Spa Day Is Really Fun!

The yoga mats are also a great way to keep lazy sims in shape. They don't throw a fit about doing yoga

Spa Day was my most favorite of my games up until I was finally able to purchase the other Gamepacks in 2018. For 4 years I wasn't allowed to purchase the Gamepacks because there was a Canadian band (red tape) to purchase Sims 4 gift cards & I didn't have an interact card to purchase online at the time.
My fave of Spa Day was the Wellness Skill that can eventually transport a sim from one location to another & they can float in mid air. Also, I loved the Massage Table, it could get a sim to give another sim the fertile for twins. So cool.

I agree that this is a great pack! I use the yoga mats and the special soaks in the bathtubs all the time. The socials discussing the wellness benefits give great moodlets, too.

I’ve been noticing a new bug with the massage chairs, though. My sim will wander over to it with nothing in their queue, and then they’ll be giving or receiving a massage from someone else on the lot. It’s annoying that there’s nothing in the queue to cancel until the massage begins.

@Rouenpucelle You've just inspired me to do a rethink on that third floor in my Global Superstar's mansion. Right now it's a small residence should he opt to hire a butler, but I could add a sauna and some workout equipment, a couple of massage tables, etc. Then he could just hire what he needs instead of risking the crowds. ;)

I'm glad I inspired you. Sounds like a good idea for Erik!

Spa Day is one of my favorite and most used packs. (Pay attention EA) I like this pack because I can use the activity items both in businesses and at home. Which is the second most important thing I look for in a pack, the only thing more important is Sim personality and operation.

Spa Day and Outdoor Retreat are really fun to use casually and I feel like despite loving occults I've already used those more than Realm of Magic

which is funny cause i just bought them both in 50% sale after making excuses to not buy them for years

I also really love making spas tbh cause it always felt kinda sad to make gym only or pool only or beach only and my rich elders finally have a nice place to waste some moneys and get fit without dying in between

I noticed that you can now use the soaks in the combo bath/shower tubs -- I was away from the game for several months due to bad eyes and when I started playing again, that was a nice surprise. I like the muscle relaxing soak for my athlete Sims because it helps reduce the recovery time from workouts if they're sore.

Spa Day is honestly a great pack for rich sims, I like to include a personal spa and sauna for my rich households and hire service sims to give them massages. The wellness skill is also a great alternative to fitness if your sim would rather not jog, or use the treadmill, or punching bag, or lift weights. Newer game packs offer a better value but Spa Day still has its uses. I also often like to replace all my gyms with Spa’s instead since a spa is basically a gym with more to do.

The one thing I would add to spa day is an aspiration. I wish they added another Athletic aspiration related to spa day.

I just found a mod for it, but I would rather it was a permanent part of the game: https://ilkavelle.wixsite.com/simsquest/post/perfectly-balanced-aspiration
