This makes designing an underwater home for them a bit easier since the only essential room is a kitchen. All their other needs can be taken care of in the water. So mermaids need a way to prepare food on land. This… doesn’t really make a lot of sense considering the ocean is full of aquatic creatures and vegetation that mermaids could eat but this is The Sims 4 where logic doesn’t exist. They can do everything in the water except eat. Luckily, mermaids don’t really need a lot on land to be comfortable. This can make designing an underwater home tricky. We can’t build underground on waterfront lots and there are a lot of limitations about where and how pools can be placed underground.

Though unlikely at this stage of the game’s lifecycle, if this ever changes, we’ll be sure to update you here with the necessary steps.Ever since mermaids were brought to The Sims 4 in the Island Living expansion pack, I have been obsessed with the idea of underwater homes for mermaids to live in but the game doesn’t exactly make that easy to achieve. Unfortunately, mods aren’t available on console platforms. Are mods available on console for The Sims 4?

If you want to check what mods the game recognizes that you’ve installed, select ‘ View Custom Content‘ once you’ve restarted to see what appears.

On the left side of the window that pops up, you’ll see an ‘ Other‘ tab.Once you’ve launched the game, select the ‘…’ icon from either the main menu or the top right of the screen when in-game.Mods won’t work straight off of the bat in The Sims unless you’ve signified to the game that you want them to appear: EA / Maxis Once your mods are downloaded, you’ll need to make show these two settings are enabled.
