    PeteyPlaysIt: "Since Mermaids are so lovable, having an evil one isn't the first thing that comes to mind."
    Me: "Okay but the sirens of ancient Greek mythology literally murdered sailors"

      In Greek Mythology Sirens had the body of a bird and the head of a woman, they aren’t the same as mermaids. Mermaids were mainly painted as evil a long time ago, but due to the misunderstanding between sirens and mermaids, the mermaid’s reputation got better.

      ​@@LightOnThePond Meanwhile, in some cultures Mermaids are sea spirits that sing at Sea and can do a number of things, abduct people, curse them or bless them, they're almost always considered dangerous in the Caribbean.

    - The feral mermaid
    The feral mermaid is my favorite to play as! I make a mermaid sim, give myself 0 simoleons, and run away to the sea, and ONLY the sea! And if you have the Expanded Mermaids mod, that makes it oh so much more fun, because you can eat kelp and sleep underwater!

    There's certainly precedent for evil mermaids in mythology, especially if the sirens of The Odyssey are equated with mermaids, as is often the case. They're well known in that story for luring sailors to their deaths. In Witcher lore, mermaids and sirens are also typically murderous monsters. When it comes to mermaid lore, good/benevolent mermaids like Andersen's Little Mermaid seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

      Hydration is not so harsh in 4 like it was in 3, if you want to put your sim doing some activities, summon the rain and they'll be slowing hydrated. I've doing it often with my painter merman

    I've created two weresalmon that are spies. Sans actual marine saboteur gameplay mechanics. If I could make them jump higher, fight sailors, or carry weapons (like a harpoon,) I'd be that much closer to having a decent Anarteq game pack. I also made one a were-shark, so I can have Kamohoalii in the game. Still working on Merrows. They're a bit harder to get right.

I kicked out all the starter families there and made a bunch of mermaids. I specifically made a spa for him to go work at. Now that I think on it, his roommates are a flirty mermaid and an evil mermaid. Hmm... we had a few of the same ideas!
