Missing Item

As I've been browsing in build mode, I've noticed an item missing from the Get to Work EP. The item is "Backlit Screen Print Sign From Andres Big Banners". I noticed when I placed a lot from the gallery with said item on it in my game. The item shows up on the lot; I can move it, resize it, change the color, and delete it but I cannot clone it. A message pops up saying "nothing here can be cloned". I tried searching it in the catalogue but it doesn't exist. I've tried everything, cleaning the cache and all the files. I made a new save game and even uninstalled the whole game and reinstalled it. Am I the only one with this problem? Is it my game, or is it a glitch from a patch update? I haven't noticed anything else missing.

Found it! It's an retail item, so it's found when making a shop.

When you change the lot type to retail:

And then look at the retail items:

You'll see the banner, and you'll be able to clone it.

I guess it's one of those items EA didn't really saw a need for outside of the 'retail' environment, maybe you'll also find it on other type of lots. But that's where that one is hiding!

Thank you for your screenshots, it really helped with locating the item. Hope you'll also find the banner now :eahigh_file:

Could you post a screenshot of the item? Could it be that it's one of the invisible items? Do you have the name of the lot you downloaded, so I can download it in my game?

The lot is named "Three Star Cinema". It's a 40x30 lounge. (Sorry for any of the bad quality images.)
This is what shows up when I click on it and move it. (So this is what should show up in the catalog but it doesn't.)
This is where the sign is in the original place on the lot.
This is the item in a different spot and the color changed.
This is me trying it search for it in the catalog.
And like I said when I try and use the copy tool it says "nothing here can be cloned" I couldn't get a picture of that though. This lot has plenty of this item on it this was just one example.
