Party/Social Boat

I don't use Facebook so the default neighbor is my only option. It has worked pretty good until a recent update, where all of the houses were updated but I have noticed there are no phones in any of the houses, also magazine is gone. Not sure if I am missing anything else because I like getting the social points but when I can't find the item I use my LP points. Not sure if anybody else that has used the default neighbor has noticed this too, wanted to get it out and hopefully fixed. I really have enjoyed the Sims Freeplay.
