No water under ocean?

This game has very little immersion. And a lot of players are okay with it and feel that immersion is not important. I cant relate to them at all.But whatcha gonna do?

Well, there is no underwater lots and no underwater deep, deep swimming/deep diving. Diving is just a rabbit hole.

Sooo....maybe that could be why? Just speculating.

Honestly I'm not surprised that the water is just a surface layer. It has no actual physics which outside the first person view isn't a problem. I think I saw the camera in a GC video be unable to pass the water in standard mode so we theoretically won't notice in 3rd person play. Probably cuts down on resources.

It's the same water as in the pools.

Wow, so i actually watched the video. Its worse than I thought. Im starting to really want a new, better sims game and less mess like this.

Not having real diving isn't a big issue for me. I had a lot of issues with it in sims 3, my sims would reset and get stuck, especially anytime they tried to go into the undersea caves to explore. I am not at all upset they didn't include it here.

Isn't this how water always worked in this game anyway ?
TS4 was never meant to be played in first person, it's something they added for fun. They're not going to build the game around it.

If you do want a good diving game, might I recommend: Subnautica.

No. Sims 3 had diving underwater. I don't think people should have to play other games for quality. The sims should have fleshed out , quality gameplay and features.However, because quality and effort doesnt seem to be a priority with this game, I can see how some players who want more might simply have to.

huh, that's a pity, I recall some people posting on this forum that they were looking forward to snorkeling in first person camera.

The Sims 4 isn’t the only game where the water is just a blue opaque layer. Other games use this method as well. Besides, the game doesn’t have actual diving like TS3, so I don’t see the big deal, but everyone’s different I suppose.
