No swimming pool in the vanilla game?
Exactly what is the "vanilla game" part of The Sims 4 supposed to mean? I never thought the statement was false but what exactly does it mean? --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 05:44, September 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * It means the base game, but I was right to think that the fact needed clarification. My removing the fact from the trivia was caused by confusion, not disbelieve. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 06:03, September 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * "Vanilla" is a very common term that not many would be confused by. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 06:06, September 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * It is? Well I've only ever heard of the base game being referred to as simply the base game. It's probably just my one cent of not hearing the term until now. :| --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 06:22, September 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, now I get it. Vanilla simply means plain (in this case the base), like plain ice cream. :) --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 06:24, September 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * A Google search on "Vanilla game" brings Vanilla software up as the first result:


 * "Computer software, and sometimes also other computing-related systems like computer hardware or algorithms, is called Vanilla when not customized from its original form, meaning that it is used without any customizations or updates applied to it.[1] Vanilla software can become a widespread de facto industry standard, widely used by businesses and individuals."

Curved pools in The Sims 2
So there seems to be some confusion here. Some are saying that curved pool edges were introduced to The Sims 2 with the Seasons expansion pack. Some are saying that they came in a patch, although it is not clear which. [//sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Swimming_pool&diff=prev&oldid=739619 This] edit says that it is possible to get curved pool edges without Seasons provided a patch is installed, although it is not revealed which. AFAIK it is not possible to install an expansion pack patch without the expansion pack itself (e.g. it is not possible to install the Nightlife patch without Nightlife, or the FreeTime patch without FreeTime). The other possibility is that the curved pool edges were initially introduced in Seasons, and were also introduced with a later expansion pack. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 12:04, June 24, 2016 (UTC)
