This mod is making me actually want to start playing The Sims 4 again once it releases publicly. Mermaids are my favorite mythical creatures and I was so disappointed how EA handled them in this pack. Your mod just knocks it out of the park. So creative and so well done!
Same! 🌊✨
Same. Merfolk and aliens were nerfed SO hard. I'm overall very happy with Vampires and Spellcasters even though I would enjoy a few more magic for them, it was really disappointing to see how nerfed merfolk and aliens were. This significantly improved my merfolk gameplay but I am praying to God someone makes something interesting to beef up the aliens because holy fuck. We went from being able to abduct Sims, summon meteorites, and cause alien invasions to literally... nothing. And there's so few interactions for aliens to have with other aliens.
I'm thinking like a UFO saucer type scanner that functions similarly to the UFO in Sims 3 would be a good start. Like maybe you can trigger an abduction and do a "mini invasion" and let the tiny flying saucer shoot lasers at other Sims and scan things for information XD. This next idea might be way too outlandish for the constraints of the game but aliens having force field powers and being able to create barriers that have a variety of affects and interactions would be really cool and definitely goes with the alien and space fantasy vibe ^_^. I've actually tried to commission people to make some kind of alien mod to enhance their gameplay but sadly no one is interested. I've been trying for 2 years and no one will take my money to make the mod 😭😭😭😭. Aliens and witches are my favorite types of Occult Sims.
9:03 OMG H2O REALNESS !! And the way she evaporated the water just like riki did in season one at the pool party 😭
My guy is really out here spoiling us occult simmers 😭😭❤️ God knows if you ever work your magic on vampires I may never touch into realistic gameplay ever again LOL
I seriously could not be more grateful for your service. This and your werewolves mod have to be among my absolute favourite mods to play with. Thank you for giving our fish sims the update they so desperatly needed 🧜♂️💙
Bruh imagine his aliens overhaul
His Lycans are so much better than canon, furrybait werewolves. Even after the pack came out, he worked the lycans into the canon lore in a way it actually makes sense. He even came up with a backstory for Greg. The only thing I dislike is that his occults are not designed to accommodate hybrids.
when island living came out i thought i could finally play h2o just add water but ea made mermaids really boring. but this mod makes mermaids really fun to play. im so excited right now. thanks for your mods🙏
Your work is unbelievably underrated and you deserve more attention. What you are doing is game changing and I cannot wait for more mods in the future. Your Werewolf mod before the official game pack came out was all I ever played with. You are amazing, keep going! :D
Same with their watches vs fairies mod. I hardly ever play with spellcasters now.
Im just so shocked right now. This is so much work and so much new content for the game. It all looks so amazing and executed perfectly!!
This is absolutely FANTASTIC the sensitive scale weakness adds so much depth to the sims mermaid DEFINITELY never going back to playing with mermaids without this mod
tbh TS4 would be borderline unplayable if it weren't for mods, and this mod (along with your werewolf mod) are genuinely more impressive than every EP EA has released. the creativity, depth of storytelling and obvious time and care spent making this truly sets it apart as one of the greatest mods out there imo. thank you so much for dedicating your time and expertise to create such an immersive (no pun intended lawl) gameplay experience. you are truly appreciated in this community!
I love that there is an animation and visual for everything is is honestly so beautiful wow
I’m not even finished but this makes me so happy, mermaids feel so much more magical. Thank you! :))
Thank you for modders! This mod will be prefect for my mermaids. I barely play them but this is definitely going to a game changer for them 😵💚
This is like an entire game pack! I love what you have done its amazing, i want to do an entire mer legacy!
Okay but the whole forming a tail if you touch water and drying yourself off with magic powers gives me hella H20 Just Add Water vibes 👀
i know the mod took a very long time and i hope you managed to include everything you wanted to. also i'm happy i waited because from what you've shown here, i'm confident that it has been worth it!!
i really love playing with mermaids in the sims, but i've been really bummed out at how little they can do, this is a really really great extension to them and adds so much of what i hoped for and more!! thank you
Modders are a godsend for the sims, TS4 in particular. It infuriates me how EA has us pay so much for packs yet cannot deliver on things that we deserve for that price. Thank you so much for this mod
the mods you and the rest of the modding community make makes me mad. it’s so easy for the sims team to include these features in updates or packs, but they’re too lazy to care. so excited to play this! it looks amazing!
There are not enough words to express how wonderful this is. When island living came out there were some expectations that were definitely unfilled for mermaids. Later occults, and even vampires, had things that made them very cool, but mermaids....
My point is- You did a wonderful, spectacular job on this modpack. The animations, the details, the new skills, are all amazing. I haven't played sims in sometime but for this mod, I'll play everyday. Keep up the great :)
Incredible both in concept and the animations. I can't wait to use this, and will get myself over to your Patreon. Bravo!
Would you consider modding in a special urn/headstone for mermaids? It would fit in with this mod perfectly
I'm so excited! I had to stop all my patreon payments a few months ago but I'm so tempted right now! There are so many details in this! You have some of THE best mods! Thank you so much for your hard work!!
