One On One Ikr? I was also looking forwards to the scuba diving, I imagined the gameplay would be much better than sims3 with the graphics and stuff but there’s nothing there. The pack seems nice but very unfinished
Agreeded when I finally got the pack downloaded and started playing I was searching for the powers bar for the mermaids but it wasn't there I was throughly disappointed
Sims 3 for a lot of reasons. I loved the mermaid scales they had on their legs, there was a legit kraken, you could dive with your mermaid and find treasures. There was movable water boat houses!! Not to mention there was different islands you could unlock. It was also open world Idk i just feel like it had more detail. I remember being able to own a resort/hotel as well in sims 3.
Autumn Pomar This! Like I don’t mind the mermaid form it’s alright it’s just I’d much rather have scaly legs cause I always thought that was way cooler and just thought it looked clean. And the House Boat those things were the shit back in S3! Like the idea of moving around and just the look of them got to me and I was really hoping they’d use them in S4 was that they didn’t.
@Lilac Cloud im not sure lol😅 you should definitely give it a try tho it seriously has more detail than 4 in my opinion! Its the same thing with pets as well. Sims 3 offered dogs, cats, horses, snakes, hamsters and birds all in ONE expansion. Did i mention theres even a katy perry pack in sims3?😂 its amazing
There is one thing we all can agree about the sims 3.... even though it is a laggy game at times, the expansion packs never felt incomplete, like Sims 4. Yeah, there may be a few missing things that we wish were in game but are not necessities. In sims 4, they’re always missing depth in their expansion packs which seems like a scam for paying $40 for.
Not going under water is a HUGE disappointment. I really hope they make an Atlantis game pack with an underwater world for mermaids only with buildable plots with underwater specific items. The mermaids feel slightly incomplete without the aquatic life.
@Trent You coming to a place of love and acceptance to spread your negativity is disgusting. You're a disgusting person and this community would be much better without you here. Later down the line don't come back saying it was just a joke. Because you knew what you were doing when you made the repulsive comment.
The Sims 3, they're more unique. Also for everyone saying the world is too laggy, you don't HAVE to play in Isla Paradiso to use the mermaid features, unlike The Sims 4 features aren't locked to the premade worlds.
Not entirely true. Isla Paradiso is the only world that has any diving lots, so if you wanted to use that feature, you'd have to settle for the constant lag and stuttering.
I always see people say Isla Paradiso lags a lot, but I had played it before and it seemed to work fine with only minor lagging? Plus I have seen other youtubers such as IHasCupquake play there and it seemed to work just fine. Island Paradise is still, and always will be, my favorite Sims pack to date. Island Living was a huge letdown.
Overall, I think the mermaids in the Sims 4 are better but you can't go underwater with them, I'm disappointed by that honestly! Edit: Wow my comment got so many likes! I guess a lot of people agree with me on this!
@@tmcttf8087 You can dive in the Sims 4 but no underwater lot to explore, it's just a rabbit hole! I was disappointed by that because well...breathing underwater made mermaids more unique from other sims!

I said it before and I repeat: The Sims 3 >>>>>>>> The Sims 4. Everytime TS4 release a new expansion theres always something missing or just over all disappointing. I was never disappointed with a Sims 3 expansion.
the main issue with sims 3 was that the packs felt a bit disconnected from each other. For example, late night's instruments were never viable for the musician career of basegame. I heard that there were different teams working on each expansion, so if that's true that's probably why. Sims 4 feels more gelled together, as the features from, say, get together, apply to every other expansion activity. However, the actual content that we got from the game was infinitely better.
i’ve spent hundreds on ts3 and i don’t regret it as there’s so much to do when you combine packs like seasons, pets, and supernatural. everything is so much more fun in 3, but in ts4 it’s all about looks and its much more boring than 3 imo
The only thing I didn’t liked was that almost every club you went to on Late Night,was empty. A And you couldn’t go out dining (only in those rabbit hole restaurants)
Sims 4 is like it gives you something cool but it always has something that is disappointing... Like, not being able to go underwater (not humans or mermaids), and not having a secret island (it could be like going to the secret places we already have). It is good tho
I feel like the Sims 4 Island Living is quite boring compared to TS3 version. It's like they didn't put as much effort into the new one. I was disappointed with it.
