Swimming lake fix?
rwills:
Once the glitch is initiated (that is, once the continuous swimming begins) it will continue until the behavior is deleted by deleting the Sim and exiting and then re-enteing the lot. Upstairs, downstairs -- that doesn't come into play and is irrelevant insofar as having any effect on the incorrect behavior once that behavior (the continuous swimming) has been initiated. The game is likely interpreting the level of some floor and of the lake as the same, so fails to end the swimming behavior expected and performed in the water (i.e., the game is confused enough by what it is internally processing to think the Sim is still subject to animations associated with a pool or lake environment regardless of where the Sim actually physically is, and to not cancel those animations in favor of non-swiming ones).
If you do a Google search on Sims2 swimming glitch you'll find this glitch crops up regularly. Near as I can determine from what you've written, if the lake is left as it is now and not rebuilt or redesigned, then the glitch will keep recurring after using the lake for swimming, as something about its positioning or slope or depth is enough to create the oddity.

Got it, thanks :). I deleted the lake yesterday, I didn't get a chance to check back here. It was relief not to have to delete the entire lot, though it was funny for a bit to watch them swim and hop up to the bed, table or sofa. Perhaps I placed it to close to the cottage foundation.
Thanks for the thorough explanation as it did clarify my understanding of the glitch & it may help someone else down the line.
