Spa Day refresh

I think it was the use of "relaxing refresh", probably relates to Spa Day the most.

I thought it would've been Outdoor Retreat or Dine Out. Spa day has nothing wrong with it that I've ever noticed. It does what it needs to, and has been a mainstay in my game. Vampires, Spa Day, Parenthood, and Jungle Adventure (save for making Selvadorada livable) are fine. Strangerville could use more cross-pack integration into the quest, Dine out needs fixing, and Outdoor Retreat definitely needs some gameplay and world updates.

Unless...and hear me out on this...they meant Outdoor Retreat, since it's a "relaxing" vacation getaway. If it really is Spa Day, I just can't even. The only things I'd welcome would be playable Yoga Instructor and Reflexologist careers, and maybe new traits, aspirations, and food/drinks.

It wood be great if they combined Spas with the Onsen functionality from Snowy Escape!!

But the GP that needs a refresh most is Dine Out which is really in scandal in permanence.

They could also add body hair and epilation to the Spa Centers (which was possible in the TS3 rabbit hole Spas).

Sounds like a very interesting idea. If it is indeed an update for spa day, it would be nice to have a new aspiration for the pack.

What I really hope is that it will not be limited to a few packs. I hope all packs get some attention, even if that would take quite a while.

Ok. I'm surprised that they started form the best made game pack in my opinion.

Finally someone who agrees! I genuinley think Spa Day has always been one of the best pack. It's apparently one of the least popular packs but to me it's one of the closest to actually being a "game pack" over a "super stuff pack" or a "mini EP".

Aside from an aspiration/trait I'm not sure what else *needs* to be added...

I'm not so sure it actually is Spa Day that gets the refresh. They might have taken the sim on the massage table to envision the word "refresh".
Also I don't think Spa Day needs a refresh, it is already a really good Gamepack and I'm getting so much use out of it.

Dine Out needs burning down to the ground and rebuilding.

Actually Dine Out works quite fine for me for the most part (but I do use mods).

I don't understand the need to fix Spa Day, a pack I quite like (if that is indeed the pack they are talking about). I never have had any real problems with it. The Wellness skill is awesome, and I give it to a number of my sims (depending on the personalities) because it comes with very powerful buffs. The massage tables and saunas work great, and even the yoga class, whether it is at a Spa lot or in a gym, has never glitched out on me (unless one of the mats was blocked).

Dine Out is the Gamepack that needs the most improvements and fixes. I still have never gotten over the fact that your sim can't be a Chef in their own restaurant, and that they can't share their high level cooking skills with or train other chefs. What a missed opportunity. I also agree that Outdoor Retreat could be improved in several key ways: I would love if the water in Granite Falls was swimmable, if there was a group hiking interaction that could happen there, and if the insects spawned not just in that vacation world but throughout all worlds.
