Default Can we create functional lakes with Super caw?
I recently discovered supercaw and have been venturing into its features. A specific one that caught my attention was the lake tool. Initially it was perfect for making the Sunset Valley waterfall, but when I logged in to try it out I found that my Sims could swim!

Only no. They walk in and complain that they can't go through with routing. I have softened the lake as much as possible and the problem persists. I noticed that unlike the oceans it doesn't have a pink layer when I go to terrain paintings. Which makes me think that maybe the game interprets it differently. But the question remains, is it possible to make swimming lakes?

Thank you!! <3

It is possible, as Twinbrook has one which is swimmable. But, I don't think the pond tool in SuperCAW will do it; developers already mentioned that they don't use this tool as it has problems, and I think water routing was probably one of them.

You could try using Sandrine's 707 tool from this thread:

The worlds I made had a river made with Sandrine's tool, but I didn't try making a swimmable lake so you'll have to test it and see!

Also try changing the terrain slope beneath that lake you made, maybe it's something as simple as too steep for sim to route?
