Spa Day refresh

I made a poll on which pack needs improving the most on the pack section, and so far out of 105 votes, Spa Day has zero

In my opinion this is because SPA Day doesn't really need a refresh but to be implemented.
OUTDOOR RETREAT and DINE OUT really need to be refreshed. Especially the last one, as you still cannot own and work in your own restaurant.
And if in a future they are going to refresh EP, GET TO WORK really needs a reboot.

But going back to GPs, I see SPA Day easily implemented with a kit or stuff pack.

Im not sure why theres even a debate about whether spa day needs a refresh or not, they literally said *every* pack is getting looked at, they even specifically named the pack that literally just came out among them in the stream. And the oldest packs definitely need a facelift by virtue of simply being older. Being good or not, buggy or not doesnt really matter. Dine Out and Outdoor Retreat are obviously getting looked at too since they fall under "every pack" lol Unless im missing something and they somehow dont count as Sims packs ??

Starting with the oldest packs makes the most sense so Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day and Get to Work are probably going to get the first of any updates. Dine Out came out pretty early in this series too so its not like you'd have to wait long for that either. In fact it directly followed Spa Day and Get Together so it'll still probably be in the first 5 to get fixed.

If it's Spa Day I hope they make it an ownable business. That would open up to more gameplay.

If it's outdoor retreat I hope they make a section on the neighbourhood screen where we can click on it, like a normal world, and edit lots as much as we like without the need for cheats. So you could have a sim live there even.

My guess is as well they might be using Spa Day to test the waters and see if it increases sales.

Out of the 3 earliest Game Packs Spa Day is the one that arguably isn't broken from the ground up and doesn't need "substantial" improvements.

Dine Out at this stage is severely buggy, at this stage the core structure needs to be fixed before adding anything to it.
Outdoor Retreat is severely lacking on gameplay and the option to add vacation worlds has made Granite Falls a little redundant. I'd say Outdoor Retreat needs more than a small refresh.

I'm not a game developer but my guess is they have things to add to Spa Day, see how well it is received and also see if sales get boosted to see how worthy a venture it is to do the rest?

Despite showing its age in certain ways, Spa Day has very little that's actually wrong with it. Which makes it much easier to 'fix'. Oh, some of the graphics could use a touch-up, and objects need bringing up to date with expansion packs - which is probably all they plan to do.

Yeah. Though I hope they add an aspiration - the game has a serious shortage of fitness aspirations (one BG, one from SE).

I think it's OR. The features in that pack are almost invisible.

I doubt it'll be spa day just because it's too obvious, and they are good at surprising us.

I don't know of we know which pack is being refreshed but like I honestly don't get why anyone would think it is Spa Day when the pack is literally perfect. It doesn't feel like a stuff pack at all and it is not buggy at all either.
The only thing that I can think of could be added is that our sims could be the yoga teachers or masseus' when they hit level 10 in the wellness skill though that is not really essential for me to have that in my game.

They're probably working their way backwards. Like, Spa Day will be the oldest pack they'll refresh, and then we'll get the next-oldest.
