[NEEDS SAVES] Sim swims under ground

[simsplayer818]

I've had this recently in my last save game. I've lost it now as I had to wipe all my saves due to technical problems with crashing. I'm on Xbox Series S.

It's on the waterfront lots in Sulani where I've been affected. So just to describe what happens, the Sim doesn't climb the ocean ladder up to their house. Instead they keep swimming through the house and end up with their head in their floor and a water effect around them, as if the floor is liquid. They can't get out of the floor/deck and get their head stuck. So I exit and return to them to find them restored to a standing position.

I'd linked it with the bug thread "Sim walking through walls and objects (Patch 1.61)" because I've had a real problem with Sims ignoring walls.

I'm rebuilding my lost game right now and I'll add images if this continues in my new save. But I thought this might be useful info in fixing it. It seemed like my Sims were walking and swimming through anything as if there was nothing there.

Hope this helps.

Random event. Sims seem to get stuck swimming. They swim past the pool edge and swim all around the house. Will even swim upstairs. I notice it  more when the pool is built on a raised platform.

Sim will no longer get stuck in the ground and continue to Swim Laps if the pool is removed in the middle of it. Because physics. Now the Sim will reset. Because magic.

Fixed in Patch 1.107.112/1.92
