How Do I Know How Much of the Store I Own Here are a few ways to figure out what you own.
Crinrict's Sims 3 Store BrowserCrinrict developed a program/database to track your store purchases. You can download her
S3S Browser from her blog. (Her blog is a very useful resource for Sims 3.) Click on the S3SBrowser link in the menu bar to go to the downloads and tutorial pages. She also started a thread on the forum
S3SBrowser - A tool to keep your store purchases organised.
The S3S Browser does not install anything into your game; it simply checks your Downloads folder and DCBackup folders and marks items/sets as owned within the program. The opening screen shows the percentage of the store items you own. Note that her database includes discontinued or exclusive items, such as the Dr. Pepper set, that we will unlikely have the opportunity to ever purchase from the store. According to the program, I own 92% of the store and 99% of items with "a link to EA store specified". I do own 100% of items currently available in the EA store. In the S3S Browser, there is an option to manually mark items as owned.
A great feature on the opening screen is "List of not owned Items".
Kellycot1 The SimdexKellycot1 is a member of the I Own the Store Club. She created
a catalogue/checklist of the Sims 3 store in PDF format. This excellent check list has photos of the items that are categorized into sets and themes. You manually check off the items you own and add comments too.
Use the Sim 3 Website Search BoxUse the Quick Search box located at the top of the page, just to the right of your username. Select "Store" and then enter an asterisk in the "Search" box. The items you own are labeled "Owned". Those available for purchase show the number of simpoints to buy the item. You can refine the search results on the left navigation frame to show only certain categories.
Here are detailed instructions

* Note: Individual items, which are included in a compilation that is CYS but also in a subset that is not CYS, will show the orange check mark only in the set which is eligible for CYS. For example, World Inspiration Compilation, which is eligible for CYS, shows orange check marks on owned items, but the same items do not show a check mark in Africa Inspiration Collection which is not eligible for CYS.
Sometimes, items, which were received from Origin as a bonus for purchasing worlds or expansion packs, do not show as being owned.
- Calents confirmed that if you used a code from Monte Vista to get the Aims Co. Choc-O-Falls Fountain, it will not show as owned or count for CYS until you go through customer service to get it marked. The promo-code one is numbered differently from the store one.
- Rionismyname confirmed that when she purchased Seasons, she received Mother Russia free. The items in the set are shown as owned but not the set.
Create Your Own Spreadsheet
You can create your own spreadsheet based on your purchase history available on the Sims 3 site and using the information already collected by other Sims 3 site members. I have included links to some threads on the Useful Links tab on the DD Spreadsheet. Some excellent threads to check out are:
