No Sims were harmed during Removal of the Ladder

BlogpostPublished: Jun 22, 2009Views: 1119

My latest Sims 3 lot (a trashed-up horrible little play-park called Bless The Little Dears) has no ladder to the pool.  Before anyone starts pointing fingers, it was a totally deliberate act on my part.

Why?

Well, I just got sick of stupid Sims piling into the tiny (meant to be paddling) pool and ENJOYING THEMSELVES!  They were supposed to be having a beastly time.  So I took the ladder away.  I hasten to add that, unlike a small and unmentionable incident back in early Sims 2 days, I did this time wait until all Sims had climbed out of the pool before removing the ladder.  RIP poor 'Robert 'of Sims 2.  In memorium to a boy who'd just reached his teenage years; who in March 2005 drowned in an incident that could only be described as unmitigated cruelty...

Well, I couldn't resist.  I HAD to see what would happen if I took the ladder away.  I mean: I thought he'd just climb out!  Or something.  Stupid Robert.  RIP (Rest In Puddles).

 

EDIT: Midnight's right - stupid Sims can STILL go in the pool.  I want to find out how we can drain water out of pools.  Anyone up for making a hack?

Hmmmm not sure if this will work but what if you used the terrain cheat to make a 'pit' . Or maybe you can use some stairs to dip into the ground and then level out from there?  Maybe a basement off to the side of the house could be made to look like an empty pool ( I know you can still change the pool walls and floor) with the right grotty walls and derelict tiles you could easily make a drained pool!  Hope these ideas inspire and sorry to have been the bearer of bad news with your simmies still having fun!
