The one thing I miss about SFP is you put a light in a room and BAM, the whole room is lit up perfectly. In Sims 3 you can put lights everywhere and get shades and shadows and contrasting colors. You can change the intensity and the color of the lights, which is pretty cool, but still it only lights up that one spot. There is a cheat (not a REAL cheat, a sanctioned cheat) for this. Hit Ctrl+Shft+C, type in "testingcheatsenabled true", then Ctrl_Shft+C again and type in 'buydebug on". When you go into build mode a "?" will appear. There you will find a whole bunch of ceiling and wall lights to light up your build that disappear when you go back into live mode. I was having difficulty with the wall lights until I learned that you have to TURN THEM AROUND! Only one side of them lights up.

There are a determined set of gifters over on the sims forums who want everyone to be able to 'own the store' like they already do. I have just been gifted Aurora Skies, which is a beautiful world that includes a hot air balloon and the ability to travel in it, sightsee, drink champagne and even...yes, woohoo.
