Is the Refresh thing still happening?

Let’s be honest here. Every pack needs a refresh.

I hope they aren’t stopping them - I would be heartbroken if they didn’t do any more!

Right there with ya.

Honestly, they should refresh the less popular ones IMO. There's a reason they're not popular.

Dine Out desperately needs bug fixes and a refresh, IMO.

Dine Out needs bug fixes, not so much a refresh. Get to Work can use a refresh. It was one of the oldest packs for Sims 4 and they can add an active firefighter career, a separate police career from detectives and add burglars (unless they add them in base game).

Dine out needs both bug fixed and a refresh, there are so many missed opportunities with that pack:

• Family restaurants where family members work together
  
• Living on the same lot as your restaurant
  
• New themes for restaurants with lots of new decor and/or recipes (french bistro, indian, chinese, mexican)
  
• New tools for the kitchen (pizza oven, kebab grill, tandoori oven...)
  
• New romantic interactions (holding hands across a table, playing footsie, proposing by kneeling next to someone sitting at the table)
  
• New restaurant interactions (staff singing for birthday child, balloons on chairs for kids who have their birthdays, help with proposals through champagne glasses...)
  

Get to work also needs a refresh, and badly so, with additions to the retail part in particular. Things like setting up an NPC store directly from buildmode, adding more retail shelving and displays, adding things that can be set for sale immediately (repair parts, things for rock climbing, diving, skiing, snowboarding, flowers, seeds, fertilisers, groceries, medicine... basically anything you can buy through the computer). Browsing interactions, changing boots (that works as way to cas as well as whoohoo locations), a way to keep employees near their own cash register (so that they aren't suddenly in the bar or office above the store)... I could go on.

I love the dine out ideas. I hope the devs truly read this and consider them. Your gtw suggestions would be great too. I would like bug fixes and expansion on non rabbit hole careers. I hope that they add more cool active jobs.

I would really like it if they went through the base game -and- packs to update the clunky and often times blocky large furniture, update the textures to bring them up to the beautiful quality of their more recent packs. I know that is a lot of work though so I don't expect it to happen any time soon or at all, for that matter. It would be nice though.

Id love a spellcaster refresh that adds spells for to turn sims into frog sims, and zombie potions!

I hope they're still happening! I hate when they tease us with something like that and then don't do it anymore. Stop dangling carrots! Lol.

I truly hope more packs get refreshed, I thought the spa day refresh got a lot of positive feedback.
I see so much potential for Get To Work to have a refresh, I truly believe the developers see it to and can only hope its on their laundry list of things to do.

Yes, I hope for a GTW refresh too.

I have a sneaking suspicion that they're in the process of throwing new and different ideas at the wall to see what sticks. Community voting hasnt been a thing for awhile, Sims Spark was a thing for a little while but no ones really talking about it anymore, we had one refresh with hints of more but we have yet to have confirmed news of anything. Now there's probably extenuating circumstances and yeah these arent directly related to one another, but its not like we're told much of anything unless there's new content on the horizon. So we're just left to speculate. I personally feel that refreshes was just another idea to help keep the series fresh and relevant, but someone up top said "no this is turning out stupid, scrap it."

Since Sims 4 is going free to play, maybe there’s now a better chance of more refreshes. They’ll have to rely on DLC sales to get money from the free players, so they now have incentive to make DLC more appealing.
