The update really made the game better! I like how the relationships between sims have changed. Now the house is noisy with conversations and it makes the atmosphere more lively. It was very frustrating to watch sims constantly doing household tasks as if no one was around them. Before, it was more like cohabitation.
I also noticed changes in the business. My sim now performs work on their own. I don’t need to constantly force them to cook, even though the responsibilities are set correctly. Also, the prepared portion is divided into smaller pieces. On one hand, this is convenient because the plate doesn’t stay on the table after use and it’s easier to fill the refrigerators. The only thing is, I noticed that the profit has decreased and based on the post Baked goods cannot be put on sale as a whole anymore (only portioned) - after Birthday Update it might be related. I would like this to be fixed.
And finally, they added a birthday party! This was really missing.
