@crinrict I tried as many pools as I can and thats the only one with the issue. I tried to change the depth and size of the pool and still didn't work. Also I put ladder, still no use. I couldn't find any workaround for this.
- bilgeytz5 years agoSeasoned Novice@crinrict I did now, yet it didn't work. Also what I've noticed is that, I cannot change the wall height of the house nor add walls (or half walls) in the living area. Always the same message pops: "can't place terrain pool under anything". I'm confused.

Beautiful lot. I tested your lot and am pretty sure the problem is with the terrain level where the pools are. Something was just a little off with the terrain elevation at that location. It appears to be just a little low and slopes down slightly from the floor level of the 2nd level. I adjusted the terrain and replaced the pools and got it so that a sim could get in. Once they could get in, they could also sit on the edge. I also made the pools the same height of the 1st level and had no problems with changing the wall heights or adding/changing walls in the house. It took quite a bit to get it to work so it might just be easier to flatten everything and start over. The way I got it to work after flattening the lot was that I created stand alone rooms for the pool areas and then brought the terrain up to their level then put the pools in with the water tool. So it can be made to work but it was time consuming as it wiped out pretty much everything in that area of the lot when I flattened the lot.
Hope this helps.

I managed my sims to use the pool at last 🙂 Thanks to @CGrant56 I got inspired by the build a room idea. However, I didn't flatten or change the terrain level. I simply created a room around the pool areas with the wall tool and then bulldozed the pools. I build the pools once again and deleted the walls. Now my sims can swim 🙂
I still can't change or add walls in the house, but I don't mind. I really liked this house and it is ok not to change it inside 🙂

edit: the pool was on elevated land so i flattened the whole lot and placed the pool on completely flat terrain and now it works... which really sucks cuz the house is heavily reliant on hill-like terrain.. no idea how im supposed to fix this since the whole house is on a huge hill. it will look extremely stupid if i have a big sunken in backyard..
i've tried doing this as well, along with bulldozing the whole lot, replacing the lot, making a 2nd pool in a different spot on the lot which worked for a bit then broke again, making a new save game and moving in a new family with the same house and still doesnt work =/ my sims could use the pool just fine the other day but today they get pathing errors.
