Perfect Patio's main gameplay highlight is the
hot tub. In a
previous poll, the forum community voted against hot tubs being patched into the base game for free. Compared to other stuff packs provided in The Sims 4, Perfect Patio is this DLC type that
has the least amount of items offered.
Would you like to see The Sims Studio patch in
more hot tubs for Perfect Patio SP owners?

I don't see the problem with them patching in something new into a pack I already bought. As long as they don't patch it into the base game.
But if they updated a pack I already purchased, that should be free content.
My Mood:
But, for example. What if it could be used as a Hot Tub for those who had bought the Perfect Patio Stuff as an extra use? Just an example but those who buy Stuff packs should get some perks sometimes.
I'd rather they add in some hot tubs in new packs. In ground or two-person romantic hot tub perhaps. If the hot tub matched the theme of the pack it would be great.
I think you left off at least one or more on Sims 3. I remember there being one with cards on it from the store. It was tacky, but it matched the Las Vegas theme of the set.
(My gosh the amount of stuff offered from TS3!)
I would absolutely love to see The Sims Studio add themed hot tubs for paid DLC (especially expansion packs) but there may be once again a gray area with how Perfect Patio is marketed.
With the size The Cauldron is, it should be a hot tub lol.
I think If you have Perfect Patio Installed perhaps it could have been a neat bonus feature in this instance, Where you wanted to do like a Little Hansel and Gretel Story... Something like that could be interesting in my book... of course you can't kill sims directly... but it could be funny if a sim was taking a dip in a spell caster's cauldron and the spell caster comes around like "What are you doing?! Well I guess while you're here..."
But Since Hot tubs were one of the focused luxury items in Perfect Patio it should be installed to unlock that feature. I don't think all packs should have come with their own hot tubs tho. But I believe all, or most, packs should be interconnected of course. and definitely updating to keep things fresh and enticing and maybe reel in more people to buy the pack if they had not bought it.
I know the topic is Hot tubs... but bare with me!
In general
Like adding to Get to Work, of course we can make magic Shops if we want to but what about Doctors, Scientists, and Detectives?
What new Magical mysteries can be solved? Odd Illnesses or injuries caused by magic can be cured? New Experiments and gadgets could be invented to aid or use against Magic? Does it have to be just aliens?
And yeah we're getting Magic in the realm of Magic but implore them to think, what other packs could add more magic.
With Seasons yeah we should have more weather/Nature manipulation spells. Life State transformation spells, turning a sim into a Mermaid, Vampire, Alien, Plant Sim, Ghost, Cat, Dog, Human and all life states to come. as we go on there should be more spells, pending on the pack concept.
But For the topic of Hot Tubs it has to fit the pack concept, Like Vampires... I don't think it might... Unless you want your vampire to soak in a Hot Plasma Bath... it wouldn't really... Maybe? (Bathing in the plasma of my enemies I want this NOW! What Have I done...)
Hmmm, Realm of Magic You could do the Cauldron like I said, have a literal Fountain of Youth Hot Tub.

Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
They could’ve added a new hot tub in Seasons because it would fit the theme but they chose not to.
To tell you the truth, I think they’ve crunched the data and figured that not many people are using hot tubs and that’s why they haven’t added any more.
I don’t foresee them adding new hot tubs for owners of Perfect Patio Stuff. I don’t foresee them adding new hot tubs period.
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
I second that!
Lets make this a reality!
