@stilljustme2 - That mod sounds useful. I like the whole cupcake thing but the machine is massive and not worth putting in any but the largest houses. Most people IRL use their oven to bake cupcakes, I don't see why it needed a special machine that's as big as most Sims' bathrooms. Same goes for that ridiculous microscope. To accommodate that monstrosity, I usually just build a basement lab. Some things that used to be small, like telescopes, just got ridiculous, and people need microscopes and telescopes for collectibles. Making them that big, discourages their use. What the heck were they thinking? They put all that time and effort into designing and programming in these collections but make the gear you need to get them so big you don't want to put them on your lot. A bit self-defeating, I think.
