[FIXED] Freestyle swimming produces puddles on ground below/above

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Deutsch
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.58.63.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a pool on the second floor of a building. To better detect the bug, let the pool protude over the edge of the first floor so that it's partially "flying" above the ground outside. Now let a played Sim swim in the pool who has a high enough fitness skill to automatically swim freestyle.
What happens when the bug occurs? The swimming Sim causes a water puddle animation on the ground below the pool. The puddles follow him and disappear. This seems only to happen with freestyle, not with breaststroke or mermaid swimming as far as I can see (it's somewhat hard to test).
What do you expect to see? No puddles.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

I never would have noticed this if I hadn't build a remake of a bizarre pool from TS3. Everyone who wants to test it can download my "Pool of Lunar Lakes" from the Gallery. The bug has already happened before yesterday's patch and was not fixed by it.

    Same here for me now. I've noticed it before but it disappeared after the sim swimmed for a bit. Now however in a new house it's visable all the time. :/
    Pool in basement and the splashes from the sim shows on ground floor.

    What happens when the bug occurs? the water splashes appear on the ground floor (1st floor for US)
    What do you expect to see? I do not see the splashes on the pool but on the ground floor. This happens even if it is a couple of floors below ground level

    Decided to build a basement pool in the new house I'm playing and ran into this issue immediately. The puddle animation shows up on the floor above the pool (ground level).
