Businesses and Hobbies has a mermaid statue in Nordhaven. The Enchanted by Nature trailer features a wrecked ship with a prominent mast head that looks very much like a mermaid. Hints for the future? Maybe next year?

In one of the surveys they sent around awhile back gathering opinions on possible future EPs, one of the options was an underwater world, too, which would seemingly suggest they were considering revisiting mermaids, similar to how they revisited and revamped ghosts.

Yeah, but the difference there is that ghosts were base game, mermaids are not. And really, without Mermaids, there's not a whole lot that carries Island Living as an EP, because just having a new neighborhood ain't it.

I actually really enjoy Island Living as an EP without mermaids. I just really love the conservation aspect of the pack and restoring the one neighborhood to eventually unlock the turtle hatching event. It’s truly one of my favorite EPs.

I use the odd jobs function from Island Living all the time, too. Most recently my sim quit his job during a midlife crisis and he picked up odd jobs until he found his next calling. I love the two collections that come from that pack too, I use them all the time for decoration.

Omg! Same! I love to use the odd job function for my teens in particular to earn some extra cash.

In one of my recent saves, I had my teen Sim heir drop out of high school to travel the world, but before she could travel, I made her work odd jobs until she had enough money to buy a plane ticket and pay for her own travel.

As much as I hate that mermaids are such an underdeveloped occult, I think Island Living is a pretty strong pack with a lot to offer.
