    Why Can't I Snorkel

    My sims don't snorkel. They just swim to the spot I clicked and then the action is canceled. I tried deleting the save file and then starting over but I still doesn't work
    I don't use mods and the only real cc I have is pose player and some hair. It's starting to get annoying.
    Can someone help me?

      Are you far enough into the ocean? Maybe there isn't enough room for them. Snorkeling causes the Sims to move around quite a bit, and they need some space!

      Try going deeper into the water. My sim wouldn't snorkel if the water was the bright blue color...Try going to the darker blue water :)

      Have you gone to the Science Center to take the SCUBA class? Are you able to snorkel in a swimming pool?
      There but for the Grace of God go I.

      Thanks for all the advice. They were to close to close to shore but it was so weird.

      I've just experienced this and it seems to just be a case of "not enough space" most of the time. When I moved my Sim out to a more open spot in the water, she was able to snorkel just fine.

      i'm having the same problem. I can snorkel in swimming pools but not in the ocean, my sim will swim out further into the ocean the action will cancel and she'll swim back to shore.

      Sometimes my Sim's snorkeling canceled. I thought I was doing something wrong. Sometimes she also would NOT STOP snorkeling, once started! Sometimes my Sim was missing work & almost drowned because of this. :cry:

      But I was hoping someone can tell me what is the Sim SUPPOSED to wear while snorkeling?
      Mine wears a long-sleeved white shirt & long blue pants! :oops:
      Isn't that abnormal? It started right from the beginning with a vanilla/no mods game.
      If diving, Sim DOES change into scuba gear, but how do I fix the ridiculous snorkeling gear?
      Her level of diving skill is only to around the half-way mark, I think, since I don't play Sims as often as I want (and get distracted rebuilding/decorating).
      Thanks for ANY info on this.

      Sims are suppose to wear their swimwear plus a snorkeling mask when the snorkel unless it's a full moon and they have the lunacy going on or, they are insane, in which case they may wear any outfit they have with the mask.
      Life is what you make it so, make it good.

      Thanks for telling, or rather, confirming what I was afraid of.
      :shock: :cry:
      I gave my Sim one of the swimsuits that came with Island Paradise!
      WHY is this happening then?? I am out of ideas to fix it and it looks so dumb to see my Sim like this.
      Guess its back to wasting more time trying to figure it out... :lol:

      My sim received an oportunity asking her to swim in the ocean. She is currently in Twinbrooks and I haven't been able to find a part where I can snorkel in open water, just at the pool. Is this not possible in Twinbrooks because there are only rivers there?