Island Living seems like it should have been a game pack to me, like with Vampires and Realm of Magic. Realm of Magic has more things to do than Island Living even
I'm with you, basically -- the customization options are better, and I like the different lullabies, but actually having an underwater area for them to live in and explore. . .Sulani would have actually been the PERFECT place for a secret lot of that type! Meeeh. . . What I get from these comparisons, essentially, is that to get the ideal Sims game, you need to put Sims 2 and Sims 4 in a blender, sprinkle in all the best stuff from Sims 3, and hit the puree button.
@@TheRedPlumbob Yeah, I can see why LGR said it was basically a game pack for an expansion pack's price. . . I'm just keeping my fingers crossed "Realm of Magic" follows "Vampire's" lead when it comes to magic!
@@docette2015 Oh yes! So far I've liked their gamepacks so I hope that one goes as deep as the vampires one with new skills and maybe even a secret world! But I don't want to get my hopes up
The sims 3 will always be my favorite for everything but I really love the graphics now with the sims 4 mermaids and just how they swim nicer and faster
the animation in sims 4 (when they turn to mermaids) looks ridiculous. 40$ pack animation btw, just casually walks in and out of nowhere a tail appears. lmao
I think Sims 3 wins because of the way the mermaids interact with the world but Sims 4 wins because they're actually better, mermaids didn't really have powers in Sims 3
I like how in TS3 you can swim underwater and the neat little animation that plays when transforming, as well as the fact that dehydration can kill your sim and a lack of saltwater can transform a mermaid back into a human. But I think TS4 has better customization options and cooler powers (plus the swimming animations look way smoother IMO). I suppose TS4 wins for me, but I do wish that they would have carried over the transforming animation, dehydration death, and underwater swimming from TS3. Also 1:46 reminds me: I had my sim ask a merman if he was one, and he denied it, despite the fact that we were in the ocean and my sim was a mermaid as well. It was weird.
what do you mean? sims 4 mermaid are actually better than sims 3 mermaid,, they got actual power in sims 4 unlike in sims 3 the only bad thing is they don't their underwater world..
Sigh ... Island Living looked so promising and different than other expansions but it's the same lack of content as always. They cut mermaids down to a bare minimum and that's extremly sad. They already introduced a power system in Vampires and Get Famous but didn't apply it this time even though they got complimented for this innovative idea. I hope they don't mess up witches/wizards as much as they did now with mermaids ... And even though there wasn't much to do under the sea in Sims 3 it's still hundred times better than making a rabbit hole out of it. Heck, Sims 4 feels like diving in Sims 3 in general - beautiful, but not much to do!
@@Its_sylviavioletbaby I am just saying they needed one of the 4 to break out the concept which TS3 did. TS2 worlds can't support oceans like they did in TS4. XD we do have oceans in TS2 tho but not a lot.
Sims 3 is a winner for me, like everything in the game, I like sims 3 better ♥ The only thing the bothered me is that mermaids didn't show their tails when they are taking a bath but that's just a small feature. Sims 4 mermaid's swimming animations seems great but it's shame that the ocean floor is weird and they don't get underwater lots or that mermaids don't have scaly legs. Also the female tops are great, do someone know if any modder/cc creator converted this to sims 3?
TS3 wins. I got Island Paradise for the underwater adventure and I was so disappointed to find out I really couldn't do anything with it other than talk to dolphins and have the hygiene need replaced with hydration.
Sims 3 was so good,unique graphics that don’t look as plastic as the sims 4,of course the sims 4 is more advanced in some ways the sims 3 had so much more to offer when it came to world design and less loading screens
I wish Sims 4 allowed us to freely customize the tail color as well as other details about our Sims (Clothes, hair, accesories, etc.) because I was pretty disappointed when you weren't able to do that.
