Bakies The Sims 4 Custom Content: Natural Frozen Ponds (it's only 4:04 minutes long)

(Natural) Frozen Ponds
Some time ago when the Seasons expansion pack was just released, I watched the review by Lazy Game Reviews as I'm one of those people who really likes the way he's doing those.
Somewhere in that video he said the following: "Unfortunately you can not skate on the frozen over lakes and ponds and pools stay liquid no matter what.."
This immediately gave me an idea for one of my next mods and this mod is the outcome of that.

With these frozen ponds and some added plants, rocks, trees or whatever you would like to add, you can make very natural looking ponds for your Sims to ice skate on.
As for the ice rink settings that normally would be availabe on this object, I deleted all but one, which is the floor light setting.
Using this floor light can make your natural pond look quite magical at night when using certain brighter colors or just simply make it more visible when using a more normal white color.
These frozen ponds can also perfectly be used indoors for if you want to make an indoor ice skating hall or like in my video, some sort of disco ice skating hall.

To see multiple examples of how to use these frozen ponds and how to make them look more natural outside, click the video link above.
