I am so happy I found this tutorial and I am glad you took your time and did it slow so that I could see exactly what needed to be done. I was so sick of making the same old boring square pools. Thanks so much you have no idea how frustrated I was getting LOL. Thumbs up!
Thank you for added how to rotate the pieces! That was my only problem with this tool and i looked through like 6 videoes before someone noted how to rotate! You saved me a big headache!
I dunno what the negative comment was but I just followed your tutorial and it worked just fine for me. I had to use smaller sizes for the curves but it basically looks the same. It's not hard to do, pause at key points, go to your game and replicate, go back to video, repeat. Great tutorial! Thanks for posting!
@zoeyzuko You're so welcome! I know what you mean... I came on here a couple of days ago and couldn't find one that really helped me. But once I started messing with mine I figured it out and decided I would post a video of it to help others. It is a tricky tool to use! I'm glad it helped you! :)
Thanx soooo much! I just couldn't get the hang of using the curved pool tool! I was so sick of only doing rounded rectangles! Thank you for posting this video. I finally have an interesting pool! YAY!!!
@Amantiaklea when you open up the sims3 it will say: there is an update on this game would you like to update? then there will be 2 options. click the "yes" button
I know that these curved pools came on the moment that fountains game in the game. So it was in a later edition but I don't know witch one. You might could find the answer on the sims website. They give information about each expansion pack.
@Akanishi13 Because of the grass glitch, if you put the curved pool on grass, the grass will stay like some kind of floor, that doesn´t happen if you built the pool on floor
I think everybody can agree that having no instructions in The Sims 3 for this tool is an epic fail of EA games. I was trying all sorts of different things just to get the darn thing turned! Thanks Cheyenne2772!
@FluturasNuMaiAiAripi you dont need an expansion pack just go to build mode and there you have create a pool then you go you curved pool and you can put the sliders all to the far right then you can buiold it in a circle thats what i did for my circular pool
@zoeyzuko i know. for the lights and the pool ladder you have to place them on a squared edge. it's really weird but i can understand why... it takes away from the curved effect.
It IS in the Sims 3. Just go Build>Create Pool> Create Pool> And for the first tool shown on the video, click the Create Concave Pool. For the second tool click the Create Convex Pool.. If you still need help, message me.(:
@AchievementsRock OH THAT HPPENED TO ME . THE REASPON THAT THERES THE THE GRASS OVER IT IS BECAUSE U PUT TERRAIN GRASS THERE SO SOMEHOW U NEED TO DELETE THE TERRAIN GRASS U PUT THERE .
Thank you so freaking much, I feel dumb spending almost a half hour just trying to figure out how to work with these tools and create the cool curve pools -_- I even tried looking in their lessons section but nothing...stupid EA. But now I get it now so thanks =) I was speculating whether the square tools had to be used or not along with the conclave and curve~
Ok so I must be missing the point, like turning the shape is what is needed to be understood. All I got from this video is this person is able to do it. How do you turn the shape???
@FluturasNuMaiAiAripi This came with Late Night, but according to other people you get it in an update. Check and make sure that your game is up to date. I think it also comes with the fountain. Let me know if this helps! :)
i have a question,i just damn did it in just about 7 minutes ago and i freakn forgot all about it!how do you switch the sides,like you know the little corners of the fountain to put in,i did it to change the sides,but i forgot,what buttons do i use to switch sides?
@AchievementsRock Sounds more like your using a cheat like the terrain one. Somthing is conflicting there. Try deleting everything. then remove cheats if your using any and then place it again.
help! I adopted a kitten over the phone, but it has never arrived. The adoption/sell is grayed out. Can't edit the town while the kitten is still in progress but its been two game weeks!!

You get curved pools from the late night expansion pack. You also are able to put pools on any house level and you get basements. Hope this helped!
They make it seem so hard but it's really incredibly simple! Thank you so much!

This helps a lot! I was struggling so much last night trying to create a curve pool! Thank you!
This tutorial has helped me tremendously thank you so much for creating this and sharing it with everyone.
Thank you, I had no idea how to rotate it. So I've just been building square pools for SOOO LONG! Thanks!
I wish you could make different deepness in pools. So you can have a shallow kid's side, a hot tub, etc.
omg you are the nicest person ever to put this on youtube :) Thank you so much !!!
I can't believe rotating it was that simple and I never knew how! Thank you!

