I wish mermaids got a refresh, absolutely. But I just bought Island Living for them and I have no regrets. The world alone is worth it, and I love my storylines with them.

Mermaids actually get upset when you have mounted fish on the wall. I accidentally married a mermaid and she kept crying when she'd see them until I took them down. LOL

Fun fact: There is a very fun mod "Expanded Mermaids". If you like mermaids you HAVE TO download it. It has a lot of new powers, depth etc

Tiny House for a Servo! Give Nina a place to move out to when April passes on.

I have no idea how sims is going to pull off an castle kit when round walls is the biggest issue

Get Stanley a veggie dog outfit and make him into a plant based sim. Build him a plant filled house with a weenie shaped greenhouse. Go on. It'll be great!

I hope the summer roadmap will get "a huge watery update" for this pack 😭 I imagine more people would buy island living if mermaids were real, not only mermaids by name

I'd like to see the aliens next: I think it could be fun to play around with the science fiction look.

Oh my God, you could tell that Kayla doesn't play with mermaids often, because she put a dead fish in the build and considered it "mermaid-y" ☠️

I play with mermaids only. I like that they are more similar to humans and don't have tier lists. The only thing I feel is lacking from Island Living is underwater world. I would like to be able to explore underwater and find collectibles. But I understand why would that be complicated to create.

I think the mermaids just need that skill tree - not even just for the skills but to be able to tell more concretely different stories like with the vampires. With the vampires you can be like, a vampire leader making a bunch of other vampires, or you can be a vegetarian vampire, or a daywalking vampire etc. etc. If we could have a few, even minor differences between one mermaid to the next that would make them more interesting. Like, they should have leaned into the siren/mermaid thing by making those interactions where you can lure sims into the water part of a skill tree. Have it so that theres skills for mermaids that make it so they can attract dolphins and fish to them, or make it so they can give sims temporary underwater breathing and then others where they can lure sims into drowning or can make boats crash. It would require integration with seasons, but wouldn't it be cool if a siren could call up a storm while a mermaid could make it sunny?

I totally vote PlantSim. They're so ridiculous and amazing and deserve a totally decked out eco lifestyle shipping container gone GREEN house! You could even base it off the house in the Eco Lifestyle world!

I built a tiny house for one of my vampires and hers is a little Gothic caravan that looks like an old horse drawn coach. It's actually really dope

I think it would be fun to see a robot tiny home. Especially since they have different needs and you could get really creative with how you decorate

I feel like a plant sim tiny house would be cute! 🍃🧑🏻‍🦱

I would have preferred they not added round walls than adding round walls that are unusable. Literally just did it to say they did.

One thing about a kayla build, she loves a little bump out

I know you've only made two occult tiny houses but I'm reallt enjoying this series!! And vampire tiny house sounds really fun

i just discovered this channel and i wanted to thank you for adding subtitles to your videos. when youtube removed community captions, a lot of creators i liked became inaccessible. it really makes a difference

two story tiny home need one thing: ladders. i downloaded kayla’s werewolf tiny house and immediately swapped the stairs for a ladder, then i could add a dining table

Can you do a video renovating that awful shipping container starter home in Port Promise in Evergreen Harbour? ❤ love your videos!

Oh gosh I love mermaids. I really hope they get a refresh :*(

Island living is actually one of my favourite packs. I live in a country with long cold winters. Like right now it's 5 PM and it's already dark, the temperature outside is freezing and there are crows everywhere in town. Playing in a sunny tropical ocean world is my escape.

They need to revamp and give Merfolk and Aliens skill trees.

The front of this house is GORGEOUS I can’t get over how cool it looks

Mermaids cry when they see dead fishes on the wall😭

Also you should def do a plant sim tiny house build! I'm also upset that they didn't give mermaids superpowers like in the H2O show!

Kayla says this is her flop era of building but in reality it’s way better than anything I’ve ever built lol

Woah! That layout is so impresive! Like this home both looks like a mini castle, has TWO circles AND is cleanly and logically layed out.

The MERMAID WHALE TAIL is everything. I LOVE IT SO MUCH❤

I think that turned out cute! I admit I've never played with a mermaid but they do have a few powers that are cool - I love the weather control. I find it funny given the "fish" debate that one of their powers is aquatic lure, and WHY don't they snorkel?? Don't really care which one you do next but alien will be the hardest next to this. The other will be easy comparatively I think; even plant sim, there's so much plant based stuff in the game.

