FYI: store icons not showing

Hello. I'm installing some of my store content and noticed not all of the store items show the store icon anymore. So if you're searching and searching for a store item and can't find it (like me) don't use the store sort option! 

The ones I couldn't find were the multitab and the swiftgro gardening station but had a look around and there are more. It's not a big deal once you know not to limit your search.

  • Now that is very concerning because I DO use the store sort to try to find things! No wonder I had no luck.  I believe I was looking for the Swift Gro gardening station, too. Wonder what made these items lose their tag?

    Anyway,  I have found that looking in the collection bin and the room sort bin when you just can't find something usually brings it forward - eventually. Thanks for this!

  • Jaletu​  If you have an EA App install, it's possible that the issue is that the Store content patches are in the game's program files.  I know this makes patched Store content lose the tag in the 64-bit Mac version but haven't checked an EA App install in Windows for this specifically.

    If you list a few items you've noticed are affected, I can compare those with my EA App (Windows and macOS) and Steam installs.

  • in the meantime you could take the time to make a collection or two of your own with store items, or like Jaletu​  said look in collections and you might see one already established that you know your item belongs to.

  • Sorry it took me so long to reply but I can't offhand think of any item by name that I'm missing or looking hard for and can't find. I just know that when I need something, I tend to use a lot of time locating it. Usually, it's right there! and I just didn't notice or see it. It's a little easier when I go to the room sort.

    I took the time to make my own collections with my last laptop and wouldn't you know it, I didn't transfer that over. So now I get to do it again. It does make it easier. I had them separated by holiday and season. Helped a lot.

  • Does anyone here know where the different coloured wedding cakes are? One of them comes in three different colours. I can only find the red-flowered white one, and the wider lemon-looking red-centred one which can also be bought at the grocery store. I'm sure there's a purple one.
