Nope. The sims are basically pre-made and self-made sims. All of them seem to be immune from drowning for some reason.
Here are 2 pictures on hidden traits. One is from a pre-made sim. The other is from a self made sim. Also, there is a picture of the bug happening where the sim has zero energy, but still doesn't die in the pool. If you need more to diagnose the problem, do just let me know.
By fresh save, if you mean a brand new game, then nope. They still wouldn't drown. In fact, the self-made sim is from a fresh new game as well and he wouldn't die too. I suspect the patch may have affected my game. But I'm not sure what happened.
I've uploaded the random self-made sim under my username "Dorifto96". The household name is Fletcher, which is a single a male sim with a red suit and pink cap.
The other sim i had used was from the BFF household, pre-made sim, "Liberty Lee" from the Willows Creek neighbourhood. This household is from the base game I believe.
Do let me know if the death works on another game. If worse come to worse, a mod that can force the death to occur might be a good workaround.
I understand. I'm just curious to see if others are having the same problem. Might just bring this up to EA personally if I'm the only one having this issue, though minor.
@dorifto96 I can verify for a fact Sims do experience "Drowning to Death"
This was while swimming in the ocean. Energy full red she was autonomously swimming toward a place to nap.

Downloaded your Sim from the gallery. Is this the Sim you made that would not drown?
Did he have any fitness skill or earned reward traits of any kind?
In an earlier post you indicated you tried this in a fresh save. Were there and mods or cc in the game folder when you tried this with a new save?
@Dorifto96 I put your Sim in a save of my own. Though he shows zero skills and only basic traits he certainly has an amazing amount of stamina.
After swimming for several (Sim) hours he finally became Very Uncomfortable / Low Energy / Cramp / Sudden Chill / Swallowed Water
I made him keep swimming until he refused due to excess fatigue. Even after days {!} at the gym he would always recover and not die.
Cramps were from eating then going swimming right after.
Testing in a new save now to compare results.
@EuphorialQueen That is weird. So it's only on my version of the game. Now I'm stumped why, though I don't have the IL expansion pack.

No fitness skill of any kind. I just randomly chose his traits when I made him. No reward Traits either when he is first created.
I do use mods. 2 in my first post and now 1 more from @crinrict to check the Sims info. Though i have removed them and tested them to see if they were the cause, but my sims still won't drown.

This is strange indeed. Now I have no idea what's the issue with my version of the sims lol
@dorifto96 "This is strange indeed. Now I have no idea what's the issue with my version of the sims lol"
Neither do I ... 😮 I moved him to a brand new save with a second Sim to test together.
They are in Sulani with lots of opportunity to swim. I let the two of them chat a bit then sent him off to swim.
It was not until about 9pm that first day he shows about half energy (yellow) bar.
Hunger is now in the high end of the red (hungry but not starving).
Have you seen this in any of your other Sims?
I wonder if the patch may have contributed. I watched the Q&A for Island Living and recall there being a mention of tweaking the swimming system.

Yup. I tried to drown one of the pre made sims. "Liberty Lee" from the BFF household in Willows Creek. She too didn't die after having zero energy.
I too suspect the patch contributed. But i have no idea how. Intially, i did the uninstall and reinstall, but the problem still persisted. Unless I may have done the uninstall wrong.
@Dorifto96 Thank you for supplying the Sims and patiently waiting for an answer.
I will see what I can find out and let you know if additional information is needed.

@dorifto96 I have news ~ ~ ~ good and bad so brace your self.
The Sim who could not drown is not immortal.
He just drowned in the ocean.
RIP
@EuphorialQueen Sorry for the late replies. Was away for a short trip and didn't have time to check these forums.
So does this mean drowning is only available in Island Living now? Was the sim able to die in the pool? It kinda seems like he can under different games, but not mine for some reason.
Unless you had to wait a super long time for him to die at zero energy?
Also, worse come to worse, is there a way to notify EA directly about issues like this? I know is minor, but I hope they do take note of this and fix it in further patches.Or at least, prevent their further patches from ruining the game further.
Small update:I installed the MCCC mods and was able to force kill the sims by drowning. This seems to indicate the deaths are still there, but I don't know why the standard way of triggering it doesn't work. It's not a perfect solution, but I guess it's better than nothing. At least I can continue to play my morbid storyline

I'm seeing this as well no mods also a sim I made
Your not the only one both me and my brother have tried to drown sims nothing works they just swim around even with no energy nothing happens
