The Sims 4: Spa Day is the second game pack for The Sims 4. It was released on July 14, 2015 for PC and Mac.[1] The console version was released on April 18, 2019.

The pack features gameplay elements from The Sims 2: Bon Voyage. It includes a new type of venue, the spa, new objects such as the sauna, outfits and interactions, such as getting a massage at the massage chair and the mud bath. The pack also includes the new wellness skill; by taking yoga classes and learning how to meditate, Sims can build this skill. The higher their wellness skill, the more yoga poses they will be able to do, and the better massages they will be able to give.

On September 2, 2021, it was announced that Spa Day would be getting an update on September 7, 2021 to add significantly more content, including a new trait, three new aspirations, manicures, pedicures, and allowing children to participate in yoga and meditation.[2]

New gameplay mechanics[]

Spa Day introduces a new wellness skill, which can help Sims relieve stress and gain new abilities. Sims can build the skill by practicing yoga or meditation and increasing the skill enables the Sim to do more poses in yoga, and unlocks more interactions with all Spa activities. Wellness is also great to develop in the brand new Spa Lot assignment, which is the main feature of this game pack. Sims can visit the Spa for a revitalizing massage, or work on the new skill with some yoga. Taking relaxing mud baths, saunas, and massages are available at this lot and at home. Developing the wellness skill also unlocks new food and drink recipes.

Sims can now take hand and foot massages with the new massage chair wherever they like. Massages can leave Sims with either a positive or negative moodlet. Along with the massages are mud baths and body soaks, a new way for Sims to relive their stress. They can be taken in every kind of bathtub in any type of lot.

Saunas also return in Spa Day. Saunas can be placed any type of lot and are another great way for Sims to relive their stress and relax. Along with these saunas, there is a new death by sauna. Saunas are also a new WooHoo location.

Yoga returns for Sims to develop. Yoga mats are new objects that can be purchased in buy mode and can be used everywhere. In the spa lots, there are yoga classes that Sims can take part in, if wanted.

Aquariums return from the previous games in this pack as well. Sims can catch or buy fish and put them into the aquarium for other Sims to view. With aquariums, new fish has been added to the fish collection.

There is a brand new Radio Station called “New Age”, which is perfect for Sims who are meditating and doing yoga.

Over 100 buy and build mode items are introduced in Spa Day, for building the perfect spa, along with new clothes, with the style being spa and sports related.
