Underwater Lots in Island Living
Now, I've almost spent all my time playing as merfolk in Island Living. Merfolk sims are like other sims, but they have that half fish part to them and special abilities. While Island Living missed a ...

Absolutely love your thread, @Metior_Ice! Your knowledge about merfolk lore is impressive... and so your ideas to improve the gameplay! :smile:
100% agree about underwater lots, more merfolk powers and occult forms for kids and toddlers, just like alien kids!
If it helps, here go some additional tricks I use in my game!
Now, here go some gameplay mods that can add a bit of spice to the game!
- I believe there is also a mod that stabilizes mermaid hybrids (in the normal game they cannot properly transform into mermaids). That would be cool for making mermaid witches that can learn Chillio and Despairio!
Lastly, here goes my list of fav buildings for mermaid/pirate gameplay in the gallery. Specially love the mermaid grotto from the first video!

- Create different merfolk tribes and give them different looks and traits. For instance, in the case of selkies, give them black skin and tail and seal-like black eyes in their aquatic form, and make them skilled in music and dancing. Or make undines with greenish tails and send them to live in the Glimmerbrook forest!
- Use different traits from other packs, as you have done! :smile: Other traits that work great for mermaids: Waterproof / Animal Whisperer / Immune to Cold / Piper (can alter sims' emotions with music) / Alluring & Beguiling / Gym Rat / Great Story-Teller / Mastermind & Tormentor (great for evil-minded mermaids :)).
- Give them high skills in Fitness, Archaeology, Singing, Music (Violin goes great for them!) and Dancing. Also Mischief and Charisma :smile:
- Create a Merfolk Court with the Club system from Get Together and give them a designated spot in Sulani to hang out.

- Expanded Mermaids by Spinning Plumbobs. Not only adds extra options for mermaids (sleeping under the surface, dive deeper to catch exotic fish...), but also creates two new lifestates: sea witches and shapeshifting sea monsters.
- Siren Mod by Zero: creates blood-thirsty mermaids that can lure victims to the water for a drink. She also has other great ones like Deadly Siren Call and Kiss of Life/Ondine's curse.
