Indoor Swimming Pools in Winter

The one thing that has bugged me is why indoor swimming pools cannot be used in Winter. They are indoors and surely shouldn't be effected by the winter cold, ice and snow etc. Whenever my Sim goes to the Harbor Quarter Gym in Winter the pool is unusable for Powerhouse group meetings. I can understand that pools outside freeze over but not indoor ones. :/

  • I'm only briefly in here because I'm in the middle of something else but I actually know the answer to this. Swimming pools do work inside in winter. The pool at the Harbor Quarter Gym is actually outside because the roof is open. That's why you can't use it in the winter in its original state. If you were to put a glass roof up, you would be able to use it in the winter. Windenburg is cold and snowy in the winter. I know that it almost looks like it is an indoor pool but it is not. Some of the other worlds have hot days in the winter during which you can swim outdoors such as the desert worlds and Sulani.

    I have multiple indoor pools that sims use in winter. Among those that I have added include: an indoor pool in the Fontainebleau Penthouse in the Arts Quarter of San Myshuno that has glass walls to see the city; an indoor pool in a massive gym that I reconstructed in Oasis Springs where I let sims from different worlds visit in winter for swimming; the gym in Del Sol Valley has a pre-made indoor pool. It's not quite the subject but I added an outdoor pool to the gym in Willow Creek and various outdoor pools in some of the worlds.
  • @PrincessrozeeS I think that pool is only partially indoors. I've seen rain and snow gather there

    It's the same with plants. If the weather is to cold it won't let them be planted in doors, it makes no sense really.


    I have a large greenhouse with plants growing year round just fine. The only time I've seen them dormant is if I moved them inside from outside during the winter, but after a few days they woke up.
