To that end, the refresh introduces new ways for Sims to pamper themselves and others, including face masks and pedicures, plus a range of new colour and style variants for spa-themed furniture and items. The final new aspiration is Inner Peace, which is all about trying to bring harmony to a Sim's life and attempting to mitigate negative emotions. It's even possible to advertise services through The Sims 4's in-game social media to get a potential customer boost. On that note, virtually all Wellness skill items - including massage chairs and tables, the yoga mat, and meditation stool - now provide ways to make money, and new portable options let players run their own pop-up business (including massages, yoga classes, and guided meditation), everywhere from the park to the beach. Zen Gurus, for example, want to share their mastery of Wellness with the world and train a successor to pass on their knowledge, while Self-Care Specialists are all about trying to make big money through Wellness. Meanwhile, the old Wellness skill has now been expanded so that child Sims can take advantage of its calming benefits by participating in yoga and meditation (while wearing some new activity appropriate clothing, no less).Įlsewhere, three new Wellness-themed aspirations give Sims something new to work toward. There's a new High Maintenance trait, for instance, which can be soothed by a day at the spa, giving a little more impetus to use the facilities. The original Spa Day (one of EA's mid-tier Game Packs, sitting between the smaller-scale Stuff Packs and more substantial Expansion Packs) brought a focus on health and relaxation to the Sims 4, adding the new spa building type where visiting Sims could de-stress and re-energise, enjoying everything from steam baths and stone massages to yoga and meditation.Īs outlined in developer Maxis' latest livestream, next week's surprisingly expansive update to Spa Day will bring new features and tighter integration with the core game.

One of The Sims 4's earliest expansions, 2015's Spa Day, is getting a refresh next week, introducing a whole range of new features and improvements that'll be free to existing owners.
