Back in May we got the CAS Preference Update for The Sims 4 which allows players to choose different preferences such as Favorite Color, Music, Interests and Decor if you have Dream Home Decorator.
It was already proven by the community that adding new Categories and Preferences is possible, and The Sims Team did state that they’re definitely open to adding new Preferences in the future.
Modder @WickedWhims spotted a new piece of code that’s been added in after the latest Update, showing the new code that allows for clothing Preferences. The game could, in the future, allow players to choose Preferences for different clothing, accessories and makeup.
See this piece of code? It allows to test for clothing CAS likes & dislikes. This could mean that future patches will include preferences for Sims clothing, makeup, or accessories 🥳 pic.twitter.com/WKsmW3L3ji
The Sims 4 released a new update yesterday giving players the ability to apply custom, colorful fingernails and toenails with various designs included with both the Base Game and Spa Day Game Pack.
However, it only took players a few moments after the update’s release to notice that something’s wrong with it.
@NolanSimsCC first reported that the Nails Texture overlap over a lot of clothing pieces that came from The Sims 4 and its Packs.
It looks like the texture space for the nails that came with the Spa Day Refresh overlap with a lot of existing EA pieces. Pretty disappointing. pic.twitter.com/ZqwbdjByia
The overlap glitch might not be noticable at first, however try to focus on the pink gradient texture popping on random clothing pieces:
This visual glitch will change on your Sim’s clothing as you switch between different nail color variants.
I tried to see if this visual glitch appears in my game and indeed it is there.
I’ve set my Sim to have pink nails and the pink texture somehow managed to appear somewhere on some outfits – whether it’s below the armpit or underneath the outfit layers.

One player reported a visual nails deformation that looks like this:
The Sims has released it’s Spa Day refresh; a free game update for both base game players and players who own the Spa Day game pack. While players who don’t own Spa Day get a few goodies, like some nails to choose from in CAS, players who own the Spa Day game pack have access to a much wider variety of content aimed at elevating the existing Spa Day gameplay.
One new addition exclusive to the Spa Day game pack is face masks! To refresh your memory, face masks were automatically applied when Sims took any of the special Spa Day soak baths but players could not instruct their Sims to use face masks as a separate action. The masks didn’t provide any benefit to your Sims, either; they were purely cosmetic.
Now face masks can be used anytime, anywhere and offer a wide variety of boosts and effects for your Sims! They come in a brand new mini-fridge object that’s been added to the Spa Day game pack in this refresh update. These mini-fridges can be placed on any lot so you can have them at home or at the spa. In addition to offering face masks, the new fridges also have two new cucumber-based quick meals available from them; a bowl of cucumbers and a cucumber energy drink.
To get your hands on some face masks, just click on one of these new mini-fridges and choose Purchase Face Mask. You can also opt to purchase and wear one right away. A menu will pop up with all the face masks available to purchase! There are six face masks you can buy and each one provides your Sims with different positive moodlets after wearing it for a short amount of time. One of the masks is even wearable by children and toddlers!
[table id=95 /]
After purchasing your face masks, they’ll be stored inside the mini-fridge. This is to keep them chilled. Chilled masks offer more powerful benefits from being worn. A mask will only stay chilled for a short period of time after being removed from the fridge. If you want to get the most benefit out of your face masks, don’t carry them around in your inventory. Keep them in the fridge until you need them.
With a mask in your Sim’s inventory, just select it and choose Wear Face Mask. For toddlers, they have the option to Play With Animal Mask which is the same thing. Each mask looks different; some are sheet masks, others are clay masks, some are smooth and shiny. A few even have visual effects. For example, the gold mask sparkles. All masks have to be worn for a while in order for your Sims to gain a positive moodlet from it.

In the developer livestream, SimGuruNotVlad teased that some of the masks have special effects on occult Sims. We tried a Sun Soothing Facial Mask on a vampire and it made him immune to sunlight for 12 hours! There may be other effects from different masks on other occults. If you discover any more special occult effects from face masks, let us know!
