How to Make An Above Ground Pool in The Sims 4

Hey guys! Here is a quick tutorial on how to make an above ground pool in The Sims 4 💓

[@chynaowen6868]

It's saying "pool must have area" or "pool cannot be placed under platform." What am I doing wrong ??

[@Koibish]

I'm having the same problem! It looked so easy but alas :(

[@T_Ix]

Instead of selecting the white octagonal platform, scroll down and select the brown flat one for the foundation

@@T_Ix even when I do the floor thing it doesn’t work…. Is it just me ?

[@jjj9095]

Maybe the place anywhere cheat would help if you're not already using it

[@SavagelyTara]

See I did this and it said the pool needed an area and I did exactly what you said to do..

[@CaptainHieronymusLex]

Same!

[@ruska9831]

So simple yet so stunning!

[@KatGregory124]

Ahh! This is going to change my suburban homes forever, thank you!!

[@crystal6281]

Thank you so much! This is awesome.

[@mikaross4671]

So cute!! I love this.

[@16taysia]

Yay, thank you!! 🥰

[@sharliesteele3189]

This would raise my entire home so how would you do this without raising your house at the same time ?

[@MissSimReno]

It can’t be attached to the foundation of a home 💓

[@dayna2688]

That’s so clever and thank you for the easy to follow instructions.

[@ayameshirou]

Even with moveobjects code it still won’t let me place pools. Says conflicting block clusters

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

Neat!

[@cherryphobe]

You should also be able to do this by just placing a pool down & raising it up like you can with any room! Just an idea for people struggling in the comments lol.

[@shaleemichelle]

Do you play on pc or xbox?? Because there's no way that I can see to raise pools like rooms. I literally cannot place a pool or fountain on a platform, or anything except outside on the ground. Which is great until you have a creative idea and every tutorial is exactly the same for this issue (useless per the comments). 😅

[@cherryphobe]

@shaleemichelle723 I play on PC! I'd just raise it up like when adding the foundation - not like raising adding platforms (if that changes anything) I know Sims is riddled with glitches that seems to impact people somewhat individually. Like, for multiple patch updates half my glasses options are completely black lenses for no reason. So I'm sorry if this doesn't work for you T^T

[@_xMyux_]

It doesn't work on me

[@NotSoTypicalBeauty]

It’s not letting me change any of the siding or colour of the platforms. How do I fix this?

[@MissSimReno]

It’s the foundation, not a platform 💓

[@NotSoTypicalBeauty]

@@MissSimReno I figured it out after! I’m not sure where I got platform from, hahah. Thank you! :)

[@einflinkeswiesel2695]

The question is: Can I drown my Sims in there?

[@brandongrossman4800]

You can legit just place a pool and raise it up
