    I hope this finds you all well. I have this problem too. I actually had the content: the register, paw doors and windows, the bone rug, the bone sign, etcetera, when I initially installed it on a blank slate game. I bought the fish tank. I should have bought everything custom to the pet swap shop right then because I still have the tank. I want to redownload it, and am hoping for a way to find the code that it has to uninstall it instead of re-installing all my Store content again. I tried to find a Mod to repair it, but it has been of no use. Repair Game doesn't fix it, uninstalling the game doesn't fix it, only reinstalling the pet swap shop does, and that only works for a session. If you know how to find the codes for the items on the store, I would really appreciate it if you shared it with me so that I may be able to do this fix in a night, rather than two entire days. Thank you, and have the best night and day!

    @darkdrea  If the Pet Shop venue has a microwave where the register should be, that likely means the register is not installed at all, so your game replaced it with another object that it thinks is similar.  (The microwave seems to be the consensus replacement for the register, but why is anyone's guess.)  When it's installed, you can find it in build (not buy) mode, under community objects/misc.

    If you can't find the register, you may have a bad install or even a corrupt TS3 folder. You can test this by pulling your existing game folder out of Documents and onto your desktop and then launching the game to spawn a new one.  After you quit, you can download only Graham's pet shop into this new folder, and then start a new game so see if the register appears.  If it does, you can transfer your saves and other content into the new folder from the old one.  You will need to redownload and reinstall your store stuff, unless you want to go through all of your .ebc files to find out which one contains the store.

    It’s not there. I too have this problem of not finding the cash register. I have the limited edition and placed Graham’s pet shop but there is no cash register and instead a microwave on the counter. The build mode misc objects doesn’t show the petshop cash register nor does debug.

    @onica432  The Exchange items may not work as noted and only the creator knows what was used to create the item. As far as the pet store register - you need to have the limited version and the register should be located in the build mode - community.
