Sims can now drown while riding an Aqua Zip!

Hey, I was bored and decided to try it out with Makoa
I had him ride around for a night, but nothing happened while he was normally riding. So, since drowning only happens when energy level is low in the water, I had him go around more until his energy was in red

then I slowed it to normal speed and watched him zip around

Unfortunately guys, no new animation, he teleported off the aquazip and decided to drown in the water ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Marnetti was on the money ?

Don't let your tired sims play with the aquazip if you don't want them teleporting into the water to die, gang!

As for skills, I'm not sure if fitness would play a role in this since drowning is only related to energy level (from what I know, at least)--Makoa didn't gain any more fitness from riding the aquazip so I'm not sure if it makes an impact on it at all.

wow...ugh to the teleport. I wish they would have added an animation, well at least I got an answer to my question. Thank you @Cement for taking the time to do this :)

You're welcome! :)

I wish it would be due to the Aqua Zip malfunctioning. It slows down, stops and sinks, dragging the Sim with it as they try hopelessly to escape their watery grave.

It would have been better with an animation but I am happy that they added two new deaths :)

Well, my favorite Sims are not going to use aqua zips anymore.

So before you would click on your sim to get off the aquazip, and then they would drown if their needs was in the red...and now they patched it so they will automatically get off the aquazip...if their needs are in the red.

...was this really an issue for anyone?

lol @MaggieMarley

I can't believe this! Don't get me wrong, I too, am glad there is a little danger to it, I guess, but... to teleport to death? sounds weird, are we sure it's supposed to happen like this or may be bugged?

I assume they can fall off it and drown? I'm not sure I like this change but I can deal with it.

So a cowplant can't kill you unless it eats you twice, you can't get electrocuted unless it happens twice, you get warnings for elder exhaustion, but Sims who can all swim by default can die on an Aqua Zip? Does it require crashing it twice?

I am still trying to figure out the answer to that. I asked a guru to respond. Maybe someone can bring it up at the live stream tomorrow LOL

I didn't know it was a thing before.
