Normal Swimming

The normal swimming animation has made a come back with IL, though non of my sims are using it. They are still doing their little "doggie" paddle. I could have sworn I read or heard some place that if sims were level 5 fitness or higher, that they would swim normally? Or does that option only unlock if your sim is a lifeguard like in Sims 3?

If that is the issue, has anyone released a mod that allows sims to swim normally?

    I'm starting to lean towards it must be a mod for me. I guess I'm going to take them all out and fire up the game, and see if my high fitness sims can swim with the new animation.

    Hm... seems to vary? I only have one Sim at level 4 fitness at the moment (maybe level 5) and they do freestyle. I am curious, too, about pools.

    Well I'm not sure what's causing my sims not to swim. Took out all of my mods, cleaned my cache, started a vanilla game and still the same thing. Thanks for all of the help guys!

    @Beardedgeek, okay. No biggie. *shrugs*

    the further out in the ocean they go, the more the swim style changes. shallow water= wading, next level water= doggie paddle, next level water= breast stroke, and deep water & distance swimming= Freestyle. the higher fitness skill you have the more of these styles are available, including speed.


    Yeah I think you need both fairly deep water and high fitness for "crawl".