Same, they could've done a color wheel without the textures, I still think they didn't include it because it was rushed and not because it would've been buggy, the game is buggy every new pack and that doesn't stop them from releasing it
Was contemplating on getting it or not but after watching this and reading the comments. I think I’ll wait until maybe it’s on sale...Thanks everyone! 😁👍
I was about to vote to the sims 4 mermaids, but I’m voting to the sims 3 mermaids. Because the needs bar color turns to blue, while the sims 4 mermaids don’t. Of course, you can’t create your own mermaids in cas, but you can turn your own sim into mermaid. I saw you can choose the style in cas in the sims 4, but you can style whatever you want without any limit in the sims 3. I saw the sims 4 mermaids get sad after eating fish, but the sims 3 mermaids are the king of all fish race. So they enjoy eating raw fishes. Most of the songs the sims 4 mermaids sing for other sims are only changing emotions, nothing else. The sims 3 mermaids can swim all over the sea in any type of eorlds from Packs, but the swimming areas are quite limited for sims in the sims 4.
Sims 4 mermaids are better, for sure. Although I like the scaly legs in human form from Sims 3. But Sims 4 mermaids look better, move better, have powers, etc. I also really love that we can create them in CAS. I would like to be able to go underwater with them like I could in Sims 3, but that's a problem with the expansion pack and not the lifestate itself.
Sims 3 wins! The sims 4 mermaid tail is more pretty. Also like the teeth and cas in general. But the sims 3 mermaid is more fun. You can build an underwater house and many places to hang out underwater for them. You can swim in all worlds and experience more. They are more badass, because they can sumon sharks to kill your Sims. Also appreciate the colorwheel especially for being able to create very cool designs. Merchildren also have scales instead of looking like a totaly regular sim. Gameplay > Graphics.
I like the sims 3 version a bit more only because of the gameplay of being able to go under water and hang out there but I like the customisations of the sims 4
Sims 3 is what did in my old dual core AM2+ system. Game got to the point of using so much memory on the system that it couldn't save the game. Granted this was also a system that was still running a 32 bit Windows XP OS back in 2014 or 15. Never really got to enjoy the expansion that added mermaids to the game because of it, even though I have played it after I updated the system to AM3+.
Thumbs Up For:
Sims 3

The only thing I didn’t liked was that almost every club you went to on Late Night,was empty.
A
And you couldn’t go out dining (only in those rabbit hole restaurants)
I also liked TS3 expansions a little more, but there was an unfinished Egypt map (worls adventures) that made me dissapointed, if you remember..
I like the aesthetic in sims 4 but the gameplay feels half done 😑 I really like the gameplay in sims 3 but the lag just takes it all away...
There is a cheat to remove the lag: resetsim *
uhh i have all the packs in sims 3 and nothing is slow and my desktop is slow asf and still goings
not to brag
@@goneforevers nice flex
Sims 4 is like it gives you something cool but it always has something that is disappointing... Like, not being able to go underwater (not humans or mermaids), and not having a secret island (it could be like going to the secret places we already have). It is good tho
I think the only things that sims 4 misses when it comes to mermaids is the diving and some type of secret spot for them, completely agreed
SCREEE They could’ve had a loading screen to go underwater lmao so they’re like a different plot so there’s no lag. You absolutely make no sense.
I feel like the Sims 4 Island Living is quite boring compared to TS3 version. It's like they didn't put as much effort into the new one. I was disappointed with it.
@камила одинсон Yeah. Pretty much. None were all that fun.
Island Living seems like it should have been a game pack to me, like with Vampires and Realm of Magic. Realm of Magic has more things to do than Island Living even
If TS4 had underwater areas and normal scuba diving it’d totally win. For me at least.
I’d like TS4 mermaids to faint though when low on hydration...
