Pricing
If you want to buy a swimming pool in Sims Freeplay, you’ll first need to determine how much you’re willing to spend. The cost of a standard swimming pool is $2,500, and you’ll have to decide if you want a deep or shallow pool. Also, some companies will charge you a delivery fee if they have to bring the pool to your house. Once you know how much you want to spend, you can begin to look for options that fit your budget.
Styles
There are three different styles of pools you can buy in Sims Freeplay: traditional, modern, and saltwater. Each one has its perks but also its drawbacks. You’ll have to decide whether or not those are perks you want to have.
Traditional pools are most common and can be found just about anywhere. They’re the classic round-type pools with a tiled floor and may have a few sunnyside seating areas around the outside. Traditional pools come with a few built-in features such as waterfalls and lighting effects that add to the charm of this type of pool. Unfortunately, traditional pools are the least flexible of the three styles and can’t be configured to work with any piece of landscape art or sculpture you may have lying around the house.
Modern pools are also known as neurotic pools because they’re designed in the shape of a human brain. While this type of pool generally has more flexibility than traditional ones, it also has some quirks that can be difficult to work around. Like traditional pools, modern pools also have a square footage limit which means you can’t put them in small plots of land. Also, some companies who build these types of pools will charge you substantially more than the cost of a traditional pool because of the complexity of the design and the material used.
If you have the budget for it and don’t want to sacrifice on-site flexibility, then go for the saltwater pools. These are exactly what they sound like: saltwater pools. If you have a beach or a pier nearby, you’ll be able to indulge in some fresh water fun with family and friends.
The pros of saltwater pools are that they offer incredible flexibility as far as placements go and can be used in almost any setting. Their price is also considerably lower than that of the other two styles, making them the obvious choice if you’re looking for a new pool.
Size
Another thing to consider when buying a swimming pool is its size. Do you want a small pool for relaxation or do you want a bigger one so you can practice your strokes? There are pros and cons to both options. If you have a smaller plot of land, you may not have enough room to comfortably fit in the larger pool. On the other hand, if you have a larger plot of land, you may end up with empty space around it because the larger the pool, the more space it takes up.
You’ll also need to decide how deep you want the pool to be. The deeper the pool, the more flexible you’ll be able to have it when you want. The standard depth for a pool is six feet but you can go as deep as you like. When it comes to choosing an outdoor pool depth, it’s important to keep your local government in mind. Some areas regulate where you can place your pool to avoid drowning accidents and others don’t allow for any pooling above certain depths. Check with your local government to see what their water regulations are before making a purchase decision.
Features
Another thing to consider when buying a swimming pool is the features it comes with. Does the company you’re dealing with offer a spa with a pool? What type of lighting or music do you want played in the background while you’re relaxing? These are all important questions to ask yourself before making a decision.
Some companies include things like sound systems and spas in the price of their pools while others don’t. It’s always best to look for features that will make your time in the pool more enjoyable. If you have a specific type of music you want played in the background, you can ask the company to wire the speaker system directly to their network so you can listen to whatever you want while in the pool. The same goes for sound effects – some companies will play them for you while you’re relaxing in the pool while others don’t. Again, it’s important to ask yourself what you want out of a pool experience and then look for the features that will make it happen.
Now that you have all of this information, it’s time to make a choice. Do you want to buy a traditional pool and sacrifice on-site flexibility or go for a modern pool and give up some of its conveniences? Or do you want to buy a saltwater pool and save a couple of hundred dollars but will have to find an alternative location to enjoy your pools? Hopefully, this article will help you make the right choice and will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision. Remember, the right choice is the one that makes you happy!
