You can take your sims to a spa, and do spa things, like yoga classes, and massages, and do the sauna thing, but not the thing that they do at gay saunas. Nevermind, the sauna is a new woohoo location.

The pack delivers on the premise, even if the premise is not overly exciting. I like taking my sims to the spa from time to time, and make them fall in love with the masseurs. The main thing missing is that you can't work at the spa yourself, it's NPC job positions only (this shit always happens in The Sims 4).

I forgot to mention that this is the only pack in the history of The Sims 4 to get a refresh: they added objects and gameplay features years after the fact to round up the flavour. I really wish they had done that with all the packs, but apparently it didn't increase sales at all, because they haven't done it again. I haven't played around much with the new stuff yet, but the best things they added is the high maintenance trait, the ability to do manicures and pedicures (nail polish was added to the base game around that time) and the ability to work as an independent masseur / wellness expert / whatever (they added portable versions of all the wellness objects so that you can carry them around and take them to your clients' houses). You still can't work in a spa lot, but otherwise this is a fantastic addition.
