Swimming in other worlds ???

I tried looking to see if anyone has discussed this, but I haven’t seen anything. I have to ask are the bodies of water in other worlds being opened(i.e brindleton beach , etc )so we’re able to swim in it? Was there a statement said?

Players who tried the game won't know as one of the player posted the game only had the ep and base game in the pcs at I Play. They did say there were Devs there answering questions but whether or not that was answered or asked I guess we won't find out until tomorrow I believe it is when the embargo lifts.

I don't see what the point of swimming in other worlds would be. None of the worlds have beach lots that are really connected to water. The only world that technically has a beach is Brindleton Bay. Also, I don't understand how they could have swimming in other worlds when we don't even have an open world for sims to swim in. In the Sims 3, they had base game lots that were beaches, and also the world was completely open, so they basically had to make all water able to swim in. Ocean swimming will be a lot closer to the Sims 2 in Bon Voyage, which I think is fine.

You can go go down to the beach on Windenburg Island too, wish they would open that up to swimming and sand castle building.

There is a very, very beautiful island part in Brindleton Bay as well that is extremely pretty. In fact, because I prefer American towns/cities to exotic places, being able to swim and use aqua zips and such in a place similar to BB or even Windenburg would be awesome.

So far all we got is SimGuruJill saying "We are not closing the option of upgrade existing worlds, nor are we closing ourselves to adding ocean swimming in future worlds" so I'd say its a good time for anyone who wants ocean swimming in older or new worlds make themselves heard on Twitter because they sure don't look here.

They’ve used a similar line in the past, don’t take the bait they aren’t interested in making other water functional. From the wording it sounds like they aren’t even set on making future world water functional. We can be as loud as possible, they’re just slipping in a maybe to fool people while they don’t use that ‘feature’ anymore. Same for apartments.

I highly doubt it. As for anyone (official) saying so, I don't think they have said one way or the other.

I doubt it. I think the ocean gameplay is like apartment gameplay in CL, the main selling point of the pack. So, they won't share it to another pack.

There are multiple threads about this already in the EP section, and no: no swimming in other seas or oceans. They have stated that multiple times before.

hmm brindeton bay and windenburg (island) and magnolia park (upper lots where spencer-lewis family lives) all have some great ocean connected lots but i can see how on one hand how ocean swimming is alot more a thing in tropical places but its also going to make it really boring to play mermaids any other world than sulani.

id like a way to disguise pools better ingame to look more natural than placing 100 rocks around it :/ as a work around
