So cc creator brazenlotus made this tumblr post: https://brazenlotus.tumblr.com/post/185520074992/thank-you-ea-for-allowing-me-to-participate-in/ampEA made a special livestream for gcers that couldn't make it to ea play. They said that they are trying to make ocean swimming available in the other world bit it hasn't been implemented yet.There is also some cool info in this post so check it out!

Yay!! Do Del Sol a valley first and add lots to the beach area!! ??

Thank goodness. All of that stuff sounds great!

I really hope they get it working. This is great news.

It may take a while, but it is a hope to retroactively add it some day. For the moment it'll just be Sulani, but at least eh tech will be there.

Ooh, that's good to hear. The effort is appreciated :)

They're working on adding ocean swimming to other worlds

I so hope this is true. I don't think the other beaches could ever take away from the beauty of Sulani (and their pack profits) but it would really be a good thing to have.

Yeah, it's just like with TS3 Island Paradise. The previous patch that unlocked ocean swimming in the base game didn't diminish the value of the pack, because it offers so much more than that

Ocean swimming in TS3 was unlocked by the Seasons patch one year before IP. I wish they had repeated this in TS4.

Yep, the "previous" part refers to the Seasons patch (although I only knew because of the Sims Wiki; otherwise I would've assumed it came with the IP patch :D )

Better late than never, I guess

Wonderful. I’ve always wanted my sims to swim at Granite Falls! And the other places too.

Not as a priority, but I would also like to see swimming in the hidden lot, Sylvan Glades. There is not much to do there as it is and a mermaid would look awesome in those surroundings. You could have a mermaid living in Willow Creek who tries to keep her secret by only swimming in Sylvan Glades.

Please. I was going to buy it either way, whether or not it was possible to do ocean swimming in other worlds.

I care more about mermaids and the rest of the content within this island pack.

Exact quote from SimGuruJill....

“We talked a lot about it before. We are not closing the option of upgrading existing worlds, nor are we closing ourselves to adding ocean swimming in future worlds, but at this moment we had to focus on creating this option in The Sims 4 Island life – said SimGuruJill during the closed show.”

Oh. That sounds very different from We're working on it. They are just not ruling it out.