“A mermaid? What gave you that idea?”
Literally has mermaid tale.
I'm with you, basically -- the customization options are better, and I like the different lullabies, but actually having an underwater area for them to live in and explore. . .Sulani would have actually been the PERFECT place for a secret lot of that type! Meeeh. . . What I get from these comparisons, essentially, is that to get the ideal Sims game, you need to put Sims 2 and Sims 4 in a blender, sprinkle in all the best stuff from Sims 3, and hit the puree button.
lol, we can only hope Sims 5 learns from Sims 4's mistakes, I thought they were getting better with their expansions but this was a step backwards imo
@@TheRedPlumbob Yeah, I can see why LGR said it was basically a game pack for an expansion pack's price. . . I'm just keeping my fingers crossed "Realm of Magic" follows "Vampire's" lead when it comes to magic!
@@docette2015 Oh yes! So far I've liked their gamepacks so I hope that one goes as deep as the vampires one with new skills and maybe even a secret world! But I don't want to get my hopes up
Mermaid: *tail visibly showing*
Random Person: are u a mermaid? I can see your tail
Mermaid: NO wHaT GaVe yOu tHaT iDeA
I really don’t understand why the sims 4 sims hate to be asked they are mermaid or not.
Ahhh what are your computer specs? Your gameplay is HELLA smooth.
There are mods to make it run that smooth

Wish we could go under the sea in the Sims 4!!
Me too
Yeah that would’ve Been cool 😎
I would not be surprised if they made it one of their next game packs. Remember the hamsters!
The Sims 4 is way to 'shallow' for oceans.
They'll get the "dehydrated" negative moodlet."
*Sim in the backround:* Yay! She fainted!
Sims 3 beats sims 4 every time for me. So much more detail and options. Sims 4 is just better graphics.
How about the toddlers?
@@Fimply at least the toddlers have scales on their legs in sims 3
@@serenity9926 Sorry but the scales on Sims legs are disgusting.
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos :)
I'm really glad, thank you
th-cam.com/video/ZWANNCRB86o/w-d-xo.html here idea was stolen
If they added underwater view in sims 4, it would have been the first time a s4 ep is actually better than a sims 3 one. BUT they didn't.
still lacking sailing houseboat tho but ok
The sims 3 will always be my favorite for everything but I really love the graphics now with the sims 4 mermaids and just how they swim nicer and faster
the animation in sims 4 (when they turn to mermaids) looks ridiculous. 40$ pack animation btw, just casually walks in and out of nowhere a tail appears. lmao
they actually do a frontflip
Sims 3 has features that I wish were in the Sims 4..
And Sims 4 has features and mermaid designs I wish were in the Sims 3..
Both feel incomplete..
"What the shipwreck? Where's my treasure, lazy fish?!"
I admit, I LOLed.
7:51 I thought this is disney song😂😍 I LOVE IT!!!!
8:43 The little mermaid..Ariel?? Is that you?
imagine if they didn't automatically get legs on land and just had a crawling animation if they're in mer form outside the water
I think both are good but personalny i preffer ts3
Samee

That inspiring berceuse lullaby is so relaxing...
5:32 how it feels when all your friends are A+ students and you’re trying to cram everything in before the semester ends
I like the mermaids in sims 4, but I would like a point system reward like vampires and I would love to see while diving underwater like in sims 3.
I don't want even imagine how long takes to you make this video.
You have my like
sim: obviously has a mermaid tail
that one guy: hey are u a mermaid haha
Both of them ? I mean like the diving underwater is so beautiful in the sims 3 but the island in sims 4 is just so gorgeous.
I think Sims 3 wins because of the way the mermaids interact with the world but Sims 4 wins because they're actually better, mermaids didn't really have powers in Sims 3
I like how in TS3 you can swim underwater and the neat little animation that plays when transforming, as well as the fact that dehydration can kill your sim and a lack of saltwater can transform a mermaid back into a human. But I think TS4 has better customization options and cooler powers (plus the swimming animations look way smoother IMO). I suppose TS4 wins for me, but I do wish that they would have carried over the transforming animation, dehydration death, and underwater swimming from TS3.
