Free Hot-Tub?

Even if the hot tub is free, hot tubs have existed in the game already for five years.

I bought Perfect Patio full price when it came out. I consider I have gotten the value out of it by this far. I'm really happy that my sister got the hot tub for free and I'll be using the new one too. What I wonder though is how on earth are they going to sell Perfect Patio now? There's not much in it aside of the hot tub.

I am actually quite happy that people who don't yet have the pack can experience hot tubes. I love the roof design also. ???
Plus I never knew people brought packs to have "one" object. I thought most people wanted atleast almost everything the pack has. That's the case for me atleast.

I don't have PP so far. It's on my wishlist (not high up because other packs have stuff that I'm more interested in) but for other items I'll be spending my money on when I eventually buy it (high priority: the counters and grill). I definitely wouldn't buy a pack full price for one feature alone but that's me.

I agree. I've owned Perfect Patio for about 5 years now, and it's about time we get new hot tub variants.

My only problem is that the 20th anniversary hot tub was just a recycled mesh from PP, and it (plus the rest of the patch) wasn't really a big enough thing to mark as huge a milestone.

I have been placing the wooden ones around the island.

I haven't used hot tubs yet in any of my builds, so I'm technically more or less neutral. Getting the Hot tub didn't bother me, since that's not why I bought Perfect Patio stuff, but it still didn't wow me either - because I haven't needed a hot tub for my builds.

I got Perfect Patio (indirectly) because of the hot tubs, as it offered better gameplay than the alternative (luxury party, refused to touch MFP). If I had've known hot tubs would be patched to base game, I'd've got LP instead. I spend some time saving up to buy the packs I own, so I feel like I've wasted money.

I do feel for base-game only simmers though, and I would've been less annoyed if they'd given us an in-the-ground or curved hot tub. While there would still be no new game-play involved for Patio owners (so still disapointing), it would've at least offered us a new look, instead of a frankenmesh/remesh(?) of items we could've combined ingame using moo.

To be honest, I forgot the hot tub even came with a pack

I have had Perfect Patio for a long time and I mostly use the furniture (the bar and counters look great outside) and CAS items (especially the bathing suits) more than the hot tub. I don't mind at all that a hot tube of a different style was added for everyone to the BG.
