    I'm curious if there's "off the grid" ways to take care of hygiene. And if you can use toilets on an "off the grid" lot or have to rely on pee bushes. I'd kind of like some kind of chamber pot item.

    I think in one of Iron Seagull's videos he said you could use the waterfall to get clean. I also noticed on the description of a toilet, it said something about off-the-grid.

    Can sims identify a mermaid in disguise as such immediately, or do they have to see them doing something fishy?

    If a mermaid tries to drown a sim is there any chance of a lifeguard saving them? Or if the sim is drowning on their own for whatever teason? Or will lifeguards just be for show.

    You can ask other sims if they are a mermaid but they will probably deny it the first time.

    If your sim lives on a lot with the OFF THE GRID trait, can your sim still use their phone or does it stop working too?

    That I did see in a Lets Play... phones don't work on the lot (I think they can use them if they go off the lot). The sim had to leave the lot to get a job but I forget if they used their phone or a public computer.

    Most likely. Every occult sim we've had so far has a ghost form.

    I imagine it would work like it did in TS3 where lifeguards were only for the career. They didn't have any use outside of their work hours.

    Thanks! Hmm, I thought they didn't make a toilet for this pack... just a recolor of a basegame one.

    How will mermaid tails work in the shower?

    How will the nude lot trait affect children? The game doesn't allow adult sims to be naked if there is a child on the lot. Will this lot trait also automatically ban children from the lot? What if I bring a child in my household to the lot?

    I believe it has been said that they don't get a tail in the shower, but I know for sure they get one in the bathtub.

    I'm guessing hot tub as well?

    I think it was just a regular base game toilet. Sorry, I should have clarified.

    Kids can snorkel and swim just like adults along with most beach activities, I do not think they can tan and burn though.

    Children like every other occult will not manifest any mermaid powers or tail until teens. They can be them but they won’t be able to do anything special yet.

    What kind of heebie jeebies did they have there that all of the game changers are sick...LOL

    Honestly, sounds like allergies to me.

    Probably is, Deligracy posted earlier on Twitter she gets allergies whenever she goes to LA, or it might be they don’t sound like they usually do because they’re didn’t bring normal mic

    Probably is the air quality there.

    Maybe shower in the waterfall? That is the only thing I can think of.

    I don't think so, I saw a Build/Buy review that showed the debug items and they weren't there.

    The only questions I really have is about the Off The Grid trait:

    1. Isn't it a bit misnamed since you (I assume) still have a cellphone, very opposite of being off the grid?
    2. No running water? How does hygiene work? New objects that don't require plumbing?