Also 1:46 reminds me: I had my sim ask a merman if he was one, and he denied it, despite the fact that we were in the ocean and my sim was a mermaid as well. It was weird.
Anne’s Voice in TS4 was soooo cute when she was singing
7:47
8:43 for some reason the way it sound is a bit scary.
I wish they fleshed out the mermaids and diving more in the sims 4
what do you mean? sims 4 mermaid are actually better than sims 3 mermaid,, they got actual power in sims 4 unlike in sims 3
the only bad thing is they don't their underwater world..
Sigh ... Island Living looked so promising and different than other expansions but it's the same lack of content as always. They cut mermaids down to a bare minimum and that's extremly sad. They already introduced a power system in Vampires and Get Famous but didn't apply it this time even though they got complimented for this innovative idea. I hope they don't mess up witches/wizards as much as they did now with mermaids ... And even though there wasn't much to do under the sea in Sims 3 it's still hundred times better than making a rabbit hole out of it. Heck, Sims 4 feels like diving in Sims 3 in general - beautiful, but not much to do!
I feel like the sims 2 it would be nice to have mermaids and a ocean like they did in the sims 4.
are you crazy? lol weird logic since TS2 came before both.
Green Ghost thats just my opinion
@@Its_sylviavioletbaby I am just saying they needed one of the 4 to break out the concept which TS3 did. TS2 worlds can't support oceans like they did in TS4. XD we do have oceans in TS2 tho but not a lot.
@@theoneandmany1990 I mean TS3 was earlier too but it still let you swim anywhere and actually _explore_ the ocean.
I still play the Sims 2 lol! I downloaded a mermaid tail for my sims! I guess it's better than nothing right?
Really sad sims 4 diving is a rabbit hole though 😔

Girl: **faints**

Lol
"You think I'm a mermaid? What made you think that? Is it my tail? It's just a swim suit silly!"
-Sims 4 mermaid
I’m so exited to be able to play Island Living
Would’ve been cool if you could actually go inside the cave and there would be a secret mermaid hangout or something🥺
Sims 3 is a winner for me, like everything in the game, I like sims 3 better ♥ The only thing the bothered me is that mermaids didn't show their tails when they are taking a bath but that's just a small feature.
Sims 4 mermaid's swimming animations seems great but it's shame that the ocean floor is weird and they don't get underwater lots or that mermaids don't have scaly legs. Also the female tops are great, do someone know if any modder/cc creator converted this to sims 3?
In Sims 4 when a mermaid sings it gives me a nostalgic feeling from when I watched Ariels voice being taken in The Little Mermaid.
I used to be obsessed with mermaids and when Isla Paradiso released I would always play in the new world with mermaids lol
The mermaids in the Sims 4 when they sing it’s just so beautiful. I love it so much.
TS3 wins. I got Island Paradise for the underwater adventure and I was so disappointed to find out I really couldn't do anything with it other than talk to dolphins and have the hygiene need replaced with hydration.
"NIGHT'S REQUIEM" sounds like a stand
.
4:44
Sim: walks on sand while in tail
me; *w- I- W- WHAT*
ts3 wins just for the fact it have a underwater world
I've never seen anything like it 😮
Back then I love sims 4😅 now I love sims 1,2&3
Sims 3 was so good,unique graphics that don’t look as plastic as the sims 4,of course the sims 4 is more advanced in some ways the sims 3 had so much more to offer when it came to world design and less loading screens
I wish Sims 4 allowed us to freely customize the tail color as well as other details about our Sims (Clothes, hair, accesories, etc.) because I was pretty disappointed when you weren't able to do that.
