Merfolk Cove Lot Trait

Lot Traits beach, island living, merfolk, mermaid, occult types, ocean, water 1

Do you have Island Living but can’t find any mermaids anywhere in Sulani? It’s because they’re hiding from you! Well, they don’t hide from you in a Merfolk Cove! Just set any beach in Sulani or elsewhere with this Merfolk Cove lot trait and the merfolk will gather in droves… and you’ll see them in their full mer-glory! Not only that, but once you visit a Merfolk Cove, the merfolk will learn to trust your Sim and they will be able to see the merfolk anywhere from then on. Pretty cool, huh?

Lot Trait Features
Here are the features currently included in this lot trait mod:
- Every four hours throughout the day, five or more merfolk will appear on the beach and probably start swimming around or come talk to your Sim.
- Most Sims will receive the same buff upon entering the cove except Sims who are merfolk themselves for whom there is an alternate buff.
- When the merfolk appear, there will be new buffs for all Sims.
- After visiting a Merfolk Cove, your Sim becomes trusted by all the merfolk and will from now on see all mermaids in their natural mer-forms in the ocean.
Lot Trait Buffs

Here are some of the mood buffs you can expect with this trait mod:

A Special Beach (Happy +1) – This beach cove is so beautiful but there’s also something very special about it. I just can’t figure out what is is exactly…

Home Away from Home (Happy +2) – This beach cove feels like a home away from home and it’s filled with fellow merfolk! I fit right in!

Thar Be Merfolk Here! (Happy +2) – I can hardly believe my eyes! There are mermen and mermaids swimming all throughout the cove! This beach is a magical place indeed!

Amongst My People (Playful +2) – I see so many of my people here! Time to have some fun in the sun and play in the waters!

Merfolk Woke (Happy +1) – I have a strange feeling that after having seen the merfolk at that cove, that merfolk everywhere will now reveal their hidden selves to me.

How to Use:

To use this trait you will need to go into Build Mode on a Beach, Island Bluff, or Pool Venue lot. This lot trait will only work on those three lot types! (The merfolk need a place to swim, okay?) Once in Build Mode, go to Lot Traits and select “Merfolk Cove” lot trait as shown in the preview screenshot image at the top of this post. That’s it! Now visit the lot and watch the merfolk swim around in the water and mingle!
