Learn how to delete pools in The Sims using Ctrl + click-drag. Includes tips on pool placement and ladder requirements.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Select the water button to access pool tiles.
  2. 2
    You will get a set of 3x3 tiles. Eight are cheap, outdoor tiles that can be deleted or replaced, and the one in the middle is the pool itself.
  3. 3
    Spread the tiles to widen the water area, with the rest of the tile still surrounding them.
  4. 4
    Warning: To delete a pool, hold the Ctrl key and click-drag over the pool tiles.
Tips
  • A pool ladder is required by the edge of the pool for Sim access.
  • A diving board is optional but recommended as there is nothing else to add to the pool.
  • You can have an indoor swimming pool, but they cannot be built on the second story.
