For Sims to actually use an above ground pool, you will need to add stairs.įoundation/Deck Pools – This type of setup requires a foundation under your home, only if you don’t use the above ground method mentioned above. This is done by drawing a wall outdoors, adding the adjacent pool shape, and then deleting the wall. You can also use any of the pool tools to build an above ground pool. In Ground/Above Ground/Rooftop Pools – Build pools directly into the ground outdoors or on any level of your home. You can also merge different pool shapes together, creating unique pool shapes. Regardless of what type of pool shape you create, you have the ability to move the pool around your lot as a whole. Tug, Pull, Merge, and Move – Pools in The Sims 4 are just like “Rooms” in the sense that you can use the “tug and pull” method to increase and decrease the size and shape of the pool. You can literally build a pool right in the middle of your bedroom if you’d like! Indoor/Outdoor Pools – Pools can be built indoors or outdoors.
