Where are the mermaids?

I'm wondering this as well. Though, what seems like a normal sim might actually BE a mermaid. The one time I asked a sim "Are you a mermaid"?" I got a negative reaction, so...I'm not asking anymore.

But no, I have not seen an actual mermaid yet.

Good to know it’s not just me. My sim is friends with Nalani and I know she is one but I really want to see one in the water.

A few times in Mua Pel'am - also during the day (this tended to be Nalana). But also frequently at night in the central / commercial part of Sulani (where the little festivals are, I can't remember the name right now). Once while my slim was sleeping, three mermaids were swimming right next to each other, almost as if in formation xD

Mermaids don't seem to show off their tail unless you have a mermaid in your household. I have tried to ask mermaid sims "are you a mermaid?" and they always tell me no, even with a high relationship. :o

I'm trying to find the mermaid that was in the trailer, but I don't have a clue where she is.

Edit: Found her.

i add a merman from the gallery, sent my sim over to say hi. and lets swim together. i wanted to see the tail in action. he swam like a regular sim. and yes he was a merman. i turned off my mods, i only use mcc. but i thought hey you never know. and still no tail! what's up!? :(

They're in disguise. You have to add a mermaid into your household or become one yourself or perhaps become really really really good friends with them before you find out they're mermaids

I'm playing as a mermaid. I've seen a mermaid and a merman but have not found Nalani yet at all.

Also, I've been blowing the conch shell with no idea what it does! Now I know what it should do haha.

I'm playing with an ordinary human sim. She's been hanging out with Nalani, and I've also created a household of three mermaids and moved them into town. But neither Nalani or any of these three are ever in mermaid form as far as I can see, not even while swimming.

I hope I'll be able to see them in mermaid form by befriending them, because I would prefer my active sim to stay human.

I wonder why that is because I saw a merman in mermaid form even tough my sim did not know him. He was actually speaking with two normal sims in the water while swimming.

Also walk the beaches. My sim has been in Sulani for about 3 sim weeks now and in the commercial district random shells are spawning right on the beaches. One was an "ordinary conch" and when you blow on it mermaids will gather. I did it and it worked and my sim isn't a mermaid. Prior to that though I did see some just swimming in the lagoon near the public beach access at sunset a few times.