Same, they could've done a color wheel without the textures, I still think they didn't include it because it was rushed and not because it would've been buggy, the game is buggy every new pack and that doesn't stop them from releasing it
Was contemplating on getting it or not but after watching this and reading the comments. I think I’ll wait until maybe it’s on sale...Thanks everyone! 😁👍
you just reminded me how much I miss the color wheel from sims 3
I was waiting for you to upload thank you
Thank you for watching :D
the name-
I love animations and style from sims 4, but the gameplay, openworld, the sea from sims 3
"Befriend with dolphin" looks so cute & fun
I was about to vote to the sims 4 mermaids, but I’m voting to the sims 3 mermaids. Because the needs bar color turns to blue, while the sims 4 mermaids don’t. Of course, you can’t create your own mermaids in cas, but you can turn your own sim into mermaid. I saw you can choose the style in cas in the sims 4, but you can style whatever you want without any limit in the sims 3. I saw the sims 4 mermaids get sad after eating fish, but the sims 3 mermaids are the king of all fish race. So they enjoy eating raw fishes. Most of the songs the sims 4 mermaids sing for other sims are only changing emotions, nothing else. The sims 3 mermaids can swim all over the sea in any type of eorlds from Packs, but the swimming areas are quite limited for sims in the sims 4.
I don’t know why, but I really miss the scaley legs from 3!
Remind me of a disney movie
Called "thirteenth year" 🙋🏻♂️🎂➡️🧜🏻♂️
The Sims 3 by a landslide! I prioritize gameplay over good looking! I pay for play not to take pictures.
Sims 4 mermaids are better, for sure. Although I like the scaly legs in human form from Sims 3. But Sims 4 mermaids look better, move better, have powers, etc. I also really love that we can create them in CAS. I would like to be able to go underwater with them like I could in Sims 3, but that's a problem with the expansion pack and not the lifestate itself.
We've only had Island Living and mermaids for a short time. Soon we're getting witches again! :o I'm so looking forward to comparisons for this!
6:34 **mermaid faints**
Sim in the background *”Haha woo!”*
Sims 3 wins!
The sims 4 mermaid tail is more pretty. Also like the teeth and cas in general. But the sims 3 mermaid is more fun. You can build an underwater house and many places to hang out underwater for them. You can swim in all worlds and experience more. They are more badass, because they can sumon sharks to kill your Sims. Also appreciate the colorwheel especially for being able to create very cool designs. Merchildren also have scales instead of looking like a totaly regular sim.
Gameplay > Graphics.
Wish toddlers and kids had mermaids tails they could have done that
I like the sims 3 version a bit more only because of the gameplay of being able to go under water and hang out there but I like the customisations of the sims 4
I wish they kept the scales from the sims 3. They looked so pretty!
I wish ts4 version had tiers like vampires
Sims 3 is what did in my old dual core AM2+ system. Game got to the point of using so much memory on the system that it couldn't save the game. Granted this was also a system that was still running a 32 bit Windows XP OS back in 2014 or 15. Never really got to enjoy the expansion that added mermaids to the game because of it, even though I have played it after I updated the system to AM3+.
The underwater part was something I really missed in sims 4
4:09 _"What the Shipwreck! Where's my treasure, lazy fish?!"_ 😂😂😂
And yes you can kill sims with the sea threat and the sirens call but it takes a long while
06:37 that laugh after she died was just... I love this game so much 😂😂😂
Wait, the night's requirem and aegean's question are the same. The hell?
You are honestly my favorite TH-cam channel
I'm glad you're enjoying my content :D I feel these videos only serve to make people mad lol
If TS4 had scuba diving and an underwater lagoon to explore, it’d definitely take my win.
I really wish they would give an underwater feature in the sims 4 like in sims 3, actually being able to go underwater and explore would be awesome.
the sims 4 is more visually aesthetic, but it lacks the gameplay that the sims 3 provides for us
OMG! That dolphin sound at 4:00 is the same dolphin sound from Zoo Tycoon (2001). 😂😂I can't believe my brain fucking remembers that.
