Why no pool table

I have been playing The Sims since it first came out on console. I still have some of the games going back to the PS2. And those games had a pool table in it. Why is there no pool table? I'm quite sure it's very simple to put it in. I mean, you put in a wall where you could surf on PlayStation 2. But pool tables should not be that difficult. I just don't want to ride a horse.

  • @Mark359A I'd really like one too! But I can see how it ends up getting put off. It takes a lot of new animation, plus coding for the many variation of ball movement on the table, plus coding for variations in game play (solo, scored, etc.). I really do hope they get around to adding this someday, and do it well. I'd like entertaining fail states, too, not just "snooker simulator".
  • I really don't know why we don't have pool tables either. We know they made them in The Sims 3 so you'd think they have the ability to do it in Sims 4. However Sims 4 isn't as polished on games as Sims 3. Now the chess board isn't really a game they play it's just moving pieces with no real game. In sims 3 it ran an actual game match. I imagine they just don't want to put in the work to make it perfect like they did in Sims 3. Sims 4 is much more bare bones.
