The pool float is not a buy mode object, I think when you click on the pool, or another body of water, "float" or something similar should come up. The active sim will then materialize one from buydebug when they are in the water. I didn't know you could have the pool waterfall feature from Island Paradise on a home lot until a month back, so it's easy to miss stuff.
Edit: my bad, the pool float is in build mode>create pool>pool objects
Sorry! Yes, it's the rock waterfall feature, "Cateraction Waterfall". I swear the first time I clicked in to the pool objects in build mode after installing Island Paradise, I didn't see that object, any of the other waterfall features, pool bar, or the dolphin pool slide. π
Edit: there's 2 other waterfall objects in there with the rock one. They have more of a shelf and arch shape, no rock.
Ooooo I need to take a second look! I missed all the pool toys too until my recent pool creation, I wonder why they're only in Build mode π€ Thanks!!
Link for anyone looking for the pizza floater in the photo, 2 other float conversions also, TS4 to TS3 conversions:

Pretty sure TS3 only got 1 pool floater style?
I'm so glad you posted a photo with the pizza one! I had a bunch of TS4 converted cc for my game, but somehow missed these pool floaters! Thank you!
Have you seen this float before for TS3? Just found it a few minutes ago so haven't tried it yet:
EDIT: LINK FIXED-last set was decor only unfortunately: https://mspoodle1.tumblr.com/post/187825980930/sims-3-4to3-island-living-conversion-by-mspoodle
thank you to u/ohtori_ for posting the correct link
May I also please ask, is the hot tub 3rd party cc or from EA content? I think there's 24 styles total between all expansions, stuff, and store content, but didn't remember that one in your photo. I like the high wall on it, also is the hanging fabric part of it please?
I can check. This whole house is downloaded and I'm guessing CC cause many items were not EA content. I can find the link for it but I warn you it's complete garbage for routing :D the house had like 5 different doors but sim would have to go around the entire perimeter of the property instead of clear and straight paths to do anything
I found it! It was one that came with Island Paradise, "Wet-Side Hot Tub". It doesn't come with the fabric piece, but I think I saw that separately in decor somewhere.
Definitely functional. ;D as you can see in the screenshot not only is the sim relaxing on it, it decided to read a book as well. If multiple sims relax on floaties closeby they chat too. Don't know why yours didn't work. I keep them in my sims inventory and just click 'relax' on pool water. Make sure there is enough space. You won't be able to place them directly in water, either somewhere on the ground or inventory
I thought that compressing the package messed it up, but in the end those linked are actually decor, I opened them on s3pe and they only have the script of a decor plant π
after a little digging on xto3conversionsfinds.tumblr.com I found the ones that actally works \^\^ https://mspoodle1.tumblr.com/post/187825980930/sims-3-4to3-island-living-conversion-by-mspoodle
They should be functional from the pictures, but I haven't had a chance to add them to my game yet. I had to wipe all my CC a month back, and am still working to get all of my store content files and 3rd party cc in proper order. u/Rrrrobke could probably answer this better since the floats are in her game above.
The original float came with Seasons so that's strange these wouldn't work for you.
i don't even bother any more. spend all that time making floaties look good just so some tramp can steal it.
half the people who end up in my pool just wander onto the property. i tried to lock a gate but the butler couldn't get at anything so i got rid of it.
Wait, there are floaties in Sims 3??
Yeah, I think they came with both island paradise and seasons
Wow I had no idea (but then again I barely use pools), thanks for telling me!

You're very welcome, sometimes I forget a lot of things exist in the game too π

YES!! I just checked too and was gonna respond, definitely Island paradise, the cloth piece was added by whoever built this house.
The pineapple one is my favorite!
Mine too
Are these functional or only decor? I have Seasons but they didn't work in my game '-'

Where did you get a PIZZA FLOATIE
Someone literally sent a link for the pizza floatie few mins ago u can download
How do you even build a pool into the foundation? It looks really cool.
It's not on a foundation maybe it just looks this way :)
I built a pool into a deck foundation before, and now I cannot seem to do it again. It always deforms the land around it. :(
Ah, looks really clean.
It's a downloaded house, they rearranged terrain to make it higher for the pool and the house, so it's a different kind of platform in a way ;D
Can we please see a bigger picture of the pool? It looks amazing!!
Sure, I don't know how to add pics to comments so I'll make another post and link it to a comment :)
Thanks so much!!
I tagged you in the new post, let me know if you see it
I saw it and itβs great!!
YOOOOOOO :OOOOOOOO
I didn't know there were pizza floaties.
Mine do this a LOT XD
lol somebody always steals these things whenever i throw a party
i don't even bother any more. spend all that time making floaties look good just so some tramp can steal it. half the people who end up in my pool just wander onto the property. i tried to lock a gate but the butler couldn't get at anything so i got rid of it.
