[ARCHIVED] [IL] Sims hold umbrella while swimming in ocean

So, I might have found out why the umbrella thing happens with merfolk. I attached screenshots.

First, I want to say that having my merfolk use a sleeping interaction underwater is something I absolutely love. A big part of that is how it speeds up time when they sleep and the way things look.

Anyways, I think the Umbrella thing happens because of the intermediate action between walking on land and swimming.

Open Water Latters and the Shores of the Open World have an interaction a sim performs between swimming in the Open World and Walking around in the Open World.

When I used BB.Moveobjects to put objects underwater, I essentially removed the Wading and Climbing the Latter Interactions. This made the bug happen 100% of the time.

I haven't had this bug happen in pools, and I noticed that it seems to be happening in the Open World. It's as if sims start treating Open World Swimming areas like they are a part of the Open World they would normally walk around on. Everything from Walking on Water to using Umbrellas while swimming seems to be connected to this.

To recreate this:

Go to a Waterfront Lot in Sulani (I used Sapphire Shores):

Enable the cheat BB.MoveObjects

Place Objects Underwater

Have Sims interact with Underwater Objects

So far: Beds, Love Chairs, Living Chairs, Dining Chairs, Woodworking Tables, Easels, and Stereo's are all functional objects when places underwater. This isn't an intended thing, so it triggers a lot of bugs.

I still love having things my merfolk can do Underwater, and I hope that one day I can have, at least, a functional merfolk bed my merfolk can use to sleep underwater. I know merfolk can float at the top of the water, but there's just something really cool about being able to sleep underwater. Also, it just looks really cool too!
