[9.01] Notes

The references to the weather are based off The Sims 2 Expansion Pack, 
Seasons, which introduced the concept of weather. This is also one of the 
only Stuff Packs which did not attract heavy criticism against Electronic
Arts, the other is H&M Fashion Stuff. 

Also, the addition of the new cakes will help those who already have the Open
for Business Expansion pack, which allows the player to fully stock a bakery
with more baked good. There also include more clothes to choose from as well
as more wallpaper and tiles as always.

Based on the introduction of Nightlife, the concepts of parties, well, house
parties has been revived. The concept of social outings prove much more
interesting at first, but Celebration Stuff can really help bring back the 
party vibe back to the parties, which probably gives out more Aspiration 
Points as well as influence points.
