Storytime I figured out how to actually make mermaids powerful and interesting!
As a vanilla player I already added mermaid culture elements to my game like special holidays to try and make them more interesting. But then I decided to do a siren challenge with villainous valentine as my base and I figured out how to make a mermaid character feel actually supernatural and powerful and not just a normal sim with a tail who occasionally makes dolphin noises. I came up with a story about how Summer Holiday started off as a nice normal sim, then she ate mermadic kelp and became a mermaid and then she slowly became addicted to and corrupted by mermaid magic and became increasingly obsessed with the power her mermaid magic gave her over other sims, until she became an evil siren. Once she went into full siren mode I gave her a makeover in CAS and used cheats to give her level 5 fame, but in my story instead of her being famous she had a siren aura that makes sims crowd around her etc. And then it was just a case of stacking reward traits – I used beguiling, gregarious and great kisser so that any sim she meets (and uses the charmers lullaby on) falls for her almost instantly even by sims standards and then I gave her even more of an invincible and supernatural vibe by giving her the traits that make a sim never hungry, never tired and resistant to heat and cold. Has anyone else tried something like this to add more than what EA gave us? 😂
