    If you commune with the island spirits one of the buffs they give you is 'Island Abundance'. My Sim had a full hunger bar for hours!

    Yes I love these little boosts xD So far I've had hunger, energy and a boost to learning new skills. Wonder if there are any others?

    Did you know, the volcanic area of the map sometimes has fish poachers who you can tell nicely to leave or confront their wrongdoings?! Not sure if only conservationists can do this/bump into them, but thought this was a cool addition!

    When a fire breaks out on your homelot neighbours will come to the rescue and put out the fire.
    When you have cleaned up Sulani there is a chance that you will spot an albino dolphin.

    While your sims are suntanning, you can click directly on them to find the apply sunscreen action so they won't get a sunburn as long as they have the sunscreen moodlet!

    If your sims go fishing, (in Sulani at least, but this could be for other worlds too idk) you'll eventually catch endangered species of fish that you can either keep or release again into the water which contributes to the healing of the island.

    I'd imagine as so :p But where would their tail even go to while in a hot tub? It would clip through the other sims.

    Oh, also, there were rumours about a secret mermaid beach floating around before release. Any word on if its true?

    The gurus mentioned it in their Q&A live stream this morning. It's on the same island as the volcano but it's an Easter egg lot that allows you to visit there once your mermaid reaches a certain skill level. I think it was at about the halfway mark in the stream.

    A certain level for which skill?

    You can purchase Mermadic Kelp with aspiration points! It is available in the same menu as the mood potions and add-on traits - and it's not that expensive either :)

    You have to maximize the conservation level of the natural island and discover Mermaids by meeting a game created one and getting her to admit it. Some who have tried this are saying it is just a new spawner that unlocks Mermaids in the world, though, not an actual place you can travel to.

    Check out the Q&A live stream with SimGuruJill. They explain it better than I did. :)

    That's the Kiss In Water interaction and it's available in pools as well.

    When toddlers play in the sand they will occasionally find things like seashells.

    Also, even if you don't have a waterfront beach area using the lot type for a pool venue works very well. Only difference is sims are more inclined to build sand castles if you have that terrain, use the pool floaties as well as the beach towels.

    In first person mode while snorkeling I think you can here a distant whale call every once in awhile, its very relaxing.

    Mermaids have an idle where they sing a little song when they're happy.

    Did you know that mermaids can actually drown humans?

    They can also drown other mermaids as well.

    Wait- mermaids can drown?

    Hey no right or wrong way to play. :) I was stuck in CAS and build mode for the most part then explored how each island looked. I actually haven't put my sim on a aqua zip myself. They have tanned and just hung out at the beach as well as snorkelers. Haven't touched jobs yet myself.

    The aqua zips look good with lights on them at night.

    Most people already know these two, but mermaids can only call the Azure Dolphin.

    There’s a rare Albino Dolphin after you clean up the beach

    Just enjoy it on your own pace.
    I like fantasy and a bit of Sci-Fi. Want to know what I'm reading?
    I also like wandering the hills.

    I have discovered the real benefit of siren's call.
    It's an evil way to fill up mermaid's needs by pulling down a sim to lower their needs.

    My mermaid sim already had the reward trait to never lose hygiene, and so far she never loses any hydration, she was turned by eating the kelp
