The toilets flush.

That's the clean-up routine. It repairs all broken objects and cleans everything on community lots and in inactive households. AFAIK, it's always been like that, however.

Otherwise, patching went smoothly after I updated all of my mod....wait, right, I can no longer install game worlds, like Lunar Lakes or Lucky Palms. And the tablet from the Store installed but won't work. Bah. Still, I can play and didn't lose my crazy towns.

I wouldn't say that. Sounds more like the whole town is very regular.

Wasn't this supposed to be one of the "fixes"? The performance itself was supposedly good as my Sim had a +25 moodlet afterwards.

Yeah, that's what the patch said. Maybe they'll get it right with the next patch.

Yeah, I could not find any changes in that regards in the code-base.

I suspect that particular note was added to the wrong release notes.

Yes, it is definitely not fixed. My Singer loses 8 relationship points after each song with every audience member, no matter what he does, and he only gets plus signs from them. One gig lasts for about 3 songs, so, at the end of a show there's a loss of exactly 24 points. Do that three times and your Sim will be without any friends. I begin to suspect that this is like the "well-rested bug" where points are being subtracted when they should be added. I think I'm going to retire my Sim from the Singer career and get him a proper job, like Criminal or somesuch. Even the Emperor of Evil loses less relationship points when meeting a Sim

What's wrong with you EA? lol Here I was, like a mortar, thinking that it will screw up my game like every other patch, that I will have to reinstall TS3 from scratch, or at least that it will corrupt my save files. I'm really amazed. After updating only Nraas mods it works fine! Just... WOW. Had to share it with someone, it's too amazing.

Yup, I'm now ready waiting for Supernatural.

Graveyards, Fishing Spots, and Beaches work as a park gig.
Pool, Gym, Library as well as Dive Bars work as Bistro Gigs (Coffeehouse is what it's called in game I think).
Hangouts and the LN Dance Clubs work as Live Venue Gigs.
Art Gallery, LN Lounges, and the Horse Ranch work as Private Venue Gigs.

Tuning files for the Premium store items have been added to the package. There's the existing ones and two unreleased:

Vending Machine, which comes in flavors Candy, Health, and Drink and offers the interactions Buy to eat later, Restock, Kick, Buy to eat. Items has a chance to get stuck.

A ceremonial tea set, which comes with a hidden skill.

The only non-store .xml files that were changed were:
ShowStage (for the relation drop fix), EditCollectionDialog (new collection icon), Bars (so that LN bars work in ST venues), JobsAndTasks (using LN and other lots for ST careers).

So most tuning mods should still work.

Vending machines? Came across a link to this someplace else, while trying to find out if there was any way to actually merge the LN and SHT lots. Did we actually get these? Don't recall seeing them! If we did, where are they located? If a store item, where there? Would LOVE vending machines!
