Housing swimming pools?

Since the WoR will learn how not to drown in 4.0 how about swimming pools for housing plots? Granted small plots will probably be too small for anything but Kiddy/Lala pools but I imagine you can fit a respectable pool size in mediums and large.

I think all current water-feature items have to be designed so that the deepest section is still above the ground level so it doesn't clip through. I think any pool would need some kind of raised wall similar to the existing tubs which might make them look awkward, especially if they were somewhat large. Edit: A Lala pool is still a fun idea though : )

Garden Pond

Maybe SE can finally add a true barefoot option since they adding swimming.

Indeed, makes holding them under the water while remaining dry that much easier! :D

They'll have to figure out a way to do "cut out" housing items to do that, but it would be useful for a lot of other stuff as well if they figured it out (doors that aren't tied to particular partitions, archways, sand pits, etc).

Just add one big pool in each residential district. It's more entertaining with more people.

I'll take a hot spring for my small yard please, ok go

they kind of already exist. Mist has a beach, Lavender Beds has a river and Goblet has a pond area in the middle with it's own waterfall. They just have to tweak them so that swimming is enabled in them.

I want swim at magic bucket ponds

Why do I see this mentioned so often? What is it with bare feet, did I miss a meeting?

Honest answer from me, I wanna be in Lords shorts and a New year's helm and run barefoot through a dungeon like a loon.


Now back to topic. Just going to throw this out there, a new room addition (like the workshop), indoor pool.

Wait. We are going to be able to swing in the future expansion?

Yes. Swimming and diving will be coming to 4.0, but restricted to certain water bodies.

There won't be underwater combat, but there will be underwater gathering, locations of interest, and npcs. It looks to have its own emotes as well, like characters laying on their backs on the surface.

Eh, just give housing the option to include a pool via magic door like Workshops have or remodel a floor of said house to support it. Top floor pool with a glass bottom would be interesting.

A waterslide is a must square please

Pool housing item, with apartments getting community pools for everyone in it to share.

Perhaps, we could get an option in houses to purchase a room with a swimming pool in it. You know like you can buy the Company Workshop and Private Chambers? Could make for a nice addition and possibly allow phasing of rooms for new features. For apartments, perhaps we could get a communal swimming pool.

I swear to god we had the same idea for apartments. Our idea for housing differs though.

No more outdoor housing until they can provide a house for every player. Housing has been the worst implemented feature in this game. It needs redone from scratch.

We've relayed your requests to the dev. team!

We understand the desire to have housing amenities for these new and exciting features, so please continue to post your suggestions. We'll definitely be sure to take these and future responses into consideration. :)