This is just awesome. I'm in love with all the concept and i'm going to play with this stuff all the time now ! You deserve the succes.
You are so creative and thoughtful! Thank you for all your hard work! This update to the mod is amazing!
I am so so excited for this mod, it looks so fun and amazing! Thank you so much for making, it always upset me how mermaids were just kinda left out but I'm so blown away by the detail in this!! 😁❤️
I just want to say this is one of the best mods I have ever downloaded. It’s so in depth. I’ve been bored with the game lately and decided to try this out. I’m having so much fun with it. I’ve played it for hours and still have so much more to explore. It really gives mermaids in the sims 4 justice with so much fun gameplay. Seriously amazing job you are so talented ❤
We need you to be the head of the sins rn cuz you need to be PAID for this
When she turned into a mermaid from the contact with water it reminded of the line from the movie,Splash 'behold the mermaid'.I loved the music score from that movie.The dude mixing those potions is he wanted to sing 'Poor unfortunate soul'.Drafting contracts just like Urasula and Rumpleslskin.
Wow, this just gave my favorite occult LIFE! Thank you for all the work you did!!
You've are one of my top favorite molders right up alongside MCCC and Armageddon.
Thanks to you, I may have created an overly OP sim with the power to do anything with but a wave (no pun intended) of their hand.
And now this.
What would Sims 4 be without you?
This is one of the best mod i have ever seen. Thank you for everything!! it makes me want to start playing again.
Very much thank you for your hard work and creativity, creators like you add life to the game. And I love that you make it in a way that match with the original style and graphics, you could struggle to notice what comes from EA and what from the mod. Congrats on your skills
I’m in love with this mod. Thank u for creating it! 🐚
I absolutely ADORE the mod , its so creative and i love all the little nods towards the little mermaid! its adds so much Lore and immersion to sims4 its an absolute must have!
So excited for this! Thank you for bringing this mod back!
Amazing mod, downloaded it right away! Thank you so much for helping us sims 4 players having a deeper experience with the game! 💗
Wow this is amazing! You should be incredibly proud, you made me want to play the game again and that takes a lot❤
I love the Sims 3 Island paradise reference, Maya Ocean. Excellent job with this mod!
I’m stunned at the detail. I mean, the custom music stings? The menus and icons? The detailed, fully rendered and grammatically correct descriptions? The animations? You really are doing EA’s work for them, because it integrates into their style *perfectly*. Extremely well done!
OMG THIS IS PERFECT! Your work is a masterpiece, I just downloaded it and if this really works I'll go to your patreon, AMAZING
I really love this new upcoming expanded mermaids mod i love it good job :D
Thank you thank you thank you !! I love mermaids and was sad that Sim's barely gave them anything. You rock!
thank you so much for modding the sims, you make gameplay enjoyable again
the sims team NEEDS to buy your mods, these need to be accessible to all simmers. not only does this add more replability but this could definitely add cross pack playability. I could already see sea witches dueling with normal witches and them using water based interactions....
Been doing a little mermaid playthrough with this mod. Spectacular thanks.
Love this new update. Watching this I was thinking about all the popculture references in it. Gillyweed is from harry potter, then there is all the little mermaid stuff with the seawitch. The abilities had me thinking about h20/ mako mermaids. That of course then had me thinking about what is not here and could be included in a future update. Like where is the God of the Sea Poseidon himself? And another ability/ skill - making merilia (the life-force of the sea) from the barbie mermaid tale movies. Creating nightmares come true and whirlpools to trap sims in.
This is absolutely amazing!!! You are so talented :D I wish EA would hire modders like you to take over the game and fix it lol. It's always amazing modders like you that make the game even playable. I can tell a lot of work went into this and I'm tempted to get it, but we'll see :D I already have so many mods as is so I haven't decided yet :P
I love this mod so much!
what an amazing mod. so full and complete. I'm gonna enjoy this. thank you for this extensive mod.
Oh. My. Gosh. I am in ABSOLUTE AWE of this mod! WHAT!!! I've just downloaded it and I might just go off and play with it right now!!
Omg, you’re awesome. I can wait to see all the amazing stuff you created ❤❤❤
YOU ARE LITERALLY MAKING THE GAME SO MUCH BETTER OMG❤️❤️
I don't know what magical algorithm brought me here as I've never seen your work before, don't usually watch videos about mods either but WOW this is amazing. Shows just how much Sims 4 is lacking! This mod is right up my alley - when I do play with Sims 4 I like Sulani and the merfolk. The generalised mermaid stuff looks particularly great - why we haven't got a refresh from EA with mermaid skill tree is beyond me and why they never let the mermaids sunbathe on the floating loungers with their tails right from the get go!
Sea witch stuff could have been done too with a cross pack compatability of Realm of magic (the ingredients that is but not so much the contracts as that would infringe on Disney plagiarism and not be Simmish or mermaid broad enough but I'm sure something else might have worked if they had an ounce of creativity that modders do.) What a fantastic job you've done!!!
EA needs employees like you, THE SIMS COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU. THANK YOU A 100 TIMES ❤❤❤❤
This is the best mermaid mod! I love it! Thank you for building it.
you are absolutely incredible. thank you so so so much for making this!!
