If you are like me, sometimes a person can be a completest when it comes to skills, harvestables, recipes, upgradeable items, etc. Unfortunately, some of these abilities and items can only be obtained by having the appropriate store content.
I am making this thread to collect all such information in one place. If there is a thread like this elsewhere, I apologize, and will delete it
Skills:These are skills introduced by Sims store content. They aren't as in depth as skills introduced in other expansion packs, but they do show up in your skill list.

Note: Where possible I included links for the individual item which brings it to the game, but some of them can only be purchased as part of a set.
RecipesThere are a few new store items that also adds to the recipes one's Sim may learn in game. Some of them require you to achieve a certain level in the Cooking skill.

Handiness UpradesThere are a couple more items available from the Sims 3 store which you can upgrade as well with a new Handiness Upgrade.
More Efficient
Available at Level 6, I believe, this reduces your bills even further when your windmills and solar panels are upgraded. You may wish to be wary of installing this as it may prevent your Handiness Upgrade list from reaching 100%
(You can obtain the Wind Reaper windmill and Heliosolaris III solar panel in the
The Toyota Prius Family Pack).
