    If a Sim is feeling playful, they can Swim Around Playfully. :D I also noticed that my level 8 fitness Sim was swimming laps faster than my level 1 fitness Sim.

    How do you get the not-pool in the middle of a pool? I tried the hammer but it only deleted the whole pool :/

    These pools are great! They were much better than TS3's base game pools. IMO, the wait for the patch was worth it. There is a lot of potential for more pool activities and objects, especially with multitasking. Now we just need toddlers and more sensible careers and we're all set. Also, the new swimwear is gorgeous!

    I built a moat, lol.

    Just draw each section of the pool and then join them together around the thing in the middle (by pulling the edges). Kind of like the way you would join different sized pools together in Sims 3. I like that you can just pick the whole thing up and move it if you don't like where you placed the thing.

    ETA: I also built a sunken indoor pool. I love the build options of the pools, haven't even tried live mode yet.

    I found some interesting things in pools that some people might miss.

    1)Sims can finally chat in pools but they can also chat with a sim who is outside the pool.

    2)Sims can flirt in pools and that includes blow kisses in pools as well.

    3)Sims can not only splash each other in pools but splash a sim outside the pool. The sim outside kick splashes them back.

    4)There are some new swim hats with this patch one for males and one for femalse. Males get a bandana.

    5)Fountains can't be placed in pools yet but lillies can.

    6)Sims in pools can flirt with a sim outside a pool and vice verca. They can also blow kisses to a sim outside a pool and vice verca.

    Thanks :smiley:

    The trick is to build the pool. Then delete a section in the middle. It has to be bigger than the pond or it doesn't work. Unfortunately, you can't bring them up to meet eachother. So you have to be a little creative on where you're pieces meet. I had high hopes I could bring everything flush. I even tried using walls, but it didn't work. I was going to return the four pillars back to just the pool but I wound up really liking them there. I'm happy with the results.

    Here's a pick with the grid turned on so it can give you a rough idea.

    @Ceejay402 I've seen so many people having issues with that mod that I'm not inclined to try it.

    If two sims have drinks they can make a toast while sitting together at the pool. Look under friendly for the interaction.

    So I guess you can't actually make them jump into the pool -- it just happens sometimes randomly? (I wish I could -- so far my Sim only climbs in via the ladder. I suppose I could take out the ladder, but I kind of like having one.)
    Pay for product -- not potential!

    I found that you don't need ladders to get out of the pool. They will swim to the side and climb out. Don't know if that has been mentioned.

    I just checked and actually you could get your sims to splash each other in the pool.

    Did you know?

    Sim townies will splash your sim if he s sitting on the pool even if their aqaintences and never met. It builds social fast and the friendship bar goes up quick.

    If your sim is sad they can swim around sadly. Ironic, considering they're sad because their sister died in the pool.

    If your sim is sitting on the pool strangers will sit by them and get acquainted.

    Did you know sims can coach other sims (not just children) swimming?
