As Sims cannot enter a pool without a diving board or ladder, pools could simply be used as decoration.Ī Sim that enters a swimming pool will swim around in it autonomously. Swimming pools can only be built on the first floor. Pools could not be diagonal, and could not have any objects placed on top of them, excluding pool ladders and diving boards.
Pools in The Sims were constructed in horizontal fragments, which could overlap to form bigger pools.