Face masks can be very relaxing but don’t overdo it! Keeping a face mask on for too long or using too many face masks in a row can leave your Sim with irritated skin, which shows up as a blotchy red rash on their face! You cannot apply more face masks while your Sim has irritated skin. You must wait for their skin to heal, first. Sims will usually remove their masks on their own when they need to come off as long as they aren’t busy with something else, so it’s pretty hard to get to this point.
As long as you use face masks in moderation, your Sims should have no problems with them and reap all the benefits that come along with indulging in self-care.
The Sims 4 Spa Day received a pack refresh on 7th September 2021 and with that introduced several new aspirations!
The aspirations fall under the new Wellness category in the Aspirations panel. You will now have the option to choose the Inner Peace, Zen Guru or Self-Care Specialist aspirations for your Sims.
Below you’ll find everything you need to know about the new aspirations. Each of the aspirations comes with one overall level to complete, but each will come with multiple tasks your Sims need to do.
Inner Peace
“For the Sims that want to achieve ultimate harmony and learning tools to mitigate their negative emotions.”
Practice Mindfulness 0/6
Seek Relaxation 0/6
Find Peaceful Surroundings 0/40
Maintain Harmony 0/1
Completion of this aspiration will reward your Sim with the Clear Perspective Reward Trait.
Clear Perspective: “Bob has a clear head on his shoulders! Bob is now able to have a brief respite from the harshness of reality and recontextualize things. Like how it’s all sorts of meaningless… but in a good way!”
Zen Guru
“For the Sims that want to share the power of wellness with the world…the whole world, for real. They also focus on seeking to train their successor to pass the knowledge along.”
Comfort Others 0/20
Guide Others 0/6
Share Detox Tea 0/10
Become a Master Wellness Teacher 0/1
Completion of this aspiration will reward your Sim with the Calming Aura Reward Trait.
Calming Aura: “Eliza’s mastery over Wellness allows her to emanate a soothing glow! Use this newfound ability to calm Sims around her, and to look awesome.”
Self-Care Specialist
“For those Sims who would like to monetize their love of fitness and wellness.”
Hustle 0/1
Gain Self-Care Notoriety 0/10
Become a Spa Regular 0/20
Maintain a Regular Customer 0/1
Completion of this aspiration will reward your Sim with the Self-Care Expertise Reward Trait.
Self-Care Expertise: “Bob has developed an expertise for all things Wellness! Clients will now cough up way more money for his services!”
If you find yourself stuck while completing any of the new aspiration milestones, you can simply hover over the task to find out how to go about it.
Regardless of what Wellness path your Sims will take, these new aspirations will surely help them on their journeys.
Let us know what you think of the new aspirations in the comments below or over on social media!
The Sims 4 Spa Day has received a refresh in a game update today. Players who already own the Spa Day game pack will receive all of the new features and content in a free game patch. Players who do not own Spa Day will still be getting some features of today’s refresh, like the ability to select fingernails and toenails in CAS.
This brings us to possibly one of the most exciting new features of the Spa Day refresh: NAILS! Sims can now go to the spa and have their nails and toes painted a variety of different colours and patterns. They can also give manicures and pedicures to other Sims both for fun and profit if they have high enough Wellness skill!
Getting Your Nails Done
Sims can ask another qualified Sim for a manicure or pedicure by clicking on any spa chair. At a spa, there will be nail techs on site to offer these services but spa chairs can be placed and used on any lot. Sims can hire a professional to come do their nails or ask a skilled Sim on the lot.
When your Sim sits down in the chair to have their nails done, a menu will pop up with a wide selection of colours and patterns to choose from, as well as different shapes. You can choose from coffin, round, stiletto, almond, short, and curated shaped nails. The curated section features nails of differing shapes made by CC creator, Ebonix. Each nail shape offers different sets of colours and patterns. There are both glossy and matte varieties of many colours as well. The glossy nails have a sheen on the corner of the nail polish bottle icon while the matte nails do not.
