Mermaid: Difference between revisions

*'''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 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 live on fish and kelp. Fish can be caught from [[Fishing (The Sims 3)|fishing]] or while [[Scuba Diving|scuba diving]], and can be eaten raw. If a mermaid Sim has the Vegetarian trait, eating fish will make them nauseous. Kelp can be harvested from diving areas.

 

Even if a mermaid Sim 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.
