  • Proteus in his human form has brown hair, and average looks. But in his merman form, because he is 'the old man of the sea' (prophetic shapeshifting god of Greek mythology) I made his hair grey and gave him more of an octopus form. I can't take too much credit for Phoenicia, her parents did most of the work. B)
  • Proteus and Phoenicia (one of Grim and Aislinn's many, many, many children) enjoying a basking session while they wait for tea to cook. Reciting love poetry at dinner. More basking at the nightclub Time for a selfie
  • Thanks for this. I've removed the underwater basking areas from everywhere except the national park, it was causing too many glitches. B)
  • I made a generic lot with an underwater basking area for mermaids (I've since updated it to include basking rocks on the shore and a dance area as well as a picnic area). Nanshe, Phaedra, Ninmah and Enki enjoyed it so much I've given them their own underwater basking area at home. Also Enki has now apparently mastered the…
  • New Years Eve for Enki, Ninmah, Nanshe and Phaedra Phaedra in human form having a drink with her future mother in law (Ninmah seems to want to keep all the drinks to herself). Galene drops in for a visit, and Nanshe gets a congratulatory hug from her Great Aunt after announcing her engagement to Phaedra. Waiting for the…
  • Nanshe has a new partner, Phaedra (Phaedra's name doesn't have any connection to water or the ocean, it's just a name I like and also part of one of my favourite songs, 'Some Velvet Morning') Nanshe meditating in mermaid form. While Phaedra practices making drinks Nanshe mentors Phaedra in guitar And then I had them get…
  • I don't have the mod set to random weakness, I like to be more in control of my game and very rarely appreciate surprises or things I haven't set up. In this case I had Veles manipulate on object, because I wanted to see what it did. Coventina just happened to decide to start mixing drinks whilst the bar was floating in…
  • Ah, okay that makes sense. I thought I had autonomy switched off, but maybe I didn't double check that after I had to redownload the game. I get what you're saying about mermaids finding any spot the can swim. I had some of them doing university courses from home to get the Academic aspiration, and every time I tried to…
  • And an explanation on my Mer-sims names. :) Eurydice - is from the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. She has a twin brother, called Orpheus, and was originally a spellcaster and my first mermaid sim (hence her name isn't particularly connected with water). Talay - is named for the Turkic god of the seas and oceans. Eidothea -…
  • I'm thinking of giving Coventina a career as a bar tender, she's managing quite well considering her Dad has chosen the most inopportune time to use his mod given mermadic powers to manipulate an object. :D Off for a night time's collecting of kelp and ambergris. (Moryana) (Damona) (Stheno) Nightime swim and chat
  • Okay just test played the finished build, and for the most part it works (except the mermaids swim through the rocks on the side of the pools, and you have to tell them to swim in the pools or else they'll head out for the ocean nearby). Some screenshots. :) Talay, Eurydice, Ezili and Sirona basking on their basking rocks…
  • @Metior_Ice Thanks heaps for those links and cheats. :) At the moment I'm just trying an above ground build with pool access. I might try an underwater themed build at a later date. I do have the sea-nery stuff set from spinning plumbobs, I'm hoping to incorporate the basking rocks into this build. :)
  • WIP, I'm not usually a builder and I rarely use move objects cheat when I do build, but I've decided to just go full experimental with this. I'm hoping it will be a functioning nighclub for mermaids when it's finished. :)
  • Family get together. Coventina, Euryale and Damona enjoying a swim together Euryale decides to entertain her nieces with some sea shanties 'Yeah don't mind my twin sister, Stheno's just an overly dramatic story teller like our dad'. Euryale vibing with the ocean after collecting seawater Before heading off for a swim
  • It's Saturday night in Sims land, time for a dinner out with Coventina, Damona, Stheno, and Euryale (Moryana and Veles got seated in a whole other section) Rounding out a good night with a nice night swim and chat
  • I've just downloaded spinning plumbob's expanded mermaid mod, so definitely have updates from that. I'm just seeing what it does, lot of fun so far. :)
  • And last but not least, my other identical mermaid twins, Stheno and Euryale (I recreated these two as Grim and Aislinn's children, the other ones I lost were Reaper grandchildren, and kids of a mermaid pairing I no longer have in my game) Stheno Euryale
  • Moryana (Grim and Aislinn's daughter) Moryana's husband, Veles Damona (Moryana and Veles' daughter) Coventina (Moryana and Veles' daughter)
  • Danu (Grim and Aislinn's daughter) Danu's wife, Li Ban Sirona (Danu and Li Ban's daughter) Ezili (Sirona's wife) Narmada (Sirona and Ezili's daughter)
  • Twins: Thaumas and Electra (Grim and Aislinn's children) Thaumas Electra IdenticalTwins: Galene and Thetis (Grim and Aislinn's children) Galene Thetis
  • I've grabbed some Mermaid cc and given some of my merfolk a makeover. B) I'll try and split them into family groups, although not all of the offspring live in the same household. Eurydice (Grim and Aislinn's daughter) Eurydice's husband, Talay Uha (yes I know that isn't his name, I had the game generate another Paka'a,…
  • Thanks. :) I tend to go through occult phases, where I'll play one occult more than the others. At the moment I'm playing with my Mer-sims a lot. And yeah thankfully I had the majority of my sim families backed up to the gallery, but others I hadn't gotten around to saving so I lost them. Computer was only just over a year…
  • I also lost some of my mermaid Sims that I didn't have backed up when my computer decided to crash. Some of the mermaid sims I have now are recreations of my old ones, except I've given them different family backgrounds.
  • Thetis and Galene had a birthday dinner (that's their sister, Electra, in the background) Followed by a family swim (Thaumas is their brother in this shot) Galene has also apparently mastered the art of jogging underwater :D
  • I chose other, because I haven't even come close to maxing out the performance of my computer, but that still doesn't mean I don't need mods to ensure my Sims game runs properly, or that I will just buy packs for the sake of buying them.
  • I upload my Sims to the gallery so I have them fully saved somewhere incase of major computer crashes (which happened recently). I've never really stopped to think that anyone might actually want to download them. I mean people are welcome to, it's just not something I've thought of.
  • My computer crashed too a couple of months ago, and by crashed I mean heat sync fan failed, harddrive got fried, entire computer needed to be replaced. Whatever computer you buy I would highly recommend paying the extra money to get extended warranty. Without extended warranty I would've been completely stuffed.
  • Not generally a builder, but I decided to try my hand at the micro home challenge. Build a micro home suitable for 3 sims, under $15,000 with no MOO. I decided to go one further and do the challenge restricted to basegame and tiny living only. I'm thinking of moving one of my Sims families in and turning it into a…
  • Thanks, sorry I missed that post. I will give it a whirl and see what happens. Much appreciated. :)
  • Yeah it sounds fine on the computer, but put it in the game and it's way quieter and really tinny sounding.