Once you’ve chosen your shape and colour, sit back and relax while a nail tech pampers your Sim! When finished, your Sim will be sporting a brand new set of nails which they will spend a few moments admiring. Getting your nails done also gives Sims a happy moodlet!
If you want your Sims’ toes to match their nails, your Sims can get a pedicure, too! The pedicure selection screen does not have differing shapes and only offers solid colours. As any nail enthusiast knows, it’s not so easy to get intricate patterns and designs on toenails and long toenails are just… ew. Toes are usually more simple than fingernails for these reasons and it’s no different in The Sims. There is a nice variety of solid colours to choose from so you can pick a colour for your toes that’s similar to the main colour on your fingernails if you want a matching look.
09 07 21 1 50 03 PM
09 07 21 1 50 39 PM
When getting a pedicure, your Sims will spend a few minutes letting their feet soak in warm soapy water, first. This is my favourite part of getting a pedicure and I’m really happy to see The Sims didn’t forget about this important first step! After your Sim’s feet have gotten a nice good soak, your nail tech will come over and start filing and painting the toenails for you.
Nails are not permanent if you get them done via a spa chair! They do degrade after roughly one in-game day and your Sims will need to go back to the spa to get a touch up.
Becoming a Nail Tech
While there is no official nail tech career in this Spa Day refresh, your Sims can definitely make a living as a nail tech. Your Sims have a lot of freedom to choose when and where they want to work. Spa chairs can be placed on any lot but the refresh also adds a portable version of the spa chair (and massage table) that can be dragged in and out of your Sim’s inventory anywhere they are. Go to a spa venue to work, work from home, or take your portable spa chair to the park! With other packs like Get To Work, your Sims could even own a retail business that does nails, although the funds made from doing nails may not be counted by the game as business profits.
To launch your own nail business, your Sim will need to spend some time building the Wellness skill. You won’t be able to offer nail services until your Sim has level 6 Wellness skill. Once your Sim is at level 6 of the Wellness skill, they can click on a spa chair and select Tend Spa Chair, much the same way your Sims can tend a bar.
While tending a spa chair, your Sim will wait near the chair until nearby Sims wander over to request spa services. Your Sims will automatically offer manicures, pedicures, hand massages, and foot massages while tending a spa chair but if you only want your Sim to do nails or massages, you can disable any services you don’t want your Sim to offer via the spa chair as well.
If your Sim completes the new Self-Care Specialist aspiration, they will earn the Self-Care Expertise reward trait which will allow them to make a lot more money from offering all spa services, including nails! This can be a very lucrative option for your Sims!
If your Sim is having trouble drumming up enough business, they can promote their services on Simstagram! Click on a spa chair to promote yourself and your Sim will pull out their phone to make a quick Simstagram post. Results aren’t guaranteed; social media can be hit or miss, after all, but in most cases, promoting yourself on Simstagram will encourage more Sims to show up to receive spa services from your Sim. If the Get Famous expansion pack is installed, your Sims can gain fame from doing this, too!
Your Sims can of course still offer nail services to specific Sims for free, just like they always could with the hand and foot massages.
Nails in CAS
Players who don’t own Spa Day will still be able to customize their Sims’ nails directly in CAS, but having Spa Day offers a much wider variety of nails to choose from.
There are now two new sub-categories in the accessories section of CAS; fingernails and toenails. You can select any nail set you like for your Sims. Children have short and medium-length nails to choose from in a variety of colour sets, as well as options for toenails. Toddlers do not have a toenail category in CAS but can choose short fingernails in a few different colours. Unfortunately, children and toddlers cannot get their nails done in game via a spa chair; their nail options are only available in CAS.

TS4 x64 2021 09 07 15 45 15
TS4 x64 2021 09 07 15 45 30
CAS nails differ from nails your Sims get done in-game. Unlike nails from the spa chair in-game, CAS nails do not degrade over time. Your Sims’ nails will stay beautiful forever if you select them in CAS.
