Will oceans be swimable in the vacation GP?
Since there's a strong evidence that the next GP is tropical vacation, then the main feature (swimming in the ocean) should be questioned.. https://i.imgur.com/rP0uvQQ.jpg We know from this pic th...

I really wish sims could swim in the ocean in Windenburg. Its so sad when my sims are at the beach on the island, and they can't go in the water
I doubt your sims care as they don't know of swimmable oceans or have a desire to go in them seeing the game does not have them and they are not programmed to want things they don't know of. Maybe you are sad your sim can't go into the ocean. LOL.
I really never got the big appeal for sims to have a swimmable ocean actually - as few of my sims ever do that in the past games - they seem to prefer pools. Even when I took my sims to the beaches in the other games all they did was build sandcastles unless I forced them to swim in the ocean. Same with the surfing thing I had in Sims 3 - unless I forced it - they did not do it. They did seem to enjoy all the water craft we had in IP on their own though - and some even seemed to enjoy deep sea diving - but swimming in the ocean - not so much. I'd be happy to get useable water craft though. I was disappointed we teleport with the boat in BB. That was just plain sad.
I don’t fully understand this post to be honest ;) Sims are pixels. Wanting, regretting, caring, this always is something that happens in the minds of players, supported by facial expressions/moodlets/behaviour/pop ups from our little people. That doesn’t make the experience less genuinely felt. So if a simmer cares and regrets a sim can’t swim, that’s as factual as if sims had real feelings. It’s the main principle of the game one could even say. The fact sims don’t do certain things autonomously, doesn’t mean they don’t matter either. Apart from the fact my sims travel all the way through Egypt to splash in the river if I let them. This was in fact autonomously:

Which is when I decided they also wanted to do this.

Isn't the game about that? Teamwork between simmer and sim? It had never occurred to me they could do that, but when they did it seemed like a very good idea (and it was, no crocs in the Nile that day fortunately :p ).
