I understand that EA isn't into adding it to other worlds, and I'm cool with it for the most part... but this is a literal actual beach that needs to be updated to be more similar to the other beaches. Plus, it would give mermaids more compatible neighborhoods. With Werewolves coming out mermaids are by far the most limited of the occult sims with where it's viable and fun to play them.The other places I can understand not being swimmable, but this is advertised and described as a beach.

Yes I agree BB ocean needs to be open for swimming and the beach aka sand unlocked so you can place lounge chairs there and also look for shells,build sandcastles and draw in the sand.

I agree 1000%, I don't even have my sims live in that world because of that very reason, it frustrates me to no end, to see this beautiful beach that is nothing but set dressing! Why even give us a "coastal world" if you can't actually do beachy/coastal things like swim, snorkel, look for seashells, build sandcastles, boating?

Really I would be happy with just swimming let alone anything else.At the time it was released I didn't mind so much, but now that we have other beaches where you can do beach things it really seems weird and out of place.

I know, it doesn't make any sense for it not to be swimmable. The Windenburg island should also be swimmable.

Brindleton Bay Beach Should Be Swimmable.

I agree, but at least they don't tell you to look at the beach, what a lovely beach it is, give you a house on the sandy beach in the beach area of the coastal world then not let you do any beach things on the beach in the beach neighborhood of the coastal world.

There's a lot right next to the beach in Windenburg island too and the beach looks accessible for swimming except it's not.

Yeah, but the in-game text does not advertise the beach there, at least. This is literally labeled as a beach, they clearly know it is a beach.

Only if we get an off switch. I don't want my Sims swimming in the ocean in the middle of a blizzard.
