The Sims 3 things missing on load up

I keep getting this notification about things being missing in the game. I have all the packs and items downloaded, but it keeps saying something is missing. I have noticed something missing, like the baby swing and toddler play pen I bought from the Sims 3 community website. It shows its download to the game, but when I start the game, I don't see it. Please help, I know that's not the only thing missing, but those are the two things I notice so far. How do I fix it? I even uninstalled the game and downloaded it back, and the packs and items, but it still didn't work.

    Thanks for replying. I just did what you said. The baby swing and the play pen came back. But it is still saying it's missing something when I load up. Maybe I missed something, but I followed it step by step.

    They have check marks by the packs, I assume they are loaded into the game. No, I don't know what else is missing. Also everytime I play the game I have to install the store contents back should that be doing that?

  • Neyalashia​  No, you shouldn't need to reinstall your Store content each time you play.  That's part of the point of installing into the new folder, and I don't know why it doesn't work for some players.  One other easy step you can try is deleting the SigsCache folder.

    If that doesn't help, is OneDrive running on your computer?  Are you using some kind of cleaner app that might be deleting temp files?  How much Store content do you own?  I don't need the number of items but rather the number of .ebc files in DCCache once you've installed everything (once).  Don't count the .tmp files towards the total, but let me know how many you see.

    For the expansion and stuff packs, please open a save and confirm that they're all loading.  Having them checked off isn't enough to confirm that they're working.
