Have you guys noticed teh water in the other worlds, i thas depth and waves now.

I was just wondering if anyone has noticed the water lately in the prevous worlds, all water areas have some type of depth as in shallow waters you can go swiming and in deaper waters you can do other stuff. Also the water used to have a no route over it, however it is now a disabled cursor. I think they been working on Island Living for a while before they announced it as the space is already there. windingBurg from GT will likely have a functional ocean, and so will the world from Cats 8 Dogs.

    Only functional water comes in the EP world. No other existing world gets updated water, and frankly I wouldn’t hold my breath on any future world getting it either.

    If you are expecting those places to change you will be disappointed because it’s already been confirmed they will remain nonfunctional.
  • @drake_mccarty after doing some research @SimGuruLyndsay, said On for Shuni for now, other words look like they will get updated over the summer based on what they look like now. The Winding Burg Appears to have a ocean beach in a few places so that one will most likely be one of the first ones, came with GT, not sure about Willow Creek thugh, Applilation Plains appears to have a ocean beach bay and you may be able to jump off dock when ready.
  • They were pretty clear, swimming is only available on the new water. The new water is exclusive to the island world in the expansion pack and the other worlds water still does not function.

    As for updating those worlds, it is extremely unlikely for that to happen. It’s up in the air on future worlds, but honestly I doubt it. They will keep it exclusive to this pack.
  • Well, they did say it's possible for other worlds to be updated in time but they have no specific timeframe and can't promise it. Unfortunately, with all the info flowing around the past days, I can't remember where exactly it was said and can't provide a link to it.

    All they said that is possible to look into that in the future, but that is it. They usually don't give much info until things are confirmed and ready. So doesn't mean no but not yes either, more like a maybe for now as they said the door is open toward opening all the oceans.

    Sure it would be nice and handy; but since we can world hop and plan on my sims living in Sulani for awhile, I am not too upset about it either. It would be more upsetting if you couldn't just go to any world.

    Also, the same thing happened with Sims 3, they patched it in around Seasons I believe. Every so often they will patch something from expansions in later or around that time to improve on things.
  • The other worlds water texture has already changed, and the water once had a no circle through it now it has a disabled cursor, I believe later on you may be able to do water activities in the other worlds over time, because of teh huge amount of space that has opened up to moving in the other worlds. The oceans look like they have depth now instead of just un seaable water that was there before. I belive the shallow bodies of water may allow you to go swiming in it. The oceans themselvs have lines in them like they are missing a bottom. Also in one of the worlds you can scroll all the way out to where the loockness monster jumps out of the water, never been able to do that before.
