Yes, they should have included more kitchen counters and washing/drying machines and curtains and stuff - but they decided to make it an ice cream stuff pack instead of a real kitchen stuff pack.
I know, I thought people would understand what I meant - better performance could mean the addition of features they left out due to poor machine performance in The Sims 3.
I absolutely love the style of the build/buy items in this game pack. I'm mainly a builder/decorator, but I find myself mesmerized at my sims doing yoga - the animations are amazing!
I can safely say it's my favourite, mostly because of the buy items (this latest build patch also came at the right time - it perfectly complements Spa Day). I only wish they had included lounge chairs...
Same problem here. Even if the latest patch notes say that "Items flagged as “New” will no longer be “New” once you know them." Nope, this bug hasn't been solved, EA.
Can anyone find the "subtle saucer ceiling light" this patch is supposed to have added? I can't find it in my game... EDIT: Just found it, it's very discreet :) It wasn't showing up when I first searched it by name, but now that I located it visually, it shows up in the search - go figure.
The official blog post only mentions locked doors and half walls - and these work like fences, not proper walls... http://www.thesims.com/en_GB/news/locked-doors-half-walls-patch
