    Does anyone know if our sims will be able to swim in any water (in the other worlds) after adding this latest EP?

      I have same question. Swim everywhere or not? Weather condition? And can they get sun burn everywhere or only at sulani?

      I highly doubt it. Someone was asked this question on Reddit who played it yesterday and they said it’s only open in the island. They have said before that the water in other worlds would have to be completely reworked to be swimmable because it isn’t actual water just paint. This is fine with me I’d rather the budget be spent elsewhere than opening water everywhere.

      It is sad. It's like Pets, pets only at BrinBay :( I mean you can put Trait but you never will see how your neighbor walking dog out etc...
      How about sun burn? also only in Island?

      Not sure I heard somewhere on here that someone who played it said it was connected to the lounge chairs and towels. So very possible in other worlds if that is true. I’d be fine with it being connected to those too I’d rather my sims not constantly burn or tan.

      It is sad but it doesn’t bother me personally too much. Again if them opening waters everywhere would have taken away from something else in the pack it’s not worth it. I’ll take content any day over that because this pack looks filled with it. At least it’s open somewhere and gives me even more reason to constantly use that world (which I will anyway it’s so pretty).

      Doubt it. Someone also already said it was just Sulani.

      People who went to EAPlays said you can't swim in other waters, only Island Living.

      Did you watch the EAPlays show? The host is English and she said that the waters where she lives are so murky that you can't see anything even if you wanted to get into those dirty waters. So, if they opened up all waters, most of them would look like places you wouldn't want to swim in anyway. :)

      Not that surprising. Even adding the pool swimming animations (with no coral reefs) in the other body of waters would have been better than having to travel to the same beach every time. But as someone mentioned, it is just like how pets/strays are confined to one neighborhood.

      Aww darn, I was hoping to swim @ Granite Falls. I guess I kind of expected that but I'm not very fond of single worlds having features that make sense in all worlds.

      Kind of disappointing, but expected.

      Granite Falls, Brindleton Bay and Windenburg all have beach areas where it makes sense for sims to swim.

      I don't think it's the same thing.

      The strays being confined to bb was a design choice incase ppl didn't want to see strays everywhere they go. For some reason they couldn't put a toggle so it was either strays in all worlds (with no way of escaping them) or just in one world.

      For the ocean swimming thing. They said it's unlikely to be a thing in all worlds because it might mess up ppls saves.

      Kinda expected it really. Though there's only like two places I would have wanted it to be swimmable would be like the island in Widenburgh and where the commercial lots are in Oasis Spring I believe. THOUGH, I hope they'll add other bodies of water swimmable in like new worlds.

      Though I'm curious if the beach towel is portable and you can just use it at other places to lounge around at the other fake beaches in other worlds.

      No biggie, just hope they'll create more worlds where the waters are open.

      Same, and I hope the sand activities like sandcastles and tanning are available in the other worlds. Making routable water might be hard, but surely making sandcastles in other areas is doable?

      And who knows? What if a modder takes the ocean swimming code in IL and applies it to the other worlds? 🤔 Modders have picked up the slack before

      If the sandcastle is an object in BUYDEBUG then you might be able to place them on any beach or even in a homemade sand pit for your toddlers.

      Hopefully sims can build sandcastles in all beaches now? Well there's another question I'd like answered.

      In TS3, anywhere you'd paint with sand terrain paint, your toddlers were able to play in the sand. I wonder if it works the same or not :\

      IDK. Having to use buydebug just to build sandcastles outside Sulani feels like a cop out. They have an excuse for routable water, but not land activities

      If a child played TS4 with no previous frame of reference, I'm sure she'd ask why sandcastles can be built in Sulani but not the other beaches, because it's just common sense

      I'm not surprised if we won't be able to swim in the other worlds, but hopefully, all new worlds from now on will have swimmable water. I hope we can at least do sand activities in other worlds, such as in Brindleton Bay.
