Okay - I created a really nice beach house with a swimmable lake. I followed 'The Swimmable Lake Illusion' by tkdjunkie - lower 3 clicks etc. My lake is swimmable - my problem is my Test Sim likes it so much when I tell her to get out, she climbs out the ladder and then politely turns around and climbs back in. Even if I click to get out and give her another instruction (like go to toilet), she climbs out, climbs back in - and then swims to the toilet, swims thro' the floors. I tried putting plants around the edges of the lake - but she swims right thro' them. I have even tried rebuilding the lot - hoping that it was a glitch, but no - the new lake behaves the same. What the heck am I doing wrong???

Please, my poor Test Sim is exhausted, she's actually fit enough to swim the English Channel now...

May ensure you've no hacks in you game that can interfere with the pool accesories.

Also, can you post a pic to show people what your lot is like? So, more ideas may come up.

May also check out the other 2 to see if any hint can be spotted out.

Check my tutorial eedgan for safe swimming , 3 clicks is not enough .It's somewhere in this section .

Thanks guys!!! I'm gonna try again...

If you have trouble finding it , i have edited my post with the link -)

Eureka!!! I got it! (the link) - Thank you Corvi - I recreated the lake and it works! My test sims says thank you!!! (And the cheque is in the mail)

IT is 5 click down, if your lake is near the road this snbluftreozz sim will escape by the sideway !

what happens if they swim into the road? ha ha ha...

Time for a new way to die: being run over while swimming... what colour might the ghosts have? :D

mwah...hah.ha...
Probably, build a pool ladder on a foundation to get out of the road "after" getting run over!

Muahahaha!
Or what? The ghost could scare drivers to death? A chain reaction is born! That's better than the cow plant: How to get rid of the neighborhood easily... welcome to Haunted Town!
