I have no mailbox and the stoves won't work.
Solestri:
I downloaded a small community lot a while ago and re-zoned it as a residential lot. I moved a sim in and things seem fine, except that most cookiing appliances refuse to work on this lot.
My sim can cook ramen in the microwave but when a stove, toaster oven, or grill is placed on the lot, it acts as if the item can't be used. Making the appliance dirty in debug mode gives me the option to clean it, but nothing else. She has a few cooking points, so she should be able to make pop-tarts and TV dinners. I was beginning to wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that there is no mailbox.
Since this lot started out as a community lot, it doesn't have a mailbox on it. Oddly enough, this doesn't seem to have caused any of the major issues I thought it would. My sim runs a home business and visitors can come and go quite easily. I've been wondering if the lack of a mailbox was causing the game to treat this as a non-residential lot (hence the malfunctioning stove), but that doesn't seem to be the case as my sim can still sleep, gain skill points, and gets the newspaper delivered. And grills don't work, even though they should work on all lots.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? Will a replacement mailbox fix this, or is the lot a lost cause?

I don't know about the stoves, but you absolutely do need a mailbox and garbage bin for a residental lot to work properly. You can download them at modthesims2 I think. Just search mailbox and RTFM to make sure that the one you're downloading isn't just a worthless piece of deco. Its at least worth seeing if it fixes it before you burninate the lot. Although don't get this forum started on the problems one can encounter when downloading lots from the exchange. Laverwinkle is a good place to download non broken lots. But I'm cool so I don't remember the url right now.

I downloaded Frillen's collections and placed a mailbox back on the lot. (Thanks for the links! :) )
However, the stoves/grills/toaster ovens still aren't working... ???
