Store items are displayed as base game items in the buy mode

As the title suggests, some of the Store items in the buy mode are shown as base game items. There is nothing wrong with the functionality of these items, like they still work properly and give appropriate moodlets and whatnot. It is not just the missing icon thing either, the filtering also doesn't work. These items do not show up when you click on the yellow simoleon icon at the right, or use the "Filter Content" button to view only Store content. I use those filtering options all the time whenever I want to quickly find a Store item, but it simply doesn't work because of this.

It is not just the Sauna btw. You can see in that pic there are other Store items that are also this way. Like the hot tubs, the gardening thing, the routine machine, and so on. It is also not exclusive to this category, all kinds of random items from the Store are shown as base game items.

Is there a way to fix these?

I am on patch 1.69 if that matters.

Thanks <3

  • To those that wants to know, this issue appears to be a 1.69 exclusive glitch. Since the Store patches (ContentPatch.package) are part of the base game in the 1.69 version, the game somehow thinks that every object that is patched by that package is part of the base game. Moving that package to where it is in 1.67 versions (Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ContentPatch) fixed this issue for me.

    If anyone comes here looking for answers, this is the solution that worked for me.
