Water tool missing?

Hi I'm new here, but I just purchased the Sims 4 and was excited to see there was an ability to make a pond. However, upon all of my research, I still cannot seem to locate this water tool. It's nowhere to be found on my game. Do you have to purchase this option? I'm so confused because I thought I read it was a free addition.

    Hi there @3c84bbf34bbca050ecf8888298adc1b6,

    The water tool is located under Build mode in the Terrain Tools section. Once you head into Terrain Tools, you'll see an option there for the Water Tool. This update is available for the base game, and does not need any DLC to access. 

  • So I do not have a water tool under the build mode. I have looked at several videos on where it should be and it’s just not there. I’m not sure what I’m missing. =(

    @3c84bbf34bbca050ecf8888298adc1b6 Can you provide some screenshots of how your Build and Buy catalouge looks like? It sounds very odd that you're missing the pond tool! Is your game also updated to the latest version that has the pond tool in it?
  • Yes when I get home I will show you guys. And I think so!! I just got it for my birthday and downloaded it and it had me update it immediately after downloading. I have a Mac, does that make a difference?

    The pond tool was made available awhile ago, so if your game just downloaded and updated, it should be available for you. 

    Do you know if you're playing the Legacy Edition of The Sims 4?
