Yesterday for the first time, my sim's bff who has a key, came into her house while she was at work and baked a white cake. At the time I thought, um okay, that was nice.
I knew there was some reason why I was hesitating to make a NAP in my older saves. First off, I don't have that many lots in sections of the neighborhood to even try to take a vote, as some of them have only one household and 3 community lots. My sims are making stuff on their home lots, many are rich enough in my main save that buying all the machinery hasn't been a problem. The individual lots are turning green rather than whole sections or whole neighborhoods. I'm okay with that. :)
