Can't find favourite couch in game

Hi there! I've been playing sims 3 for many years and have had a favourite couch for a while now (dark blue with cushions) I've recently had to reinstall the game, and after installing all my custom contents and other extras I still cant find the couch. Will include a photo of what it most closely resembles if anybody can help. Thanks!!

    I'll keep looking, I have 95% of the store.I'm sure I have it.Could it possibly be an expansion item and not a store item?

    How about this one? I recolored the pillows so you could see it better

    Edit: I just looked through the store and there isn't any couch that resembles the one you posted nor any that are deep blue all over unfortunately.

    I own all expansions and stuff packs and I didn't see any that are deep blue.

    Are you 100% sure its not CC that came with something you downloaded from the exchange?

    Here's a good example, this medieval bench I have is CC, but if you look in my couches next to the supernatural one,

    the game marks it as store content.Could this be what's happening with the couch you're wanting? That its being mismarked?

    Definitely could be from a lot I downloaded and no longer have because of the reset. Never thought it was in an expansion because it had a store icon, but have scoured the store myself too. How exactly can they have items that aren’t from the store though? I’ve never understood that

    Thanks for doing so much searching @graceymanors, you're having a lot more success than I could.

    @Tempsqa97  Some custom content does come with a store icon, for whatever reason.  I've seen it in other items I've downloaded recently, and those items also don't show up when I filter for cc only, but they do show up when I filter for store stuff.  And some store content doesn't come with a store tag, or any tag at all.

    Did you get a chance to look at the thread I made on the officials?  A few posters had suggestions there too.  It would be great if you could respond there, even if to say those aren't the couches you're looking for.

    If CC, sometimes items get miscatagorized.But I don't know if that's why the store icon shows up on it.

    Expansion/Stuff pack items shouldn't have a store icon.So if you remembered a store icon, it most likely isn't a pack item.

    My pleasure.Though I'm afraid, I'm out of ideas XD

    And I misread the first post and thought they were trying to find that particular couch lol
