Swimming vs Train. | EA Forums

Right now, swimming is handled as train it doesn’t matter what. I agree that swimming ought to enhance Fitness, however I feel there needs to be a distinction between leisure swimming and train swimming.

In actual life, somebody will be extremely lazy and nonetheless take pleasure in spending time within the water. A Sim would possibly hate jogging, treadmills, or weightlifting, however nonetheless love swimming on the seashore or in a yard pool.

My suggestion is:

• Add a “Swim Around Lazily” and/or “Casual Swim” interplay.
• Keep “Swim Laps” because the extra fitness-focused exercise.
• Add Swimming as its personal Like/Dislike class.

We have already got separate Likes/Dislikes for actions reminiscent of Skiing, Snowboarding, Rock Climbing, and Wellness-related actions. Swimming feels distinct sufficient to warrant its personal class.

This would permit for extra persona selection. For instance:

• A Lazy Sim may take pleasure in informal swimming however dislikes train.
• An Active Sim may take pleasure in each informal swimming and swimming laps.
• A Sim may dislike Fitness basically however nonetheless take pleasure in spending time within the water.
• An energetic sim may dislike swimming for train and would somewhat be on the fitness center lifting weights.

It would additionally create extra practical methods for Sims to remain wholesome with out forcing each Fitness-related exercise into the identical class.

On high of that, including a “Casual Swim” interplay would give Sims extra persona and create extra storytelling alternatives. Some Sims would deal with the pool as a spot to chill out, socialize, and funky off, whereas others would use it as a part of their health routine. Having each choices would make Sims really feel extra distinctive and permit gamers to raised replicate totally different existence and personalities.
