You're welcome!! I just happen upon the update myself a little while ago while searching on bug issues on Answers HQ.
I didn't experience the furniture disappearing, however I did experience some interesting glitches last game I played while in build/buy mode that have been fixed now. Though I didn't save that specific game, as I though with build/buy mode stuff glitching, It wasn't a good idea to save. Skill books have been fixed.
I was actually surprised to see skill books broken, but happy to see it fixed rather quickly.