The refresh for The Sims 4 Spa Day Game Pack has just been released – and there are some new objects and items added both in Create A Sim and Build Mode as a nice bonus!
Let’s check out what the refresh has to offer in terms of new items:
Create A Sim Additions
The Create A Sim additions mostly focus on colorful new nails. There are 9 pairs of nails to choose from that now come exclusively with Spa Day Game Pack, including:

Here’s the full breakdown of all the new objects in Build Mode:
UPDATE: It seems that a new Beard has also been added secretly into the game!
The Sims 4’s latest update is out now on both PC and Consoles and it heavily focuses on the new updates for The Sims 4 Spa Day Game Pack.
However, there’s something The Sims Team forgot to mention in the Patch Notes and that’s two new Moroccan-Inspired Outfits added in Create A Sim – one for each Gender Preference!
09 07 21 8 00 35 PM
09 07 21 8 00 18 PM
There are 6 different color variants for each one. They’ve also included a new Pair of slippers:
In case you don’t know – The Sims Team teased that they’ll be continuing to release more Free Cultural Content throughout this year! During their Inside Maxis Livestream in May they even shared the Concept Art piece of this very outfit we got today. Try to compare it with the Feminine Outfit on the top left!
The Sims Team has released a brand new update for The Sims 4 on PC, Mac, Xbox One and PS4!
To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update”.
In case you have Mods or Custom Content, the game will automatically disable them for you after first launching The Sims 4 after the update. To re-enable all your Mods and Custom Content, select the Settings option in the Menu and select Settings. Under the ”Other” section you’ll find the ”Enable Custom Content and Mods” option. Check it and restart your game in order for it to take effect!
Patch Notes
Update 9/7/2021
PC: 1.79.93.1030 / Mac: 1.79.93.1230
Console: Version 1.47
Hello Simmers!
We hope you are well wherever you are in the World.
Today, we have a special kind of update! As you now know, this is our first update that fully focuses on a previously released pack, giving it new life if you will. Today is the day for self-care for and with The Sims™ 4 Spa Day!
Spa Day is all about relaxation and getting some well-deserved personal Sim time and wellness. With this update, we are adding some features that will help enhance this wellness experience that we hope you enjoy.
Along with these enhancements, we were also able to fix a few issues that were live and needed some care.
Thanks again for your continued support and feedback!
Chaus!

What’s New?
Spa Day Updates
Everyone deserves more time to refresh and more ways to renew! In this update, we added the following:
Three new Aspirations and a new Trait
The path to wellness is long but well worth it! Sims can now opt for three aspirational paths to achieve their own Zen:
Self-Care Specialists – For those Sims who would like to monetize their love of fitness and wellness.
Inner Peace – For the Sims that want to achieve ultimate harmony and learning tools to mitigate their negative emotions.
Zen Guru – For the Sims that want to share the power of wellness with the world…the whole world, for real. They also focus on seeking to train their successor to pass the knowledge along.
In addition to these new Aspirations, we added a new trait for those Sims that require a bit of extra work to keep their needs… properly aligned. High Maintenance will allow your Sims to experience mindful tasks that can help their sense of wellbeing. No trouble is trivial, no need is too much.
You can find these new Aspirations and the new Trait in Create A Sim. And don’t forget the Spa Membership included with these Aspirations – it’s a steal!
Manicures and Pedicures
Some people like having a massage to decompress – a valid option… pretty sure I need one – but my favorite thing is manicures and pedicures! Hear me out! There is something so relaxing about choosing your design, color, shape, and having someone prettify (yes, it is a word… to me) your nails with the utmost care. Now your Sims can get these nail enhancements or graciously give them to other Sims. You can choose a design, a shape, and voilà! Your Sims’ nails will be as fabulous as they feel!
