Yeh the new food stalls in resorts work fine for me.  Haven't come across any problems with the updated fixes

I'm a big fan of compact lots.  Some lovely work here, downloaded a couple.

No, but Sims Vip have some game guides they did themselves.  http://simsvip.com/game-guides/sims-3-seasons/

Yes it is, unless you send the money and mark it personal payment.

If you send the money and check the boxes for personal payment it doesn't add any Paypal charges.

Duly noted. 

Would've been nice had EA created a category for maternity or at least marked them somehow but that would've been too helpful of them.

Is there any way I can find out which EA clothing is enabled for maternity wear? 

Mine spends most of the day mourning at the graves in the back garden.  She tidies, doesn't garden, doesn't cook and doesn't do laundry (or even pick up the stinking piles of clothes).  I tried placing her coffin next to the washing machine then next to the garden plants, it made no difference.

My sim tried the 'sweeten up' interaction to add honey to a birthday cake and it bounced her across the room.  Anyone else come across this? Wondering if it's a bug or just specific to my game
