I agree. I don't think ponds are recognized as actual water bodies by the game. They function more like a water feature. Many worlds now have areas where you can access a water body for swimming and using water vehicles. However, you can't create a natural water body using the terrain features in build mode. It would also be nice if terrain features were updated to allow sims to create rocky terrain elements such as cliffs and moving water elements such as waterfalls.
pandacookiesims have you tried using the move objects cheat to make little waterfalls? If not, you can use the Fountain Decorations Spraying Water Emitters and any garden rocks. With a bit of manoeuvring you can lift the rocks up, enlarge and stack them and hide the water emitters inside them. It's a bit easier with the Grotto Cascades from the Riviera Retreat kit but can be done just with the Base Game and it creates a pretty waterfall effect for gardens and ponds. There are some different rocks in debug too that I've just used on my lake with a boathouse and blended with the Grotto Cascades.
Great ideas for builders! 🙂
