Snowstorms lure Sims to the pool?
Zazazu:
MATY access has been fine, it's just been slower than <insert cliche here> and has been causing lots of time outs for me.
As for the snow-pool conundrum, my suspicion is that it's part of the major route-finding issues sims are having in Seasons. (aka, not being able to walk around the corner of a house even though a path 3 squares wide is open). I had one particular home that had an admittedly small back yard (1x2 lot). The pool was in the back, with a 2 deep path all around it and also wrapping around the sides of the home between the fence and the house. Basically, the path was a big letter A, with the rectangular pool being the dead space up top and the home underneath the butt. Sims still chose to dive into the pool, swim to the ladder, and climb out to go to the tail end of the A-shaped yard to make a snowman. And proceeded to become icies. If I did a "Go Here" sequence to get them to the same spot, they proceeded normally.

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?
Nope. They were in the house and were warm and dry. They changed to winter clothing as they exited, then changed to swimsuits and went swimming, then went to class.
They go class and avoid the pool when it is not snowing, so it isn't a portal issue. Related to the heavy snow somehow. Not even annoying, just ditzy.

I've noticed odd tracking during deep snow at one of my dorms that has a 6-square wide porch, with steps the whole way across. Passers-by, instead of just walking on the sidewalk, will walk up the stairs on one end of the porch, traverse the length of the porch, and then walk down the stairs on the other side. Only during deep snow. I've also noticed that residents will not use the middle 4 squares of stairs during deep snow. They will go to one end of the porch or the other and only use the outer-most stairs.

Does this happen even with the pool hack, which disallows autorouting to sims that aren't appropriately dressed for swimming?
ZiggyDoodle:
Don't have the pool hack. Will check it out and try tonight.
Still think there is some sort of association with heavy snow and swimming since they don't exhibit this behavior in other weather conditions.
I also question the lack of a pool icon while they are in the pool. They are aware of what they are doing every other Sim moment. Why not then? They think they are in class.
A bit of phys ed before physics?
