Thank you dear friends for your wonderful comments! I wanted to create something new to please you, I hope it worked out.

CatherineTCJD, уes, just build a pool, and put an overlay on top, then you can adjust the pool tiles so that they are not exposed from under overlays.

Absolutely going into my game, I am wondering though if like with the top of the heart perhaps you might be able to create modular pieces too. that way a pool could have multiple curves sections. regardless I will be using these.

Uh, this looks like from Sims 4. Are you sure it is safe to put in Sims 2? Nice heart by the way.

It's just decorative walls and a skirting board (not related to Sims 4), absolutely safe. It is not a functional object, but a decorative one, such as a simple carpet

I think this is impractical, the shapes are so different that by cutting them into separate pieces, nothing else can be folded, since the edges will not coincide in a different shape. It's easier to make many different general shapes. When creating, I try to reduce the number of polygons in the mesh as much as possible, and they do not have separate textures, so the shapes of the pools do not overload the game. Many of these forms can be uploaded. I didn't have enough imagination for a change, but feel free to share ideas. As I have free time, I will make even more interesting pool shapes.

That makes sense, they do look beautiful and fit my rich sims gardens nicely

These are beautiful! I can't wait to place them on my lots! Thank you for all your hard work!

I am wondering, though, if it would be possible to make a set of only stairs for regular-shaped pools, because after seeing these I really want to see pools with stairs universally in my game, it looks so good! Just a thought.

Hey, thanks for this! I love it! It's going to look great in my beach house my sims have just bought!

I have a couple of questions, first the invisible jacuzzi doesn't seem to work for me, unless I'm being really dumb. I've got the package file in my downloads section as normal, but the spa jacuzzi doesn't have a recolour, is this a different object that I'm just not seeing?

Also, some parts of my tiles are glowing like you mentioned in your post, not sure why that is or if I can fix this?

I checked everything and found the probable causes of the problem (already added to the download description):
1. To repaint game objects (slide, springboard, jacuzzi), you will probably need to install - "CEP" - Color Enable Package
2. In the game settings, set the shadows to "medium".
I also had problems with shadows and I used the fix from Nopke
