I'm not the only person who's had the idea to create a evil, seductive siren that drowns sailors(or sims in this case). But unfortunately Sims cannot directly drown sims, all they seem to be able to do is drain their motives and harass them for a number of hours hoping the will tire and drown! Correct me if I'm wrong. Quite disappointed actually :( Are you disappointed too? Let us know in the poll below!

Yeah, it's kinda disappointing, but I think there is a chance that they will drown, not sure since I haven't tried it out yet.I'm mostly disappointed that there wasn't an animation where the mermaid would pull down the sim. Kinda morbid perhaps, but still!

I thought there was a mermaid power that allowed them to summon a dark force that pulled another sim under, and had a chance of drowning them.

They can't even drown them indirectly it seems. Since they made a thing out of it, I'm kinda angry at the gurus right now. Don't tell people mermaid's can kill sims if it's not true, like wtf?

I hope the gurus are reading these posts & update the game to let sims do it.

I'd love it but also I am sure sims team would never add that especially for sims 4 as that is direct murder sim to simI am hoping modder to pick on that instead it might take some time though

Sims have never really been able to do harm to another directly that would result in killing so I'm not surprised. It's always been pretty indirectly. Still doesn't make mermaids any less dangerous because you can't just drown them right then and there. Had did it to a couple of unsuspecting sims swimming out into the ocean and their motives tank being all in the red. I haven't had any of them make it back successfully to land yet.

I mean...this. Never, in the Sims nearly 20 year run, has a Sim ever been able to directly kill another Sim without mods being involved.

A Sim giving an Elder a Death Flower scented Flower Arrangement.
Murder by aging. And it's pretty direct, as far as that kind of stuff goes.

Okay other than that, what else? Because I can’t think of a Sim ever able to kill another Sim like what users want mentioned above.

I thought you had to do the interaction twice to drown a sim. Been playing a different way but def want to play an evil mermaid eventually.

Does Medieval count? There were executions and duels to the death in that game.

Very good point.

Arghh.. I really wanted a dangerous aquatic sim. Can't they give us a text-warning or something if they are worried that players will accidentally kill a beloved sim.

I am very saddened by this. It was such a hassle trying to kill a group of sims with my vampire and influencing emotions. Now this...

So did I.
Anyone who finds a MOD please update us here of the author.

I'd use it, but not at all disappointed.

I’m not surprised or disappointed by this. I don’t think it makes a big difference in the majority of gameplay for most Summers.

I think it kind of fits with the overall tone of the game that there isn't a direct 'murder this sim' option. Although I do think mermaids are underdeveloped and would have liked them to have more depth and abilities

I think mermaids are neat but I don't like to kill off my sims so this isn't a feature I would want to use even if it was there.
