The Sims 1 had swimming pools, pool tables, and a basketball court, right in the base game. Pool tables didn't come in The Sims 2 and 3 until University, FreeTime, Apartment Life, and Showtime. Basketball courts didn't come in The Sims 2 until FreeTime, and The Sims 3 Store. But now swimming pools are gone from the base game? EA, you're going too far with this nonsensical downgrading.