@KittySayWhatOMG actually, you dont need late night. i have only the base game, and i have this feature. it was an update.:)
@Siti307
Actually you will be able to use the curved pool tool in basic sims 3, but you will have to download the latest update.
@rianna1001 I had that same problem, what you have to do is place floor tiles on the grass before you make the pool.
@FluturasNuMaiAiAripi you dont need an expansion pack just go to build mode and there you have create a pool then you go you curved pool and you can put the sliders all to the far right then you can buiold it in a circle thats what i did for my circular pool
thank you!! been trying for months to figure out how to do a curved pool!
it looks really cool and i had really hard time at first making one and i finally did it right all thanks to you :D
After a few try's I finally got it, thanks 😊
@AchievementsRock You have to have a type of flooring like tile around the pool. IDK why
@zoeyzuko i know. for the lights and the pool ladder you have to place them on a squared edge. it's really weird but i can understand why... it takes away from the curved effect.
@AchievementsRock I had it on my old computer, it's because you have integrated graphic card or it's memory is 128 mb
There are two keys on your keyboard that are between the "M" key and the "?" key. They are arrows just hit them when you want to rotate.
I've always wondered how to incorporate the two kinds and now i know, Thanks!
i updated my sims 3 generations and high end loft stuff.But i didnt have late night.but i have the curved pool,fountain and basement.
I cant turn the curved parts???!!!
Dealing with the same issue
Use the < and > buttons on your keyboard
@@RyanBurnsRed that just moves the screen?
I just saw on another comment to use comma and period on the keyboard it works
@@esmeraldatrinidad6163 those are the same keys I was talking about. You were you using the directional arrow keys. Sorry I wasn't more clear
It IS in the Sims 3. Just go Build>Create Pool> Create Pool> And for the first tool shown on the video, click the Create Concave Pool. For the second tool click the Create Convex Pool.. If you still need help, message me.(:

@TheCezara933 you rotate the pieces by pressing the . and , (period and comma) keys.
@vici30 You delete the Curved Pool Parts by pressing the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and clicking on the curved part of the pool.
i have been dying to know how to make these pools...those tools confused me! thanks so much!
@alecdepalect im not bugging you or anything im not trying too just press comma or the period button to rotate
Ok so I must be missing the point, like turning the shape is what is needed to be understood. All I got from this video is this person is able to do it. How do you turn the shape???
im here thinking the same thing
With "." and ","
Thanks a million for posting this video.
Thanks I couldn't figure out what to do after I put the curves that I wanted in. :)
In build a pool tool, there is a curved pool tool under the create a pool tool.

@FluturasNuMaiAiAripi yep, an update gave me curved pool tool, fountain tool and basement tool, also other stuff like half walls

@FluturasNuMaiAiAripi This came with Late Night, but according to other people you get it in an update. Check and make sure that your game is up to date. I think it also comes with the fountain. Let me know if this helps! :)
Thanks so much, I was confused on what you fif with curved edges :)

Thank you! I could not figure out for the life of me how to work the curved pieces.
@cheyenne2772 use the period and comma keys.
I always make fish-shape pools. three of the 1/4 spapes bigger then the last one.
@crazyweathergirl i figured it out it was because i didn't have the tiles on the ground before i put the pool in thanks anyways

@crazyweathergirl Actually this also comes with generations.
@AchievementsRock
Sounds more like your using a cheat like the terrain one. Somthing is conflicting there. Try deleting everything. then remove cheats if your using any and then place it again.
Thanks fam, you the real MVP :')
@DerrarS It's called accuracy and precision. I'm sorry it couldn't meet your standards. I was only trying to help.
-_-
Is there a way I can make the whole pool diagonal? Cuz rn it's just either horizontal or vertical
this is a very dumb questions, but how did you the tools to rotate?
Rotate it by pressing , OR .
I don't understand why they use these buttons,
but that's how you turn it ;3

@Dakota S. Thanks lol I didn't know that I was looking all over the place to find out
This was very helpful. Thank you!
how can I rotate the corner-pool-thing (do you understand)
so you must have late night to do this? And you can't do this in the basic sims 3? :S

@sueannwashere not even,you dont press the aroow keys to rotate i tried that and it wont work,it just moves the damn camer around :(
