Is the Refresh thing still happening?

Well, we haven't gotten one since the Spa Day refresh, so I'm gonna say no... lol Just like how they decided gameplay kits would no longer happen.

My guess is it didn't make them $$$, so they scrapped the idea entirely... something EA would do.

agreed. but isn't the little kids camping kit a gameplay kit? I dunno.

Well it has objects in it that we already have in other packs with new swatches that has gameplay but the gurus don't consider this a gameplay kit cause it isn't new objects.

I see.

Some of my children sign up for scouts by themselves and I thought it would be nice to see them as townies in that world.

I've taken members of other households with me on vacation, so I think you can do that with the scouts. Make it a scouting weekend, instead of a shorter meetup. I don't know if it would require bringing a parent along, that might limit your numbers.

Yeah, I’m guessing if you have ‘Get Together’ you could do it by having a scout club, sending one of the scouts ( in the club ) and a parent on vacation and then starting a club meeting there. I have a place with 8 beds and activities in selvadorado to send scouts there, but I haven’t done it yet. I also have a scout facility above one of the karaoke bars in San Myshuno to have real meetings.

I like the refresh, was hoping for a few more, even if they were smaller than the Spa refresh. Maybe we got our hopes up too high, wishing for new worlds and careers etc, and a small thing would disappoints a lot simmers?

I don't recall when the Spa refresh did hit, but if it was in the early pandemic, perhaps this was easier to work with from home, than to work on brand new content.

They tend not to tease refreshes on the road map. Spa day wasnt hinted at in the roadmap. So we might get an announcement on September for all we know. Maybe next week?

It isn't off the table and they did introduce it as an entire concept, however it isn't a guarantee either. Long story short, no official comment.

It might have come down to a cost benefit analysis of how many additional units of Spa Day sold, and last I checked no one but EA/Maxis has those numbers.

This. Money talks and unfortunately we don't know the numbers on how Spa Day sold AFTER the refresh additions and whether the devs/ deemed it worth the investment or not.

Also, it's possible a lot of the resources have been spent in other places/updates instead. Neighborhood stories, pronoun/sexual orientation updates, etc. They may not be the same team who did the Spa Day refresh who worked on those updates but I imagine it's likely/possible.

Spa Day refresh was great, really hope we can get something similar again. But I don't know how realistic that would be.
