Ways mermaids could have been better.

Mermaids should been able to kill other Sims, indirectly.
Like capable of depleting their target energy motive to the point of last remaining moments to either "drown or swim to shore!" Kind of vampires with "Influence Emotion" to kill their enemies by emotion (even If it's cheesy, it made vampires really life-threatening to Sims which what makes the game engaging than cheerful.

Actually seduce Sims...
Than lamely turning their flirt mode. They're sirens, so why can't they command the Sims do the bidding while under romantic influence? Sort of like TS3's Genie "Enroll Sim", but them being stuck unchangeable flirty emotion. You could then raid stuff from their inventory and sell it for current household simoleans before throwing away the influenced Sim like a used towel.
  • This is really good. I wished there was a point system like vampires and celebrities too, so all mermaids were different. The lullaby thing is straight up boring and does nothing, the only remotely interesting thing is ocean's threat and pulling the sim under yourself, yet it takes multiple tries to kill them... Wish we could summon a sea monster, not just tease at it through ocean's threat.
