This is not new for most of you, but I have never had the paper boy on my older model Kindle. He is there as of this update.

Online Store has had a sizable overhaul. When you click the little green 'i' symbol on some items, you get to see a 360 degree view of them.

You also get the little 'i' symbol for the bundles that are always in the Specials section. (Don't know if that was always I think, but I never had that option)

Over all the update is nice, well past my police job seems broken, my sims could not use the BBQ at the work place, so right now I stopped all of them working there right now, and hoping things fix themselves in a few days.

Had that issue a few months back. Was eventually fixed, but it took until the next update to correct it. Contact FM and let them know.

I have the same problem with the police station, it says Sims need to be able to use the BBQ but there’s nothing blocking it. I’m hoping this is a common problem that will soon get fixed as others complain about it, I don’t have the energy to file a complaint. 😀

Otherwise, the update seems ok, though I’m not sure I’ll use the prizes from the collecting quest, but I will do it anyway. I just realized I never used any of the things from the pet quest, though I spent a lot of time grinding for them. 😆

The benches and the Zen Rock of the Spa template have been added to the home store (Guess, just for players who've unlocked the lot.) We can remove those objects from existing Spa homes and even the ones outside the grid. Apparently we can't put them back outside the grid.

We can now sell items directly from inventory once again. No need to place them first. Yay!

Also, my rustic fireplaces look like they have caught fire. The picture doesn't capture it well as fire is just shooting out from it.

Yep, that's nice! But the number of items in inventory has disappered :?

The rustic fireplaces really look dangerous!
