No water under ocean?

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.

I prefer to compare sims 4 to other sims games . And it wasnt like that in sims 3. Island Paradise is definitely much , much better. I wish sims 3 had nicer graphics and more attractive sims, because I would not be playing or buying Sims 4 if it did. Sims 3 was class.

Maybe cause in Sims 3 just causes so many problems for people such as severe lag and all that and they wanted to avoid. I rather have a rabbit hole and a playable game than nothing at all or a game you can't really play as what is the point in that?

Seems like every criticism in this forum is getting attacked, I personally dont care it still looks good on the outside but maybe for those who always takes screenshot want to capture the moment when their sims are submerging and this breaks the immersion for sure.

I am just tired of the sims 3 fans complaining about single thing on here. It gotten old long ago and there are reasons why things are different.

Pretty doesn't necessary make a good game and if they can criticize, so can everyone else.

That does look awful, but if you don't use first person view it won't be that much of an issue, I think.

I'm tired of people splitting the fanbase by iteration. As far as I'm concerned TS3 fans are fans of this franchise just like TS4 fans are. Period.


Next in line..... I'm sorry to break it to everybody, but in TS3, if you do the same with the camera, you'll realize the water is also an FX layer. In the underwater lots you get the sense of being underwater because of the screen effects, blue fog, lighting, and the blue tint, nothing more. As a matter of fact you can't even go through the water in TS3 with the tab mode camera you need to go through the terrain in the shore and then make your way to the water. So.....it's not a TS4 only thing.

Literally the sims isn't meant to be played with a first person camera view.....and that goes for everything. That's why I personally don't use it and pretend it isn't there. Not to mention it makes me motion sick, and I'm sitting here in my chair just looking at a screen.

Regardless of TS3, I do wish they'd put a bit more effort into the water effects graphically, but it is TS4 after all. Seasons didn't even include the water effects on the roofs and umbrellas.

They make sure this game isn't demanding graphically to cater to lower end computers. Plus this EP was still made to fit the 32 bit computers.

I wish they had the active underwtater lots though.

I was here from the launch of the game. If you go back and look, 50% of the posts, it seems back then were people outright hating on the game because it wasn't Sims 3. It got old in 2014. Especially since it's basically the same arguments, still.

I thought the under water shots looked okay. I was more distracted by the decapitated sim on the Aqua Zip to be honest. :o

The happens even now. Sims "loose" their head in the first person view because otherwise you'd see the inside of the sim's head.
