    This really annoys me. If appliances like the cupcake machine and ice cream maker have this new UI, why doesn't the appliances in For Rent? Make that make sense

    As of August 18, 2025...

    Appliances with newest UI, and include [CL] Simple Living recipes:

    • [HCH] ChowBella Stand Mixer
    • [HCH] ChowBella Portable Pizza Oven
    • [HCH] ChowBella Heart Waffle Maker
    • [BH] The Kate & Berry Sweet Treats Fabricator 3000

     

    Appliances with older-simplified UI, no recipe included for Simple Living [CL] lot challenge:

    • [FR] Grace Under Pressure Rice Cooker
    • [CK] Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Machine

     

    Appliances with wheel UI, and no Simple Living [CL] recipes:

    • [MH] Sugar Kane Popcorn Popper
    • [SE] Hot Pot
    • [GT] Espresso Engine
    • Any Coffee Maker;
      • Coffee Maker lacking Simple Living [CL] recipes seems intentional, but I would love to see the addition of growable Coffee Beans in a future update, making Coffee Beans, Milk, and Sugar required for certain coffee/espresso drinks with the Simple Living lot Challenge available.
    • Any Microwave*;
      • Microwaves also lack Simple Living [CL] recipe, but this seems intentional and makes logical sense, since most options are pre-made frozen items like nuggets, pizza rolls, etc.

     

    My Opinion: I wish the older appliances were updated to have the same UI as the newer appliances, so there would be consistency and cohesion between packs/gameplay. Plus, the Simple Living lot challenge and its recipes need to be implemented across all Appliances, except for the Microwaves and maybe the Coffee Makers. 

    /TLDR: Appliances have inconsistent UI, and some are missing Simple Living recipes. Most Appliances' UI should be updated.
