My library upload shows misleading info

Ok, so here's the deal. I built a starter shell using base game and Growing Together. I saved the house in my library and there's info that Cottage Living has been used as well. So I filtered the items to that specific dlc in hopes I could replace/remove whatever it is that's been used. But there is nothing, not a single thing, I checked a few times. Apart from a fireplace and a few outside items there is only basic stuff - windows, doors etc, so it's really not that hard to see what's been used, and none of those things seem to be from the Cottage Living. 

Is there any other way to check used items apart from the filters? Any other suggestions? It's quite annoying and it's not the first time it happend. No mods or cc.

    SaigonMaru​  I'm glad you figured it out!  When this happened for me a few days ago, I rage quit because I couldn't find the culprit.  I eventually calmed down and found it but I was still annoyed.  lol  Happy Simming!

    Yes, I figured it out by accident when I started over. Turns out I've used a wallpaper recolor from Cottage Living and just didn't see it even though I've checked every section of the build mode a few times. Thank you for the step by step on checking used items though, I'm sure it will come in handy next time I mess up lol

    SaigonMaru​   Were you able to figure this out?  I'm just now seeing your post.  There are some items that are part of the Base Game but have color swatches from other packs.  I'm not aware of any from Cottage Living but I could have missed it  You can check for "items used" from using the pack logos displayed for your lot in the Library.  If the Items Used section is blank, that likely means there is one or more items on the lot with color swatches from Cottage Living.  As far as I know there is no way to search for these.  I recently had a similar issue with a Horse Ranch recolor for one of the Base Game stair rails.  It took a while to check each item but eventually I saw where the HR icon displayed on certain swatches.  Please follow these steps to first check for the Items Used, then update here if you found it or if it's blank.

    Start by going to the lot in your Library, then click on the Pack icon.  

    Then scroll to the bottom of the new window and click Show Items Used.

    The window will then update to show the items from that pack.
