Freezing to death in the pool... I’m over it.

In my most recent save file I gave my Sims a pool... and immediately remebered why I dont give them pools. My sim has frozen to death a total of 5 times in a single save due to her constantly using the pool in the winter. What reasonable person would try to go swimming in the middle of a blizzard? I can see sims using the pool in the fall or spring thinking eh its not too cold and then realizing it is indeed too cold. But how is it the pond next to the house is frozen solid yet the pool remains a death trap? and what is the obbsession with using it? I mean I feel like she uses it more in the winter than anytime else! Now, here are my ideas. 

  1. A pool cover
  2. pools freeze in the winter
  3. Sims understand that using the pool while it is freezing outside is probably a bad idea. 

I hope- no I plead for this issue to be addressed in the next laundry day patch. And on a brighter note I applaud the Sims team for these laundry day patches! As a player since 2007 at the ripe age of 6 seeing care being put into the game lately really warms my heart. Now if only my sims heart could stay warm... Thank you!

    My suggestion is to enclose the pool into a fenced area and then during the winter, lock the gate for all Sims so that way your Sim will not randomly go swimming. Or turn autonomy off 😉
