Hello everyone! Perfect Patio stuff just came out and it brought us hot tubs... that CHILDREN CAN GET INTO! That alone made me super excited but, I think that another expansion pack should be released instead of a bunch of stuff packs. Even game packs would be better but I am begging EA, PLEASE release something that has to do with seasons or night life. Anyway, this is a discussion area for your thoughts and feelings about this pack. Post away!

About the pack, I am excited to woohoo in the hot tub and skinny dip again. The new grill is flipping sweet and the lounge chairs are cool. Have only played a couple of hours as I am at work and shouldn't play anyway... but it's summer school's out!
I agree going to work with sims is cool, i wouldn't even mind if it was university next and worked the same kinda way, Instead of a career performance bar have an academic performance bar that needs to be filled from classes and public speaking before the final exam. Use the notebook and have information regarding certain subjects like science and plants saved and then give us an option when the final exam comes along to either have our sim do it alone or use chance cards for us to answer the questions based off the info saved in the notebook and be scored on that.
Sadly, there are no lounge chairs yet...
That's awesome! So did I. Very much.
thank you thread

Yeah, I completely agree! I love the work aspect as well and the resorts.
thank you thread
Unfortunately these are not the hot tubs you have been missing. Unlike the one you have used in previous games fun goes down rather up. If you sim comes home stressed and needing fun you would do better sending them to the pool to do some swims some laps.
The Road goes ever on and on And I must follow, if I can,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
Wow, that's a bummer.... come on now, EA.
thank you thread
The 'fun' bar glitch hasn't affected everyone. It's all working fine for me.
You can use the new hot tubs as it does increase the fun bar and helps boost your sims mood.
Please excuse me for being skeptical but there seem be a number of outside factors affecting whether the hot tub is fun or not but my observations indicate that the hot tub is not in itself intrinsically fun.
I've been trained as a scientist so maybe I'm a bit more observant than most. Let's do a scientific experiment here. Place a hot tub straight from build/buy. Eliminate any variables that might cause fun such as music playing in the background, other sims, television playing within sight of the hot tub. Instruct one sim whose fun is in the orange to sit in the hot tub. Switch to the sims motive panel and observe. Which motive bars move and in what direction.
Repeat the above in the Sims 1, 2 and 3 if you have them.
Let me know what you have observed.

This game also needs a tropical vacation gamepack added big time and more stuff for pools.
This issue will probebly be fixed in the July Patch as will the easy listening and retro stations being added to the hottub radio.
@Moon_Willow we don't need crazy expirements at this time of the day. If you don't like the hot tubs for whatever reason that is your opinion, glad you shared it.
The fun bar is getting fixed in the next patch.
EDIT:
Crap ... I had two tabs open ... wrong thread. This is about patios.
LGR and others including me agree with you