EA needs to employ you! This is the level of depth that the game, especially Mermaids, so desperately needs. Kudos to you for the creativity :)
loveeeee these mods really bring back my love for the sims idc if the sims team realeses new mermaids I will always uses your mods
your mods make this game so much better
the powers, the sprinkler.. everything.. its everything 😍
Oh my goodness...! 😍 I'm in love with your mods. I have all your occults. They are so fun, exciting and I just love how they intertwine with EA occults like there's Lycans and there's werewolves. There's witches and there's spellcasters. (Fae. Period..🧚♀️) I built this really fun occult world with ALL occults. With this mod I'm excited to dive back into your expanded mod. (Pun intended.)
Ohh....have you ever thought about returning the genie into TS4? With all your creativity you do, it will certainly be thrilling. Keep doing what your doing. Thank you for all your hard work, it really shows and shines.
Wow just wowww ❤ it’s amazing can’t wait to get this mod in my game. This is so well thought out ⭐️
This mod is amazing! Thank you so much for updating it 🙂
this mod is amazing almost all my sims are mermaids bc of this 😭😭 thank you so much ❤️
Hi! Thank you so so much for making this, this is absolutely epic and waaaayyy better than what EA put out! There's so much added fun stuff!! I think it would be insulting to say EA should recruit you, they may burn you out of your creativity so don't let that happen! Keep making epicness you amazing creative soul! Sending you awesome vibes
thank you SOOO much!! i love playing occult sims but mermaids have always disappointed me & this mod actually makes them worth playing!
So talented! Wow this is so exciting. You should improve Aliens or plant sims next
I wish I could learn how to make my own mods... but, only if I can learn how to make mods as great and incredibly well made as yours!😁, that is so incredibly good!!! Thank you very much for your work! Now my game is going to be way more fun
I have to SAY spinning plumbobs is the most talented mod maker ever with his great creativity and special sight to make game much more fun. EA should bow to u！
u urgently need to get hired by EA!!! That is sooo incredible!
You are a gift for the sims players that love occult sims ❤❤
Omg...i guess i been living under a seashell 😂 why have i never know of this mod. I want to check it out for sure. Also thanks for this!
This is actually so brilliant
SOO MAGICAL OMG I HOPE YOU CAN EXPAND MORE FOR THE FAIRIES VS WITCHES
I can't wait to try this newer version of Expanded Mermaids!
Spinningplumbob is so talented!!!!! He already made some charmed inspired mods. I hope he makes a buffy inspired mod for vampire slaying with a graveyard lot trait to look for vampires and demons
i dont even have island living and your mod is making me want it 💞💞
It's looking amazing! I can't wait for the public release!
This mod is insane! I am twitching at the fact that I play on console. This might make me start all over again in PC.
Hey! I'm not sure you will see this but I'd love to translate all of this into french. I'm an avid Sims players, though I have no idea how mods work (not even remotely close), I LOVE what you did with your mod and I'm sure French players would love it too.
Holy crap man!!!! This is so amazing!!
On a whole the species is commonly referred to as Merfolk; mermaid being female and merman being male but I say be whatever floats your boat ;). I can't wait to Sim-mer again in Sulani thanks to you SpinningPlumbobs, you are mer-mazing ^_~ and I love what you do!!
This mod is game-changing in the best possible way :0
This is so awesome!! 💕
This looks so amazing! I'm so impressed by the animations, dozens and dozens of interactions and skills, etc. They all look extremely well done, better than anything EA came up with... Have downloaded and looking forward to playing. Thank you very much!
i’m def gonna start playing sims now, as long as i have this mod!
No idea if is in the mod but what would be kinda small but cool to see is that you could hunt/catch for fish and seaweed, eat it row or cooked. Some sort of specific recipes for them would be cool too. Overall its just fantastic ,blown away 😊
It is on the mod actually
This looks so good!
Maaay have to look into the Sims at this rate. I wasn't gonna before, but this looks cool.
When she turned into a mermaid from getting wet with the sprinkler, all I could think was "OH NAUR, CLEO!!"
This mod is amazing. I can tell so much passion and thought went into making it. Good job! I'm excited to play with it! I always felt like the sims4 team made mermaids incredibly boring. Why don't they have a skill tree like the other occult sims?
i love how you reference that H20 mermaids weakness for the moon :)
and also with the water sprinkles!
trey…. we LOVE you.❤️ if it wasn’t for you and sacrificial i don’t think ANY of us would be playing anymore😭
I did a little happy scream when i had the mail with the early release of this fantastic mod
Unfortunately, I can't support you, but I love your work!! I can't wait to use this mod!!!
This is so cool, thank you💞
Damn!!!! This is sooooo in-depth.... How did ya come up with all these ideas?
I’ve ever played with mermaids before. This is so cool.
This update is awesome omg
I love how they can transform back into their mermaid form when they get wet
This mod makes me wanna be the witch and cause chaos to my sims lol. This is such a great mod. Making more game style of mermaids
cant wait to make a kelpie club called "the pearls", little river friends
