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.