And if you don’t want to get your nails done by a professional- tight budget, totally get it – Sims will have access to the same options in Create A Sim that you can instantly apply to your Sims nails – it’s like insta nails!! You can pick from a variety of swatches with color combinations, designs, or just a solid color for each fingernail. You can also choose a variety of one solid color choices for your Toenails. You can find them in the Accessories category in Create A Sim, where you will see a Fingernails and Toenails sort with the options.
We want to highlight that in this upgrade to Spa Day we have a design from the wonderful Ebonix that is featured in Create A Sim! Ebonix is a super talented Sims Creator, and we are happy we can feature one of her designs and share it with everyone.
About Yoga and Meditation
Yoga Classes can now take place outside of Spas and Gyms! You can hire a yoga instructor or teach your own class from the Instructor Yoga Mat. Speaking of teaching, Sims can also lead Guided Meditation sessions from Meditation Stools. Oh, and I don’t want to forget to mention that Children are able to practice and teach both Yoga and Meditation as well!
New Objects, Facial Masks… Oh my!
As part of this update, we also added a few new objects and swatches in Build Mode, these include a new luxurious massage table and a massage chair that can also be used for manicures and pedicures for a full relaxation experience. And as an added bonus, there is a new portable massage chair and table, so your Sims can give massages, manicures, and pedicures on the go to earn some Simoleons.
Besides these, we added as part of your Sims’ self-care routine the ability to purchase and apply Facial Masks. They come in a variety of benefits and designs; for ease of access, we recommend having in your preferred lot the Doc Sweet’s Luke-Warm Mini Dispenser. This mini version of the original refrigerator can hold your favorite beverages in a compact space, but as an added benefit, Sims can purchase Facial Masks from it. By the way, don’t forget to try the new Cucumber Power-Sip and cucumber slices for a tasty snack! Also available with this update.
Base Game Updates
For those who don’t own Spa Day, we wanted to give you a treat as well. For Base Game Simmers we added the nail options for fingernails and toenails in Create A Sim for you to enjoy. Same as mentioned previously, there will be choices under the Fingernails and Toenails sort in Create A Sim, there will be a variety of solid one-color nails and color combination nails available for the Base Game itself.
Bug Fixes
Console
We fixed an issue in which some of the controls when players are in the Game Options menus were a little off, it should work correctly now.
The Sims 4
New games should no longer experience the automatic generation of empty households, and the ensuing save size increase and performance lag that this causes. The team is still investigating how to safely fix existing saves that have this issue.
We fixed an issue that affected Custom Content Chairs that when slotted with certain objects it created Sims routing issues.
Sometimes, in certain saves, Sims would lose their names when visiting some Lots – most notoriously the Goth’s Lot but it could happen anywhere. If a Sim has no name… does that Sim exist? I can assure you that the Goths were not involved, but this issue should no longer occur.
Ever had the need to order food or drinks but you just couldn’t be bothered? Been there, however the issue of Sims and NPCs not being able to order food and drinks autonomously has been fixed. Order away!
Have you noticed that your Sims had been doing Fitness things or Dancing if they Disliked those things? Strange no? It should no longer happen as long as they continue to Dislike them of course. As a note, unfortunately (for those affected), Sims are subject to choose music they Dislike still from any stereo so they can still torment other Sims (and Simmers) around them.
We fixed an issue in which the Mega Window (Double Budget Grand Deluxe DeLite) in build Mode was missing a few swatches and displayed them as empty.
Let’s talk about Unibrows! Are they in? Are they out? No matter, every brow is welcome! We have fixed an issue that didn’t make the thicker unibrow available for female frame Sims and that didn’t make the thinner unibrow available for male frame Sims. So all the unibrows for both frames!
Did you ever notice an invisible slot under the All of the Things table? We sure did, and while I think that if it is called “all of the things” it could have all the things, everywhere… I guess? This was not acceptable so we fixed that.
