Occasionally, a lot may not have been given the pool lot assignment, while visibly having designated swimming areas nevertheless.

• Riverview, Moonlight Falls and Midnight Hollow only have indoor pools.
• The Riverside Pool in Roaring Heights might be a reference to the unreleased neighborhood of The Sims 2 called Riverside.
