Snowstorms lure Sims to the pool?
ZiggyDoodle:
Was playing a private Uni dorm last night and it began to snow heavily. Each of the three students who had to go to class left the dorm then jumped into the pool before continuing on to class.
While they are in the pool, only the "at class" icon appears. They pop in, swim to the nearest ladder, climb out, and proceed to class. In their bathing suits.
The two who had class at the same time returned and proceeded to play in the snow. After finishing a snowman, snow angel, and a snowball fight, their body temp was only slightly blue. No autonomous clothing change upon entering the dorm.
I've had the same issues with a couple of Servos in Pleasantview. While the Sims are none worse for the wear, wet Servos are something else.
There's either some mighty strong pool advertising going on during snowstorms, or I have very odd Sims. Anyone else see this behavior?
Hook:
I had a Servo jump into the pool during heavy snow. Not a good idea.
However, the pools are body temperature the year 'round. They'll cool down a Sim in the Summer and warm him up in the Winter. This may be why the Sims are jumping in the pool with snow on the ground: they're cold. Now, what this has to do with Servos is beyond me. :D Maybe the pool advertises heavily during temperature extremes.

wEll apparently an outside bathtub (dog washing) will do the same thing. They cant wait to get into that piece of crap. snowing heavily..strip down nekkid and jump right in.. Its soooooooo stupid. I hate it. Im like get the hell out of there retard.. youre going to be a popsicle.
ZiggyDoodle:
The oddity is that they go into the pool regardless of body temp and there is no icon showing they are in the pool, as there would be under other cirumstances.
Plan to keep better watch as I've never seen how they get into the pool (jump, dive, slide?); just that they're in it.
BTW, my MATY access has been really doggy since last night. Snowstorm in Malaysia perhaps?
purplehaze:
This reminds me of the short story by John Cheever (if memory serves me right) about a man who swam everywhere he went. I can't remember the name of the story...it's been decades since I read it.
On topic: Swimming pools normalize temp, so maybe they were trying to warm up a bit? Or is there something blocking their route and they 'walk/swim' through the pool to get to the portal?