Get to Work
The hairstyle yfHair_EP01TwistLow has been tagged correctly in the Updo Hairstyle category. Is it still an Updo even if the bun is low and not up high? These are the questions I ponder sometimes.
Eco Lifestyle
If you noticed the Community Voting Board missing from venues across packs in Build Mode, never fear. It has been found and should be safely back in Build Mode.
Dream Home Decorator
Ever had such good-looking décor that you can’t just sleep because you have to look at it? As much as we want your Sims to love their décor and their style, we thought it was a bit too much that they would not sleep and just look at it, so this should no longer happen.
During the official developer livestream for The Sims 4 Spa Day Refresh, The Sims Team has shared a taste of the new objects coming in Build Mode to the Spa Day Game Pack.
First up there are two new variations for Massage Tables and Massage Chairs – each! Check out the breakdown of some of the presets included:
Included in this update is also an updated display shelving with some colorful new presets available – for candles as well!
There’s also now a bigger selection of Yoga Mats, with different variants for Sims who just practice Wellness and Wellness Instructors.
One thing that Spa Day was definitely missing out were a good selection of towel decor. The Refresh is bringing new Towel Decor including Towel Robes, a Towel Rack for Walls and a Towel Fold. Check out the different color variants!
Oh, and what about those new Meditation Cushions and Mini-Fridges!
The new Mini-Fridge comes with a unique interaction that lets you purchase Facial Masks – which are also brand new with the Refresh.

The Sims Team also took inspiration from the Cucumber bowl found in the Mini-Fridge and decided to add some new Cucumber-related recipes – including the Bowl of Cucumbers and a Cucumber Drink that gets your Sims Focused:

Over the last couple of weeks, when I’ve not been playing The Sims 4, I’ve found myself exploring the world of Teyvat in Genshin Impact. As I was playing one evening, I was wondering if there was any way I could make my Sims look like the characters from the game. After a quick search, I discovered that it was definitely possible.
Here is a selection of Genshin Impact Custom Content that you can download right now for The Sims 4.

It’s that time of year, Simmers. The long summer days are getting shorter, the temperatures are getting cooler, and soon the leaves will start to turn a thousand shades of red, orange, and yellow. The end of the summer is upon us but don’t feel sad; we’ve got one last summer playlist for you to keep those winter blues away just a little longer!
Here are ten upbeat Simlish bops to help you make the most of these last days of the summer!
The Sims Team has published the latest Laundry List for The Sims 4. The laundry list addresses some of the most important bugs and issues in the game that the community have reported and that the team has prioritized to fix in time for the next game update.
Hi Simmers!
Welcome to the Laundry List where we’ll share a list of the top community concerns that we’re currently investigating and hope to have resolved in the upcoming patch. This is just a top list, there are more topics that we saw reported by players that are not listed and being worked on.
These concerns were reported by players who help us continue our work of improving the user experience on a regular basis.
Please note that some topics can be tricky and require an extended investigation on our end, so even though we are actively reviewing it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch.
Here’s the list of the top community concerns we’re investigating for the game update this month:
Thanks for all your patience and valuable help! Please continue telling us about any issues you’re experiencing on Answers HQ, we’ll continue to work on improving our transparency, and together we can make this game the best that it can be. Happy Simming!
I’ll be honest, even though I’ve owned The Sims 4 Spa Day since launch, it has been a long-time since I last properly took the time to explore the pack in game. With the first pack refresh for The Sims 4 landing on 7th September, what better time to revisit one of the earlier Game Packs from the game.
I jumped into my game and placed one of the premade Spas that came with the pack. There’s a total of four to chose from, and I went with the Center of Center Massage Spa. Even just looking around the build, I remembered just how much of the pack I had forgotten about, as well as just how much of the Build Buy Mode objects I use regularly without realizing. Create A Sim wise, there’s still a few items that I use, mainly the shorts if anything and a couple of the tops but that’s it.
