Spa Day refresh

I think the best changes they could make for Outdoor Retreat would be making the plants an all season thing so you can do the aspiration without waiting for Summer and adding some TS3 style collection helper for the insects because they’re really hard to find.

I actually hope it's Realm of Magic. I could do with better lore for the Magic Realm (make it livable?), make Glimmerbrook bigger (I'd be fine with the size of Strangerville), and let kids do minor magic.

Whacky theory:

What if this tweet that Ninja posted right after the stream is referring to Juice Cleanses or something like that. Or juist 'clean' eating in general. They mentioned that kind of gameplay in a survey once for the community Stuff Pack, if I remember correctly. They could add blenders and juice recipes to go with the rest of Spa Day.

It probably means nothing though..

Personally, I was hoping the Sims team would revisit either RoM or Jungle Adventure. RoM is pretty, but I find the endless grinding of spellcasting to level up to be boring, and the skill tree doesn't make each spellcaster as unique as the vampire skill tree does. Jungle Adventure has almost nothing to do in it. It's a new world that's pretty, but there aren't any puzzles to solve or missions to undertake in its leafy depths. It's a far cry from Sims 3 - World Adventures.

I like Spa Day as is. That said, I know there was a survey awhile back about community-voted stuff packs, and one of the options was about fitness and nutrition. Maybe some of that would make its way into a revamped Spa Day gp? That might be cool.

I guess they could revisit the idea of plant-based milk, adding almonds and/or other harvestables, which was also part of that survey, and was definitely a hot topic of discussion recently because of the way CoL handled plant milk.

Aside from that, I dearly love Spa Day, and hope any changes to it would be simple additions and not mess too much with a good thing.

They could add a little dragon masseuse to walk over your back to help you relax, or use its fire to heat up saunas. You could even teach your dragon the Wellness skill to help it deal with its temper.

Maybe they are just adding some new swatches, or updating the hairstyles.

Yeah I think it's more something like that, we shouldn't except much from them.

I don't consider that a refresh of a pack. They could add swatches to hairs thru an update but in a pack refresh I'd expect something ground breaking.

Going off if Spa Day is the pack to refresh I think the following could be added:

-Adding elements from the Clean Living Stuff pack which was in the survey like the blender.
-An easily stressed (or something that brings out the tense moodlet more)
-Vegan trait (though that should probably be patched into the base game.)
-A "Self Love" aspiration.

I'm glad they're fixing the packs, but this is making me pretty worried that they'll waste the opportunity on packs that don't really need it because they feel like adding some spa themed stuff rather than fixing bugs. In an ideal world they'd improve every single one but I doubt that so it's very disappointing to see resources wasted on a pack that doesn't really need improvement. Spa Day is one of the few packs that it's like "Yeah I'd be happy to get new stuff" but it's not really gonna make much of a difference to anything

Dine Out needs burning down to the ground and rebuilding.

Dine Out is great apart from the bugs. I think if they fixed those everyone else would enjoy it as well as the actual mechanics are pretty solid and it's fun to play with. Dine Out and DHD should be the priority to be fixed as they're both bugged as heck

I afraid that they can only add a possibility to own SPA as you can have restaurant.
