I’m glad it helped. I honestly wish there was a way to explore an underwater world with merfolk or follow them when they dive under. The underwater world and family are two of the most important themes for merfolk and most merfolk stories and movies.
Right now, it’s possible to create an underwater setting and then use Andrew’s pose player to freeze the sims in place for a screenshot. However, I don’t want to mislead on the limitations. You can create phenomenal still images but animations are very different for a video recording.
I really do hope to see something you share. Even the screenshot still images can be difficult to capture.
Creating an underwater setting is very possible but the screen captures are a bit different. From my time playing merfolk on two different platforms, the PS4 and PC, I do know how things are different with custom content and mods.
For the PS4, I recommend looking at things more like H20, just add water, Mako Mermaids, or the Thirteenth Year.
On the PC, things like the Little Mermaid and depictions of Atlantica from the movies, tv series, and comics as well the Kingdom Hearts depictions of the World Atlantica are all going to be much easier to pull off on the pc with mods and custom contents. Many of my story screenshots cannot be achieved on the Console where modded content is impossible because it isn’t supported.
All that being said, there are very cool ways to approach telling stories on land and camera angles will be your friend if mods are not an option.
My hope is to one day get an underwater world for merfolk, and that’s why I’ve spent so much time pushing the boundaries of what is possible for that.
I kinda hoped there is going to be some underwater kingdom in the new pack 🙃
But according to some surveys, underwater world is on the top of community wants list, so there is still hope 😁
I havent even started with my underwater venue, I am trying to wrap up some old stuff first cause my gallery is starting to look like a graveyard of unfinished projects 🙄 I wont bet building anything too fancy, but your tips will sure help me alot =)
The only Merefolk I have right now are land merefolk ;p Ill post some pics later but its nothing exciting ;p
Thanks for running this thread, it helps all other merefolk lovers, its hard to find any info out there ❤️

Best of luck, and I definitely feel like an underwater world to explore with merfolk is something the Sims 4 desperately needs. It’s possible to create that, but the real struggle is in animations, underwater gameplay, underwater physics, and having something that isn’t tails walking around on land. Sims 3 had a lot of what I would be looking for with Sims 4 being that plus. At least, that’s what I hope for. I look forward to seeing what you create.
