    This mod is making me actually want to start playing The Sims 4 again once it releases publicly. Mermaids are my favorite mythical creatures and I was so disappointed how EA handled them in this pack. Your mod just knocks it out of the park. So creative and so well done!

      Same. Merfolk and aliens were nerfed SO hard. I'm overall very happy with Vampires and Spellcasters even though I would enjoy a few more magic for them, it was really disappointing to see how nerfed merfolk and aliens were. This significantly improved my merfolk gameplay but I am praying to God someone makes something interesting to beef up the aliens because holy fuck. We went from being able to abduct Sims, summon meteorites, and cause alien invasions to literally... nothing. And there's so few interactions for aliens to have with other aliens.
      I'm thinking like a UFO saucer type scanner that functions similarly to the UFO in Sims 3 would be a good start. Like maybe you can trigger an abduction and do a "mini invasion" and let the tiny flying saucer shoot lasers at other Sims and scan things for information XD. This next idea might be way too outlandish for the constraints of the game but aliens having force field powers and being able to create barriers that have a variety of affects and interactions would be really cool and definitely goes with the alien and space fantasy vibe ^_^. I've actually tried to commission people to make some kind of alien mod to enhance their gameplay but sadly no one is interested. I've been trying for 2 years and no one will take my money to make the mod 😭😭😭😭. Aliens and witches are my favorite types of Occult Sims.

      His Lycans are so much better than canon, furrybait werewolves. Even after the pack came out, he worked the lycans into the canon lore in a way it actually makes sense. He even came up with a backstory for Greg. The only thing I dislike is that his occults are not designed to accommodate hybrids.

      @Raptorworld22 24 дня назад

      If you want a decent vamp overhaul, Zeromods has one designed for a more neutral or evil playthrough (kill sims by drinking their blood, make them cattle, etc), also made a really good necromancer addition to the magic pack.

    tbh TS4 would be borderline unplayable if it weren't for mods, and this mod (along with your werewolf mod) are genuinely more impressive than every EP EA has released. the creativity, depth of storytelling and obvious time and care spent making this truly sets it apart as one of the greatest mods out there imo. thank you so much for dedicating your time and expertise to create such an immersive (no pun intended lawl) gameplay experience. you are truly appreciated in this community!

    There are not enough words to express how wonderful this is. When island living came out there were some expectations that were definitely unfilled for mermaids. Later occults, and even vampires, had things that made them very cool, but mermaids....
    My point is- You did a wonderful, spectacular job on this modpack. The animations, the details, the new skills, are all amazing. I haven't played sims in sometime but for this mod, I'll play everyday. Keep up the great :)

    When she turned into a mermaid from the contact with water it reminded of the line from the movie,Splash 'behold the mermaid'.I loved the music score from that movie.The dude mixing those potions is he wanted to sing 'Poor unfortunate soul'.Drafting contracts just like Urasula and Rumpleslskin.

I’ve played it for hours and still have so much more to explore. It really gives mermaids in the sims 4 justice with so much fun gameplay. Seriously amazing job you are so talented ❤

    Love this new update. Watching this I was thinking about all the popculture references in it. Gillyweed is from harry potter, then there is all the little mermaid stuff with the seawitch. The abilities had me thinking about h20/ mako mermaids. That of course then had me thinking about what is not here and could be included in a future update. Like where is the God of the Sea Poseidon himself? And another ability/ skill - making merilia (the life-force of the sea) from the barbie mermaid tale movies. Creating nightmares come true and whirlpools to trap sims in.

    I don't know what magical algorithm brought me here as I've never seen your work before, don't usually watch videos about mods either but WOW this is amazing. Shows just how much Sims 4 is lacking! This mod is right up my alley - when I do play with Sims 4 I like Sulani and the merfolk. The generalised mermaid stuff looks particularly great - why we haven't got a refresh from EA with mermaid skill tree is beyond me and why they never let the mermaids sunbathe on the floating loungers with their tails right from the get go!
    Sea witch stuff could have been done too with a cross pack compatability of Realm of magic (the ingredients that is but not so much the contracts as that would infringe on Disney plagiarism and not be Simmish or mermaid broad enough but I'm sure something else might have worked if they had an ounce of creativity that modders do.) What a fantastic job you've done!!!

    Love this mod, but I'm encountering some issues. Is there a specific place to submit support tickets? If not, I'll just put it here:
    I get exceptions when I try crafting any of the items on the stove/oven. I tried looking for books 2 and 3 for mermaid lore, but they don't exist, even in debug. I also can't seem to find the sea witch grimoire despite diving deep over a dozen times. For the record, I don't have Outdoor Retreat, so if that's a requirement for crafting on the stove, it's probably a good idea to add that to the requirements list (at least as a 'soft' requirement).

Only volume 1 of the mermaid Lore shows up and ONLY in build/buy mode. I can't make anything that I have learned; it shows up but when you click nothing happens even if you have all the things. I found the special conch but even with the sea witch cauldren and the conch in inventory I can't summon sea witch. I love love love the idea of this mod though and the things I CAN do are super fun and really improve the game play!

    Have you ever thought of adding more to the mermaid mod?👀 like once the mermaid is exposed people can either hate them or like them, or when someone confesses to being a mermaid, there could be an option for sims not to believe them or sims get “tested”
    It sounds like a lot I apologize 😭 I just truly love your mod! And you are amazing. I have many ideas! I love mermaids lmaoo.

    can you add more reactions to a sim finding out they’re a mermaid like they can be suspicious and parents get concerned when their human child is one?
