Can a guru please explain this to me? How in the world can a Sim drown while riding an Aqua Zip??
There have been real life occurrences of people going out on Jet Ski's only to lose control and drown. There was something that happened like that recently.

Well I hope they added animation for something like that. I really don't want my Sim to be zipping along on my Aquazip and BAM get a message I drowned...LOL This feels like a bad idea in the making.
Trust me I like the risk factor because this game could use some surprises. I will, however, have a problem if there is no animation letting me know this is going to happen. I don't want to get a message saying your sim has drowned for no good reason.
Personally, I don't want any more ways for my beloved Sims to die!
I surely don't want this if my sim is just going to drown with no warning on an Aquazip. I don't mind a surprise death but this seem ridiculous without an animation of your sim falling off or something like that.
So a cowplant can't kill you unless it eats you twice, you can't get electrocuted unless it happens twice, you get warnings for elder exhaustion, but Sims who can all swim by default can die on an Aqua Zip? Does it require crashing it twice?

I am still trying to figure out the answer to that. I asked a guru to respond. Maybe someone can bring it up at the live stream tomorrow LOL
Interesting. I might use a random townie to test it out just in case; but I suppose if they crash or flip it over they can drown. I never really used them before to really know how they can drown. Can they fall off them? Is it part of a skill that determines if they crash or not?

I have no idea. That is why I wanted a guru to answer. I would love it if they can but as I said I don't want a random message saying my sim drowned. Let me know if you find out during your test.
I really like that they implemented this. I like the idea that something "bad" can actually happen. This game is far too happy so it's a nice change to see them add some risks and some danger. But I totally respect and understand those that don't like this change. We all play different. I just love the element of bad things happening once in awhile, the unexpected.
Hey, I was bored and decided to try it out with Makoa
I had him ride around for a night, but nothing happened while he was normally riding. So, since drowning only happens when energy level is low in the water, I had him go around more until his energy was in red
then I slowed it to normal speed and watched him zip around
Unfortunately guys, no new animation, he teleported off the aquazip and decided to drown in the water ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't let your tired sims play with the aquazip if you don't want them teleporting into the water to die, gang!
As for skills, I'm not sure if fitness would play a role in this since drowning is only related to energy level (from what I know, at least)--Makoa didn't gain any more fitness from riding the aquazip so I'm not sure if it makes an impact on it at all.
Just teleporting? That's a little lame. Not to mention a bit immersion-breaking. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we have another risk in the game. But still, lame.

A text message isn't even comical. It just.... fails. Maybe it's me, but I don't see what's fun about it.
I do, however like it when unexpected (truly) comical thing happen - as long as it isn't every five minutes or something.
This just sort of seems to miss the point of it all.

yeah, it really was
When he suddenly stopped riding to teleport, I thought it was just because I didn't queue up another ride, but I got the notification that he was dying from drowning so

wow...ugh to the teleport. I wish they would have added an animation, well at least I got an answer to my question. Thank you @Cement for taking the time to do this

@SimGuruRomeo please explain since you are the one who wrote the patch notes.
Right...LOL So much excitement around sim death.

Lets make this a reality!

@Marnetti was on the money 👌

I mean, they didn't even animate then getting on the aquazip so
I don't know why an animation of them slipping off the aquazip would be possible
