Something we don't have but other players' have.

It can happens a lot, when you downloaded a house from any simmer's studio. When you use the house in game, you realised some furnitures seems a bit strange in the house, either in wrong position or looking out of place. That is because you don't have the store/EP/SP items in your game while the house's creator has in theirs. The Sims 3 automatically replaces those missing items from items our game has.

But it's easy for us to replace those items again if we try. Especially those simmers who took captures of their uploaded houses and blog them.

For example this Lime (starter house) from Imoger :
http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=3650966

I downloaded and installed it in game, this is how it looked like in my game (as I don't have those listed store items)

This is after I replaced those "missing store items"

As you can see, it's quite easy to replace those items and give the house the same feeling as the original house's photos shown on creator's blog. So please don't feel discouraged when you want to download a house but stopped just because you see that house has store/EP/SP items you don't have :-) Give it a bit make over, that's all it will need!

Happy Simming, guys and girls~
