Line 31:
Mermaids have the same needs as regular Sims, with two main differences:
* '''Hydration''': In place of [[Hygiene]], there is a "Hydration" need, similar to water for a [[PlantSim]]. This can be satisfied by swimming in the ocean or a [[swimming pool|pool]], using the [[shower]] or [[bathtub]], or relaxing in a [[hot tub]]. If ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' is installed, they can also hydrate by standing in the rain. Dehydration will cause the Sim to dry out, giving them a negative moodlet. Eventually, they will pass out, and if another Sim does not splash water on them, they will die.
* '''Hunger''': Mermaids don't get much energy from normal meals. Instead, they require fish and kelp. Fish can be caught from [[Fishing (The Sims 3)|fishing]] or while [[Scuba Diving|scuba diving]] and can be eaten raw. Fish can also be bought at the grocery. If a Mermaid has the vegetarian trait, eating fish will make them nauseous, unless you have the [[Lifetime reward]] “Simmunity”. Kelp can be harvested from diving areas or purchased from the [[grocery]]. If a mermaid's hunger need is very low, eating two pieces of kelp is enough to fully replenish it. If you have [[The Sims 3: World Adventures]], pemmican from the [[Special merchant]] is the only other food besides sea food that fully restores their Hunger need.
Even if a Mermaid is well hydrated, they need to swim in the ocean at least once every 48 hours, otherwise, they'll get a "Salt Water Deficiency" moodlet. Within a day this will turn into "Adapting to Land" and when this moodlet expires, the mermaid will turn into a normal Sim. Purchasing the "'''Permanent Mermaid'''" lifetime reward will prevent the Mermaid from losing their occult status.

Mermaids return in ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living]]''.

* The statue "Poseidon's Fury" and the "Trident's Spring Fountain" from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]'' both show mermaids outside of ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]''. There is also a mermaid statue in [[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]] named Siren's Call.
*If ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' is installed, mermaids are immune to zombification.
* Mermaids are also immune to being transformed into a tragic clown.
* ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' has two clothing pieces and a hairstyle which have a look akin to that of a mermaid.[[File:Trident's Spring Fountain.png|thumb|150x150px|Trident's Spring Fountain]]
Line 116 ⟶ 119:

* While Mermaids in ''Island Paradise'' had few benefits and abilities, mermaids in ''Island Living'' are the first to have proper powers that mimic their mythology, such as Mermaid's Kiss and Siren's Call.
* Unlike in ''Island Paradise'', mermaids in ''Island Living'' that enter in the bathtubs, will have their tails lying outside the tub.
* Mermaids in ''Island Living'' have a twitch where they will randomly imitate a dolphin squeak.
* A Sim with the [[bot fan]] trait cannot become a Mermaid.{{Vgversion|TS3:ITF}}
