Break out the swimsuits – it’s time to build and play in new ways with pools! Get a first look at pools in this new trailer for The Sims 4. Pools are back! One of the biggest missing features of The Sims 4 was the ability to make pools, mainly because putting your Sim in the pool, then removing all the ladders and/or building walls around the outside was the easiest way to do in a plaything you’d grown weary of.
In honor of these watery deathtraps returning, EA released a new pool-related trailer, and for the first half of it it seems like they’re going to shy away from the morbid stuff. The Sims are having nothing but fun with their new pools! Ah, but then EA says screw it, walls up a pool and drowns half-a-dozen Sims at once, all set to peppy music! Then the ghosts of the Sims that died join the pool party. It’s…kind of weird.
