you play one anywhere else other than the world they came in. Might as well be playing TS3 if worlds can't be connected for mermaids or any other life form that is restricted by geography. And there would be more to do, anyway. :D
