♦ Sims 3 vs Sims 4 : Mermaids

Hi! This is a brief comparison of Mermaids in the Sims 3 and Sims 4, introduced in Island Paradise and Island Living, yeah, first time trying one with only 2 games and if Sims 4 doesn't introduce other creatures this might be the case in the future with zombies, fairies, genies, etc. But for now here it is!
As I've said in my community post, I was having issues with lag in Isla Paradiso and I didn't solve it 100% so sorry for the mild breaks in animation, etc. If there's something I appreciated in Sims 4 it was the smoothness and the ability to fast forward time without worrying my game would crush.
Anyways, what do you think of the old vs new mermaids? I thought they'd be pretty similar but I'm glad they've got new powers and stuff, I would've loved it if they had ranks and more depth like vampires (honestly, the vampires game pack felt more complete than this whole expansion for some reason imo) but ooohhh well, let's just enjoy what we did get.
My opinion?
Sims 3's mermaids were revolutionary since that had never been done before and they're pretty damn solid and they can compete with Island living's mermaids, I like details like their transformation, the way to take care of their needs, their interactions like calling a shark attack are pretty neat but I found myself liking Sims 3's ability to actually visit underwater, it's perfect for mermaids to explore and it's just beautiful, I found myself missing that a lot in Sims 4.
Sims 4's mermaids are way more customizable than Sims 3's, you have a few tails to choose from and the new Sulani world is gorgeous, their new powers are great additions, the mermaid lullabies, the dolphin, the ocean threats, etc. Those powers are my favorite part of these mermaids but I wish they would've given them more depth.
So I think a mix of both's best aspects would've been amazing but if I had to choose one I'd say Sims 4's, but when it comes to the whole expansion? Sims 3 has soooo much content in that pack! But that's a story for another video, I'll see if i can compare the sea/beach in my next video and maybe include another game so I hope to see you soon!

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!!

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.

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.

[@Wasserbienchen]

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.

[@wynonaa.980]

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 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

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.

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?

[@nerdyypie9536]

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! 😁👍

[@alphanightfury8156]

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.

[@TheEtherny]

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

[@itssylviayvonne]

I love animations and style from sims 4, but the gameplay, openworld, the sea from sims 3

[@matthewd3175]

[@irideanewforestpony4730]

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 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.

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.

[@TheRedPlumbob]

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

[@nicoteop175]

This makes me nostalgic for the color wheel.

I've never seen anything like it 😮 Back then I love sims 4😅 now I love sims 1,2&3

[@Dikdik11]

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!

[@minerva1652]

the sims 4 is more visually aesthetic, but it lacks the gameplay that the sims 3 provides for us

[@itsme7336]

I don't want even imagine how long takes to you make this video. You have my like

[@orbitalpudding1946]

Sims 4 definitely have it better on the mermaids. Not sure why people keep mentioning S3 is better due to underwater diving this is just based on the mermaids alone, since regular sims can also dive. Honestly, diving in S3 was lack luster. Pretty underwater, but not much else going on. It's lucrative much like diving in S4 and that's about it. Which makes both diving pretty boring, since there's not much else to either one other than being able to see under the water. If they had did them like Vampires they would have been even more amazing, but I guess they just chose to kept them simple, since mermaids are one of the lesser occults that's not overly popular like witches and vampires, but they brought more gameplay indefinitely than the mermaids from island paridiso. Honestly majority of occults are pretty lack luster in S3 in terms of powers except for witches and aliens to me. The mermaids movements (much like a lot of s3 animations) were pretty awkward and janky. I can appreciate the fluid animations in S4. Can also appreciate that mermaids are a bit more dangerous in being able to tank other sims needs and most of the time they won't ever be able to make it to land as they will drown. S3 mermaids were very underwhelming andd boring much like werewolves. Anyhoot, good video as usual.

[@alexdelaloire8739]

Exactly, people are saying TS3 because of a the underwater world whule the video is about mermaids. And mermaids are very popular they even end up second place during Grant's occults polls. But I think without mermaids Island Living would have been really empty as only the build/buy mode is interesting. I was worried that TS4 mermaids would be like TS3 but they're actually so much better (I still would have prefered a mermaid game pack though 😂)

[@orbitalpudding1946]

@@alexdelaloire8739 Yeah, only reason people voted mermaids were to have a island related world so I dont think theyre as popular, but still a unique occult. Hoping witches are a vast improvement over S3 that wasnt all need related.