I love to play with the mermaids, it's a shame they didn't get proper ocult stuff like vampires and werwolf. But they are able not just to swimm, they can switch the wether and changing the mood of other sims by singimg them a song. Oh and this fish on the wall will most probably make your mermaid sad (dead ocean friend) xD

I might be wrong, but I think the wallpaper you used on the outside is actually based on rammed earth, so yeah, it should remind you of sand! It's a super cool construction technique that's literally just... laying dirt. And then smashing it real hard!

Not only do mermaids not have a skill tree, they also have the hindrance of constantly needing hydration. They definitely need a refresh adding skills like a siren's song where they can attract people or something

The gasp i guspped when she moved the wall and the whole building just vanished 😂😂😂

My mermaid got a negative moodlet when she saw a fish mounted on the wall, so the choice of decor here might upset them a little 😂

id only buy the island living pack if they refreshed mermaids 👀

A fish on a wall is not a good choice for a mermaid because they get sad when they see it🤭

mermaids get sad in game when they see the mounted fish!!!

Based just on the thumbnail this build looks so much like the Madrigal home

Mermaid having mounted fish on the wall is kinda like Stanley eating a hotdog if you know what i mean

I could NOT unsee Mickey Mouse in the floor plan😂😂😂

Love it as always but also FISH on the WALLS kayla she’s a MERMAID those are her PALS

Mermaids really need a refresh

The fish on the walls always give the mermaids a sad moodlet. :(

Fun fact: Maremaids also have some weather control powers, but i am pretty sure they only work if you have seasons. Half of their abilities are locked behind a whole other expantion pack

This buid was THE HOUSE to use the Shell Chair, I really thought it would be used everywhere

Round walls are still so broken even the windows that are supposed to work with them don't work great. I made a pretty build with round walls but ended up having to use basket to block off one side of some of the beds so sims wouldn't get stuck. And although i covered most of the weird windows I still have a few bits that look wrong

Omg occult tiny houses sounds so amazing!!!

Okayy, so super random but youd look so cute with bangs❤ this build actually makes me wanna play with mermaids again, they genuinely need an upgrade

Dan's for sure doubling the audio on purpose at this point 😂

It looks just like Prince Eric’s castle from the little mermaid!!!

love the bangs so much simsie

Not me forgetting that mermaids already exist, reading the title and thinking "oh that's cute mermaids would be cool wouldn't they" LOLLLLLLLLLLL

Round walls ate so troublesome. I feel so validated when even a professional Sims player has issues with them 😂

I’m so excited for this build!

I hate that they cant really do anything special different from normal sims

I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a plant sim house. (Not counting "plant sim" as in this sim really loves plants. lol) I think that would be interesting.

i want to see the vampire tiny house next!

I’d love a plantsim tiny house! Especially the idea to just turn it into a whole sunroom

It never fails to impress me how good lil simsie is at build mode, I can’t even build a house I’m surviving off the gallery and the prebuilt houses.

You are soooo good at talking and looking at us while you play most of the times I think its your twitch stream and just your commentary over it. Really truly impressive

I love this build and I love the concept of this build series!

First off, thanks for Travel Town, great game. Second off, wonderful build

This is really fun I would go for vampires next a house for Vlad to downsize too

I love how every time she chooses round walls she says “ I don’t know why I chose round walls this is a disaster”

KAYLA MERMAIDS GET SAD AROUND MOUNTED FISH

Tbh I was so sceptical when you decided to go with disney castle inspo, like 'waaaaat in Sulani? This matches exactly nothing'. BUT you managed to pull it out so goooood, I think that's one of my favourite tiny houses of yours.😍

this is persnally why i LIKE gamepacks focused on occults. the entire pack is for that occult type rather then a broad subject the occult is part of, so they get a lot more skills and perks and stuff that expansion pack occults don't get. the team has to focus on a much broader theme with expansions so i find some aspects are often lacking in comparison to gamepacks centered around a smaller theme

Plantsim next!!! Just a green house full of plants! Im thinking the leaf maximalist wallpaper and like glass ceilings so the plants can grow!

