Pool Party SP idea

Stuff Pack!

This SP includes several new objects and gameplay.


  • New social event: pool party!
  • New type of pools: above ground pools, similar to Bestway ones. Players can drag a pool up the ground level and use a new framed tool to made a above ground pool. Accessories like ladders and lights can also be placed there.
  • New building tools: curved edges for swimming pool!
  • New objects: swimming pool bar, swimming pool volleyball net
  • New interactions: adult sims can teach younger sims how to swim, new pool games and interactions
  • New gameplay: pool cleaning. Placing a internal filter or using a leaf skimmer (can be deactivated in Packs Options)


BG updates:


  • Curved edges for swimming pools!
  • Swimming skill for toddlers and childrens! Teens and older sims will swim by default

    I agree with this and have mentioned many of these in the past

    My favorites for this are in this order

  • Pool bar
  • Pool Party
  • Teaching children to swim (much how I want teaching to ride a bike and drive a car if they come out)
  • Marco Polo
  • Really tall diving boards for public pools for fancy dives
  • Swim Team as after school activity
  • I'd even go for synchronized swimming if it gave more gameplay
  • Cleaning the pool makes a bit of sense as long as it wasn't overused

  • Diving boards and water slides should be a BG update, like telescopes and pool tables.
  • Swim competitions would be nice. They could be held at a gym or public pool lot, sort of like a festival. There could be entries for jumps, speed swimming or maybe style. Active lifeguard career and pool cleaning service would be nice too.

    I've mentioned this idea as well so I am happy to see other people suggesting it

    I would add more pool floats, 2-sims floats, float rings for toddlers. I would really like a donut themed float and a giant unicorn one.
    Large run through sprinklers

    I love love the idea of a pool party and the pool bar- swim up

    There's just go much I want for pools I'd buy an expansion or game pack just for pools.

    Activities
    Marco Polo
    Game of diving sticks
    Noodle Joust or just float on them if that is your thing
    Swimming competition
    Belly flop competition
    Pool party

    Objects
    Normal sized diving board I refuse to use that ugly platform from Get Together
    Volleyball net
    Pool slide
    Waterfall
    Floating tea lights or led
    Pool steps
    Inground hot tub that connects to pool
    Wave machine it would be so nice to turn a large community pool into a surf spot
  • They could make pool stairs just like those they made for the onsen.
