ALRIGHT LISTEN UP YOU GOOBERS TODAY Y’ALL ARE LEARNING HOW TO SWIM. WELL NOT YOU YOUR SIMS BUT ANYWAYS… WHY YOU ASK? WELL DON’T YOU SEE HOW HAPPY THIS SIM IS RIGHT UP THERE ^^^^^^^??? YEAH? WELL THAT’s BECAUSE SHE’S A SWIMMIN LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL SWIMMIN SIMMIE THAT SHE WAS’A MEANT TO BE.
disclaimer: your sims won’t actually swim unfortunately, all you can do is get them into the water and pose them from there. I suggest using this tutorial only for story telling purposes / creative screenshots. If you’re especially motivated you can make poses yourself! Enjoy!
NOW Y’ALL ARE GONNA OPEN UP YOUR GAME. WALK A SIM RIGHT ON OVER TO THE LOCAL HOLE OF WATER AND GET YOUR SIM RIGHT UP ON NEXT TO THAT COOL BLUE LIQUIDY GOODNESS. THAT’S RIGHT GET EM AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. MAKE SURE THEY ARE FACING THE WATER. FACING IT. FACING IT. FACING IT. IN CASE YOU DIDNT GET THAT THEY NEED TO BE .F.A.C.I.N.G. .I.T.
NOW PAUSE YOUR GAME
STEP TWO
Y’ALL ARE GONNA GO AHEAD AND CLICK ON YOUR SIM AND YOU WILL SEE TWO OPTIONS: POSE BY PACK AND POSE BY NAME. YOU BETTER DAMN WELL CLICK POSE BY NAME BECAUSE POSING BY A PACK WON’T GET YOU NO WHERE. SO YOU ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND POSE BY NAME AND YOU ARE GOING TO TYPE EXACTLY THIS

THIS IS ONE OF MANY WALKING ANIMATIONS IN THE GAME. THERE ARE A WHOLE BUNCH OF EM BUT THIS IS THE ONE I DECIDED TO COPY AND PASTE INTO THIS TUTORIAL SO USE IT AND DEAL WITH IT. unless ofc you want to use a different one for whatever reason in that case you can find a list of in game animations on the same site as the pose player mod.
STEP 3
UNPAUSE YOUR GAME. YOUR SIM WILL IMMEDIATELY START HEADING FOR THAT WATER WITH A LOOK OF DETERMINATION IN THEIR EYES THAT WILL MAKE YOU TEAR UP BECAUSE IT’S JUST THAT INSPIRING. YOUR SIM WILL BE SO INCREDIBLEY MOTIVATED TO GET INTO THAT GODDAMN WATER THAT ALL NEARBY SIMS WILL STOP AND STARE.
ANYWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PREPARED TO RE PAUSE YOUR GAME AND CANCEL THAT ANIMATION BECAUSE THOSE SIMS ARE SURPRISINGLY SPEEDY. CANCEL THE ANIMATION WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR SIMS HAVE GOTTEN FAR ENOUGH INTO THE WATER
STEP 4
POSE YOUR SIMS. BY USING EITHER IN GAME ANIMATIONS again which you can find on the same page as the pose player mod OR JUST POSE PACKS THAT YOUR FELLOW SIMMERS HAVE POSTED YOU CAN GO RIGHT AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR SIM DO WHATEVER YOU’D LIKE IN THE WATER
note: different parts of each world have different depths of water. Sometimes the water will lap against your sims’ ankles and other times will swallow your sim whole.
NOW GET OUT YOUR SIMS OUT INTO THAT WATER AND MAKE SURE THEY LOOK PRETTY WHILE DOIN IT and also tag me in screenies if you use this tutorial because I would love to seeeeee xoxo
