Did you guys forget about pack refreshes?

It's been since Sept. 7th 2021 since a pack refresh.

Is this still on the table to be doing some refreshes of packs? Spa day additions were done very well, was anticipating various packs that needed rehauls much like Get to Work, Island Living, Wedding Stories and Dine Out. So a year and 6 months thus far since anything?

Hope it still is as a lot of packs could use a refresh with newer additions and tweaked features.

Island Living- Mermaids definitely could stand to be updated and have occult abilities tree like vampires and werewolves.
Island Events are pretty lack luster. Should be a culture skill much like Selvadorada. The area where two events happen are pretty empty with Sims usually eating, socializing and doing bon fire dances. Definitely need a bit more entertainment to it.
Adding a small boat where two sims can be on would be nice than a single one.

Get to work- I would like to see that for Aliens as well too. It'd be nice to see a occult ability tree for them too, seems like they are forgotten as they were one of the first occults to come in a pack. Update to the retail system, being able to ask sims if they want to work at their business as well. With the Detective career being able to issue tickets or reprimand sims outside of work (like being off duty) for fighting or being mean would be nice or even seeing an occasional officer walking around to do things like that. Doctor Career I'd like to be able to do things outside of work or being able to do house calls when sims call you since you can always be on duty and choose to do so or not. Better autonomy for sims sitting down in the waiting area to be waited on than hanging around near the desk. Maybe with the infant update sims can bring infants in for a check up and maybe also to do so for toddlers too?

Dine Out...well, we all know what it is with Dine Out. With the bugs that need to be addressed, but either way a sim being able to do more than host like being a waiter and cooking too. Being able to ask sims in person to work for you. Would like to see Lazy sims that are hired to come into work late or just slack a lot you know basing things on traits.

    If they aren't making money from it, we will not see it. Refreshes are just that, updates to packs customers have already purchased. I'm very surprised they did anything for Spa day.

    No, it's the opposite. The point of refreshes is to take packs that didn't sell very well in the first place and entice more people to buy them by adding features. Back in 2019, SimGuruLindsay released official rankings for how popular the different packs were, broken down by EP, GP and SP. Spa Day was the least popular game pack at the time, not counting Strangerville, which had just recently been released. Basically, the whole reason they picked Spa Day for a refresh is that they were hoping more people would buy it. It's possible that this attracted fewer new buyers than they had hoped, or maybe they just didn't plan on refreshing anything other than Spa Day in the first place.

    It's outdated now, but here's the link if you want to read anyway:

  • Get To Work needs a refresh!
    - Nursing career that doesn’t transition into a doctor career. As a nurse, I have no desire to ever become a doctor and verrrrrryyyy few doctors ever start as nurses. Out of the hundreds of doctors I’ve met, I know of 1.
    - the ability to freeze at a desired career level without performing poorly, being demoted or abandoning skill leveling (this should be base game actually). Some people are content in their roles.
    - Babysitter (in your home or at the kid’s house)

    Re-refresh spa day and give us a blender or juicer please.
