A mermaid swimming underwater

Mermaids are a life state introduced in The Sims 3: Island Paradise. Mermaids are creatures native to the sea, and have a colorful scaly fish-like tail while in the water. Mermaids are excellent swimmers and divers, and are able to breathe and survive underwater indefinitely. Mermaids can also walk on land; their tails change to scaly legs. However, mermaids must return to the ocean periodically or they will eventually become a non-mermaid. When on land, mermaids require frequent hydration, or they can become dehydrated and eventually die.

Players can create mermaids by having normal Sims eat mermadic kelp, which the Sim can obtain by befriending a mermaid, or by purchasing a lifetime reward. Mermaids can also become pregnant with another mermaid or a non-mermaid Sim - if one parent is a mermaid, there is a 50/50 chance that a baby born will be a mermaid. Mermaids cannot be created in create a Sim.
