'''Ocean swimming''' is a feature that enables Sims to swim in the ocean or open seas, firstly introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' for ''[[The Sims 2]]''. It was later introduced to ''[[The Sims 3]]'' with [[The Sims 3/Patch 42|Patch 42]]. It returns once again in ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Snowy Escape]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Cottage Living]]''.
 
==The Sims 2: Bon Voyage==
Swimming in the ocean was first introduced in ''Bon Voyage''. In the [[Vacationing|vacation]] destination of [[Twikkii Island]], some lots are placed right on the shoreline, and Sims are able to swim in the ocean. Swimming in the ocean gives Sims a special positive [[Memories|memory]].
 
Creating a [[lot]] that allows Sims to swim in in the [[beach]] requires players to open the [[Lots and Houses bin]] from the neighborhood screen and select Speciality Lots. There is then the option to Create a Beach via the button in the top-left corner, next to the thumbnails of speciality lots.

Line 32:
The feature was introduced for ''The Sims 3'' with the announcement of ''Seasons''. A few months later, the developers had confirmed that it would be on Patch 42, just for the players without ''Seasons''.
 
Sims can swim in oceans near beaches and coastal areas at any time year-round. They can also swim in any body of water (e.g.: lake, river) that is not made in a [[lot]] via [[pond]] tool, (ei.ge. if the player places a lot in the body of water, Sims can actually swim in it) whether commercial or residential. They can swim under bridges too. It can be done on any [[neighborhoodworld]], including ''[[World Adventures]]'', store and custom neighborhoodsworld.
 
Sims are able to swim on a body of water even if it has unroutable paint laid down beneath the water. There's a different paint type that's used around the edges of the world to block the camera from going too far – Sims won't be able to swim beyond that point (or wherever that paint is laid down).
 
When swimming, Sims gain their [[Athletic (skill)|athletic]] skill but lose [[energy]] motive, which can cause fatigue. They cannot [[Drowning|drown]] or skinny dip. They can splash at one another, similar in a [[swimming pool]], and also relax in the ocean on a lounger.
 
InterestinglyStrangely, if a Sim has the "Has to Pee" or "Really Has to Pee" moodlet, the timer will freeze while interacting with the ocean (including skipping stones). As a result, a Sim cannot relieve their bladder in the ocean, unlike in a pool where the timer will keep going and the Sim will eventually pee themselves but not lose their hygiene need.
 
Sims can swim on oceans during the winter season and when swimming, they get a positive "Polar Bear Club" [[moodlet]].
 
[[Pet]]s cannot swim in any bodies of water but a [[swimming pool]].{{vgversion|TS3:P}}

[[The Sims 4/Patch 81|Patch 81]] introduced with ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living]]'' added the ability for Sims to enter random bodies of water across different worlds. Sims can get knee or even waist deep in water in certain neighborhoods including [[Bedrock Strait]] in [[Oasis Springs]], [[Sage Estates]] in [[Willow Creek]], the pond in [[Magnolia Promenade]], [[Windslar]] in [[Windenburg]], and [[Cavalier Cove]] in [[Brindleton Bay]].<ref>https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/961006/you-guys-sims-can-already-go-into-the-water-after-the-update</ref>
 
The patch that will be released alongside ''Cottage Living'' will allow for the construction of [[pond]]s Sims can wade in using [[terrain]] tools.
