Store Items disappearing from build/buy inventory

[Joria]

For some reason strange items I do not recall purchasing or downloading have appeared but several more items I KNOW I have bought are gone.  Items in particular are from the children's furniture series with wild animals.  Other items, counters, bath room items and more.  Can your downloads get too full?  Is there a limit?  I'm going online now to redownload the missing items and see if they re-appear.

I have not had that problem as of yet, but there seems to be weird things happening.  I am just wondering if there was something else that came from the exchange that is messing with peoples games.  I have not really checked, but I do remember seeing things that I had not purchased and really do not know where they came from, unless it was something that was attached to something else, that has happened before.  Sometimes if you purchase an item, there might be something else that is attached.  Will have to keep our eyes open.

Last time I was on the phone with EA I asked if there was a limit to downloadable items and the rep I spoke with said "there was no limit".  I remember with the original Sims there was a limit.  I am not sure about your problem though, I have not had that happen to me (knock on wood) yet.

The only things I've downloaded from the exchange are lots built by our members since they don't use third party cc.  Except maybe some of the newer members HAVE used third party cc and didn't know our usual thing of don't do it.  Being new they may have built an item before they were here and I unknowingly downloaded some with their lot.

 I really hate losing the things I bought and paid for, that is really my main issue.  Particularly something I use a lot, like the kids furniture.  I checked my installed content tab and many of the items show up there and do show up online as having been already owned but they simply don't show up in game.

Joria,

Once or twice I've had a store bought item look like it was missing. I've just downloaded it again from the "Purchase History" portion of the store and re-installed it, and then it showed back up.

Are you familiar enough with the paths to find out where your downloads are (I mean the actually folder they are stored in)?

I have this happen sometimes, too, Joria.  I just download the missing items from the Store again and it's fine.
