You have to be a certain level before you can build one (sorry, I forget which level it is).

Once there, you create a pool just like you create rooms (of a house); drag the area that you want (each of the dimensions must be a minimum of 3 squares, and you can't do it on the outer-most squares of the map).

If you're really desperate for a pool, you can buy one of the pre-made houses that comes with one.

And make sure you are in the outdoor area of the home store. It took me a while to learn my way around in there.

I have built a Swim Center and my weekly quest is to built or resize a swimmingpool. Does that mean that I can built one? :|

I've been there, but I don't have all of that options, just those three last ones. :| It seems that I'm not on the right level yet, altough it makes no sense. :cry: Thanks anyway :D

Guess, you haven't finished the quest "It's All Going Swimmingly", yet. That quest is unlocked at level 13 and unlocks the ability to build pools in your house lots.
There is a list of all quests at the SFP support site: https://firemonkeys.zendesk.com/hc/en-u ... /200827540

If you have finished the quest and still cannot build pools, you should submit a request, using the button at the bottom of the Firemonkeys site.

At level 13, do the Going Swimmingly quest. This will open the pool tabs in the Outdoor section of the Home Store.

Minimum pool size is 3x3. To use the pool you will need a set of stairs. To use for Diving hobby you will also need a diving board. If you don’t want to set a Sim to ocassionally cleaning the pool the Automatic Pool Cleaner is very useful. Sorry but I don’t remember how to get it. Everything else is optional.
