Batuu Refresh?

The pack needs more than a refresh, it needs a total rework. If this pack got refreshed, there would be a riot.

The pack needs a decode for The Sims 4 and being replaced by a hobbies GP

My thought is: This pack should be forgotten forever.

They should refresh a meaningful and worthful pack. JtB is not meaningful. It literally doesn't bring anything (any meaningful gameplay) to majority of simmers.

Although I very much like the pack and also agree that some elements in JtB need a rework, I do not think it would be wise for the team to focus on this particular guy right now…

Unless Disney decided to be extremely generous, I believe that Maxis should use their current budget on other packs that are indeed more meaningful to the majority of players and in need of a refresh.

LOL. Thank you OP. I had a good laugh today.

A JtB refresh would be funny. :D

But on a serious note. No. This pack needs to be utterly forgotten about and never see the light of day.

I don't mind to have it in the list to be updated too. I really like this pack. I really enjoy it. Perhaps literally add the alien form as an occult?

The devs should get George Lucas's approval & bring Luke, Leia, Han & the Force powers. Just saying.

I honestly don’t think they would be allowed to do anything to that pack. I sincerely believe it was made as a contractual obligation to Disney. The whole thing just feels completely separate to the rest of the game. I like a lot of the BB and CAS, especially for historical saves, but the gameplay of that pack is completely separate from the rest of TS4. I think it was dictated by Disney as a promotional gimmick and I really doubt they would consent to any changes considering how ruthlessly and tightly they control their products.

I suspect the original poster was just spitballing ideas if there was an eventual refresh / update to the pack.
And I'd love to see every one of those suggestions, especially the force powers related stuff and make "Force User" an occult character, and a few others things such as factoring in the like and dislike system to elements of the pack.

As for all the people saying the pack should be deleted and people should be fired over it, really?? You really think someone should be fired over it because you (and others) didn't like it, @RifftraxRules? GET OVER YOURSELVES!!! Some of us have no interest in seeing werewolves in the game but wouldn't demand people get fired if they were put into the game. For that matter, some of us hate the way aliens and mermaids were implemented into the game but don't demand people get fired or packs be removed over it. Again... GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!

Some of us love the pack, especially the build items in it.
Is it my favorite game pack? No. And it never will be with some of the other options available.
However, I do love the pack. And when the topic came up in survey about packs back at the beginning of 2020, I remembering mention that something should be done with Star Wars (though had more of a stuff pack in mind when I mentioned it).
And I honestly would not mind seeing more destination theme packs, even ones that tie into licensed properties.

Journey to Batuu needs an entire overhaul, especially with the aliens. How about making them actual occults, make the game feel like you really are in the Star Wars Universe & not just decorative advertisement for cash.
