Was Spa day refresh a missed opportunity

I watched some leaked info and not saying what being added doesn't look great or enticing, but one thing I don't understand however. Is why not get rid of the venue lots and make a small area you go to like with Batuu, secrets world, sixam etc.. Not saying do something huge but some that looks nice capture the vibe and maybe feel interesting to walks around and look around at. Spend time at like a escapism retreat for sims, could be wrong but can't help but feel like you much like now, would be going there to raise stats and after that you're not gonna have much interaction with it in the playthroughs. But lot venue will be left taking up lot space for other things unless you get rid of it, think Dine out kinda has same issue leaving venue lots to not really get used much, least not much past novelty feeling of touching them first time while everything is new and interesting.

If it had it's own semi sized location like get to work areas like police station, science outpost or hospital and captured a good vibe making you feel drawn in, maybe you'd have that feeling of wanting to go back like the beautiful areas like island living. But I don't know maybe I am only one feeling that way about it out there?

    Hi,

    I would like to bring the yoga lessons in the park instead of hiring a NPC Yoga instructor

    Fake park (Spa lot)




    I love that they freed the yoga classes from the spa lot. Now our sims can have their own studio somewhere in town to teach. Now we need lockable doors that they can use to claim a space as their own.

    The Club door can be used.



    The club doors are too fussy and they work to allow only club members. The park yoga allows us to basically set up a class and have any sim participate without being member of a club. This system allows more flexibility and I am not sure you will be able to charge money if you summon the yoga club members.
  • Im gonna be completely honest and say that I really really dont care about Spa Day getting an update. Dont get me wrong, its nice stuff that they're adding, but like I was really really REALLY hoping that Dine Out would get the attention it NEEDS. With each new update the game gets DO somehow gets worse off than before. What is going on in that pack? Sorry that Im not sorry, but I honestly dont have any excitement for Spa Day's refresh. Its great that its there, but I cant be bothered to care.

    Nah. Spa lots being secluded gives the player less freedom. We need more freedom.

    We could do with another free world with additional lot spaces, that’s for sure. Newcrest 2.0, as long as it’s nothing like Newcrest!

    I think the Spa Day upgrade comes with plenty fresh features too! If I didn’t already own the pack I would buy it.


    I agree.
  • I have a spa in Oasis Springs, Windenburg, Sulani, and Selvadorada. Each gives different vibes, so I personally enjoy keeping spas to a venue type. It gives way more flexibility in building since I can have more than one.

    My hope is that they'll give Get to Work a refresh soon and use the same mechanism that brought us buyable retail lots to give us other buyable venues.
  • Spas are one of the few lot types I've actually never made since lots are so limited in this game the good thing is they work perfectly fine in the gym lot type you can have yoga classes or the steam room message tables and they all work I guess now nails will be the one thing that does not fit within the gym lot type.
