Toddlers can swim (play) in the ocean!

Honestly, the reused kiddie pool animations don't bother me. But what confuses me is that there's no adult there with them, yet it's mandatory to have an adult with them in the kiddie pool. That just seems backwards :/

I wonder if an adult will carry them to a spot in the ocean and place them down there as if they were having a bath :D

Yes, I agree!

LOL are we celebrating the most basic things in the packs now? Shouldn't it be expected that toddlers would be able to swim in the ocean? The scary thing is that if they hadn't already made the animation, we most likely wouldn't get it - and they just copied the bath animation - at least change the toy ffs. Absolutely the most lazy thing I've ever seen. LMAO
The floaties are very cute though.

Isn’t that the toddler pool animation anyways? Do you really care they are reusing it? I think it’s nice they added toddlers being able to go in the water and I don’t think I would want the responsibility of teaching them to swim. There is way to much going on in my sims houses to add another thing to teach them.

It's not that I care that much, it's just an observation of how incredibly lazy it is. They could have cloned the animation and just changed the toy - it would have taken them, what, 5 minutes? They were already adding the floaters to the animation, so why not a new toy? I'm not asking much of them here, just that they change the damn toy. LOL

the rubber ducky kills the fun for some of us. would've it been better to replace the duck with a seashell.

This is adorable! I'm guessing they left the ducky in the animation on purpose. Notice the ducky pics on the water wings? Maybe changing the ducky out for another toy would've taken too much time away from another new animation they wanted to add? I don't know... It would've been fun to have a shark, dolphin, shell, etc. instead, but it doesn't bother me in the least.

Also, I don't think an adult placed that toddler there, he has a plumbbob. I'm guessing the toddler walked out into the ocean to play all by himself, maybe? *shrugs* I'm also positive there's an adult there with him anyway, just off to the side out of the picture. Since it's from a SimGuru, it's probably staged so they could show that Toddlers can indeed go in the ocean to play. Anyway, however he got there, I'm just glad he IS there! :) The more I see about this pack, the more I want it! *grabby hands* <3

I agree. I don't mind the animation since babies don't really swim anyways; it's the rubber duck that bothers me as it sticks out way too much. A shell or something would make much more sense.

That is adorable but I believe it's a reused animation....