I remember, when this pack first came out, I would use the majority of items all the time in my builds. The new wall and floor options that came with the pack were everywhere, as well as the new bathroom objects too. Looking back, there was definitely a handful of times when I may have gone overboard with using the new options. I guess as more new packs were released, I drifted away from Spa Day and focused on the new content instead.
The option of being able to let your Sims visit the Spa, take part in Yoga sessions, meditate, have massages and more was interesting. Being able to do some of those things at home as well and even essentially have your own home Spa was brilliant.

I played around in game for an hour or so, focusing on my Sims experience at the Spa as well as levelling up their wellness level. I have to say, I had a lot of fun revisiting the Spa Day Game Pack ahead of its refresh tomorrow. Just focusing on the features of Spa Day for that time reminded me what this pack not only has to offer and how I can use it in my game for builds currently but also how excited I am for the pack refresh.
The pack refresh is really going to bring a lot to this Game Pack, and I’m looking forward to exploring the new features coming tomorrow!
Lets us know what your favourite thing is about The Sims 4 Spa Day as well as what you are looking forward to in the pack refresh in the comments below.
In case you’ve missed out on the news – The Sims 4 Spa Day Game Pack is getting updated with new content – also known as a Pack Refresh!
This Pack Refresh will introduce new Traits and Aspiraiton, Spa Day activities for Children, Nails and Manicures, Objects and a lot more!
The Sims 4 Spa Day Game Pack Refresh will release as a Free Pack Update to anyone who already owns Spa Day, and all the Refresh Content will be included to those who plan to purchase the Game Pack in the future.
The Spa Day Game Pack Refresh is scheduled to release on PC and Consoles on September 7th, 2021 at 10AM Pacific Time. To make things easier for you we’ve added a countdown below that counts to the exact moment of the Pack Refresh in your area!
The Sims 4 Spa Day Game Pack is getting a Free Content Update (also known as a Refresh) on September 7th!
Among the new features and objects are also new Aspirations, CAS Trait and Reward Traits included in this Pack Refresh.
The Sims Team has showcased the new Aspirations and Traits in their latest developer livestream and for a first ever Pack Refresh they’ve done a good job!
New CAS Trait
There’s a new Trait you can pick from CAS, and that’s:
High Maintenance – These Sims require extra work to keep in good condition. Their problems sometimes appear trivial, and may even appear out of the blue. These struggles can be remedied through mindful habits, which puts them in a state of catharsis.
New Aspirations
With The Sims 4 Spa Day Game Pack you’ll now have a new Wellness Aspiration Category that comes with a unique Reward Trait and 3 different Aspirations to choose from, including:
Self-Care Specialist – This Sim wants to make it big with monetizing Wellness activities like offering Manicures or Tending the Massage Table at a Spa.
Zen Guru – This Sim wants to share their mastery of Wellness with the world, and train a successor to pass on their knowledge.
Inner Peace – This Sim is on a quest to achieve Inner Peace. Although true harmony is sometimes ephemeral, what’s important is developing tools to help mitigate negative emotions.
There’s also a new Reward Trait for this Aspiraiton:
Spa Membership – These Sims somehow came into posession of a Spa Membership. Nobody is really sure where it came from, how to cancel it, or who keeps paying for it each month. But one thing is for certain – all fees at Spas are waived! Nice!

New Reward Traits
There are 3 Reward Traits that your Sims get after completing one of the three new Aspirations, including:
Self-Care Expertise (from the Self-Care Specialist Aspiration) – Your Sim will be the Self-Care Expert and develop an expertise for all things Wellness. Clients will now cough up way more money for their services!
Clear Perspective(from the Inner Peace Aspiration) – Your Sim has a clear head on their shoulders! Your Sim will be able to have a brief respite from the harshness of reality and contextualize things. Like how it’s all sort of meaningless… but in a good way.
Calming Aura(from the Zen Guru Aspiration) – When your Sim masters Wellness it will allow them to emanate a soothing glow! Use this newfound ability to calm Sims around them, and… well, to look awesome!
