Pools are here

I just got a little automatic update before I started my game, and now I'm putting a pool in my backyard.

Yep, I made a post about the patch, and the pools are back here:

Didn't see that! Thanks for the great description of the update!

This little sim is "swimming laps" before his birthday party.

I'm in pool heaven.

It looks great.

I put one in at the gym, and my sim saw her friend, so she clicked on her. Her friend is level 10 fitness and there was an option "learn to swim".

Maxis has released an article with their 5 Coolest Pools they made:

Buried within it, I liked the tidbit that you can replace the pool walls with windows (giving more building visual options)

The Fish Tank. Fun fact: you can replace all of the walls of your pool with windows. Why? Because it’s super cool! It’s like all of your Sims are swimming in a giant fish tank. We made this one two stories tall, and then added a balcony above the entire thing for people to lounge on. It’s super swanky, and shows all of the other Sims in the neighborhood that you Sims are really confident in their bodies.

@ Bri, lol those pools are hilarious! 

[lindsaysoderberg]

@Playalot, you DEFINITELY are in pool heaven. Nice design.

@arimau, I love the underwater shot!

Anyone found a way to remove it since I installed the update mine keeps crashing.

When I got the patch and made a pool I just had to try and drown someone and make the new ghost.
One thing to note about a drowned ghost is when they come out and are wondering around your house they leave puddles of water when they haunt something or are in one spot for awhile so you spend a lot of time mopping up behind them.