My mermaid Sim hates the mounted fish, because it’s her “fish friends” who are dead on the wall

Kayla you're so funny, you make my days so much lighter

I like the house, it's cute. I haven't had a mermaid Sim in a long time. I think I might have one again. You made the round walls work. EA should have tested those more before releasing them and made like more windows and stuff work with them, along with things like curtains. Travel town sounds fun. I started playing Hayday when you suggested it and I'm hooked. I'm on level 39 now, close to 40. I play it constantly. lol

love that Kayla is going for castle and serving happy home paradise for an octopus instead. animal crossing is truly a lifestyle

I was doubting u when u brought out the round walls but somehow u made it work! Love ur vids!

As someone who works in construction, stairs with windows is a thing. So it’s for sure fine.

The house actually gives me The Little Mermaid vibes and it’s perfect!! 😂😊🩷

i’ve been trying to build this myself the last few days, and keep ending up with beach huts. this is literally the best timing thank you so much

"The mermaid objectively doesn't need a boat, she IS the boat" xD

the expanded mermaids mod makes them so much better

Mermaids get a sad moodlet when they see mounted fish 💀

Ooohh. I would love a remake on a spellcastor house

i actually kinda love how this came out! the exterior is very pretty :-)

they should just make a mermaid pack eventually anyway. its like how vampires were in both sims 3 supernatural and in sims 3 late night

You can really tell Simsie doesn't play with occults since she doesn't even know that mermaids have powers. They could still do with a major refresh & skill tree, but they can change the weather, sing to other sims to make them feel different emotions (such as flirty, sad, etc), summon sea monsters (this might be trait dependent; i know good sims can't), lure better fish to fishing holes, & have an easier time communicating with dolphins than humans do. They're also totally immune to drowning, which I consider a plus.

This building isn't a flop! I absolutely loved how it turned out!!!

I NEED a series with lil homes from lil Simsie for our lil ocult sims!! Love it, even tho the curved walls tried to defeat you haha

Personally, I don’t think they’re objectively the worst. I prefer having a simpler occult type that largely only affects the aesthetic-my biggest concern is having a pretty mermaid on my screen, and I got that. I’d take that 100 times over a rampaging werewolf

I really like the mermaids theme! Thanks for the video! I must say that I wish there were fairies too! And I would love for the next tiny house a Witchy House theme💜

absolutely in love with this build, Kayla! in my humble opinion very much worth the stress with the round walls (tho you might think about this differently haha 🥲). I'd love to see a plant sim tiny home - smth very green, lush and filled with light (=plant house vibes??) would be beautiful!! love your content, thank you so so much! ❤

I mean sure the mermaids have a lot less than the others, but the pack isn't "Mermaids" like its "werewolves" and "Vampires" its "Island living". It's one feature alongside beaches and building on water and swimming in the ocean, just like aliens are a small part of a pack that does way more.

You should do a rags to riches with mermaids. Stanley can be a mer-weenie and make money by diving for treasure and taking underwater pictures in Sulani. His tail should be red and yellow for ketchup and mustard. Mermaids can sleep floating on water, so he wouldn't need a bed! Also, pee in the ocean and shower under the waterfall. I'd watch it!

aliens and mermaids absolutely need a refresh

LOOVE THE BUILD!!! also I wanted to tell you, I just started my first ever legacy challenge, and my sim finally got a baby, when she went into labor I clicked have baby and was very very surprised to see TRIPLETS 😭😭😃😃, it's simsies fault /j😂😂 I love you and just wanted to share sorry for the rant!! 🥰🥰

I’d actually love to see a tiny house for a plant sun, I’m just imagining all the plants and I know you’ll make it so beautiful

Love these occult tiny houses! You mentioned aliens so I think you should do them next ;)

If love if you built with all the occult packs. Maybe an occult family where each family member is a different occult sim

I just wish the mermaids were like the ones from sims 3. I loved how you could actually swim underwater and see the underwater caves and treasures

This turned out cute! For next occult, what about the mummies from sims 3? I feel like there's enough items in the game to make a pyramid/sand/Egyptian inspired build

pleaseeeee, there's a shell-shaped chair perfect for this house
