After denying the fans an in-game swimming pool for a long time, Electronic Arts, the developers of The Sims 4, has finally obliged! The Sims 4 was released without the swimming pool feature, which was later introduced in The Sims 3. The makers had eliminated the feature from The Sims 4 but introduced a DLC with the swimming pools later on.
Players can now drown their Sims or even order their Sims to pee in their pools, much to the annoyance of the other Sims. In a free update for The Sims 4, the swimming pools were added. The players have to open their Original account for the feature to download automatically to their installation location.
Ryan Vaughan, the producer of The Sims 4, has come up with a quick guide on what the players can do with the swimming pools. The swimming pool, like the creators thought, is a way to kill the Sims. It is now added to the list of ten methods that already exists to murder the Sims. Once the Sims are stuck in the pool they can’t call out for help. They start turning from green to yellow to red and finally die without air. Once dead, they rise as ghosts and get special powers.
The Sims can socialise, play, decorate and exercise near and inside the pool. They can also sit around them, which they were previously unable to do. The developers added a mischievous element. The Sims can even pee in the pools and irritate the other Sims sharing the pool.
In The Sims 4, players can customize their new swimming pools according to their taste. The players have the flexibility to use new angles and curves. The Sims 4 team mirrors the excitement of the players regarding this new feature.
Unlike The Sims 3, the pool in The Sims 4 is not a subterranean fixture. The pool here can be placed wherever the player wishes to, including the top of a building. Players can have pools on every floor of the house if they like and have windows on the side of the pools to create infinity pools. The depth of the pools can also be adjusted by changing the height of the surrounding wall.
The pools in The Sims 4 allow the players the freedom to build walls around them and decorate the surrounding area. Players can create a landscape garden or place glasses around the pools depending on their preferences.
Vaughan also said that EA is going to launch new careers for Sim 4 from next month. There will be two career paths, Business, with Investor and management and Athletics, with bodybuilder and professional athletes.
