I saw a lot of different threads where people put links and pictures of "The Store" items. I believe that it is time to create one thread which contains every broken item from "The Store".

Feel free to post link and one picture of broken item which you will find. I believe that long list of broken items in one place will be helpful in order to get updates for "The Store" much sooner.

List of broken "The Store" items and items which require an update:

1. Muntin Window * REQUIRES FIX *
2. Fences, stairs and gates from "Ultra Lounge" set * REQUIRES UPDATE *
3. Hands > Sands * REQUIRES UPDATE *
4. Simetry Seater * REQUIRES UPDATE *
5. Bed Barthelme * REQUIRES UPDATE *
6. II-Stand Hamper * REQUIRES FIX *
7. Vintage Rotary Phone * REQUIRES FIX *
8. Tropical Tiki Fountain * REQUIRES FIX *
9. Moroccan Oasis Fountain * REQUIRES FIX *
10. Faire Frog Fountain * REQUIRES FIX *
11. Tranquil Trickle Fountain * REQUIRES FIX *
12. Fun Time for Kraken Fountain * REQUIRES FIX *
13. Poseidon's Fury * REQUIRES FIX *
14. Fountain of the Sphinx * REQUIRES FIX *
15. Gothique Window * REQUIRES UPDATE *
16. Modernism Window * REQUIRES UPDATE *
17. Nega Door Archway * REQUIRES UPDATE *
18. Not So Private Study Door * REQUIRES UPDATE *
19. Flute Forward * REQUIRES FIX *

Thank you very much for helping me to maintain this list.

Muntin Window has "transparency problem with the wall". It is not real problem, but still...

Could I make the suggestion that there be a brief description of the Item's "brokenness" beneath the image?

Just a thought...

whats wrong with that window?

That's what I was thinking-I have it in game and it works fine. Although no clue what set it's from

and there is a little transparency problem with the wall, nothing serious!

At last I found this thread again. Forgot to bookmark it.

I do not say that it is the biggest glitch, but in my opinion it must be fixed. I am a bit perfectionist and I hate when from few angles you can see gaps. I know it was the same issue with few doors from Hewnsman set, window from gothic set and "Over The Shoulder Braid" haircut which has gaps at times from few angles in game mode too. It is a bit annoying. I would not say anything, but everything worked perfectly without any kind of gasps before updating my game to "Late Night" and since that day a lot of build mode items have those gasps. Personally, I do not like them...

Another problem would be that it is not possible to recolor fences and stairs from "Ultra Lounge" set. I love it, but I need to recolor them at times too.

"Indulgent Living + Luxe Loungewear" and one of the latest sets contain "empty" material. Installing items from the sets separately do not create an empty place at the end of materials from first category. I do not know if there should be a working material or not, but it should be fixed in both ways.

I will not talk about a lot of items in wrong categories like clock and bar chair from "Modern Minimalist"...

By the way, it is not possible to recolor the bottom of "Bed Barthelme" from "Modern Minimalist". It would be so awesome if I could to do this.

I posted ONLY minor problems which can be found in "The Story" and that is why I am asking your help to gather EVERY at least a bit glitched item. I am almost sure that EA would release "The Store" patch much faster.

What is more, "Full Ultra Lounge Youth Set" contains "II-Stand Hamper" which does not work. It is only decoration. As long as we already have workings hampers, this one must be fixed too.

* ATTENTION!!! * It seems that we will get first "The Store" patch really soon because with the latest update for the game there were added "ContentPatch" folder in "The Sims 3" saves folder.

Thank you. Your suggestion is perfect. Updated my own post with it

Anybody has complaints? Strange

If the store stops logging me out everytime I want to post,
change forum or look at set items I would be able to post sooner. When I play my game tonight will add. Some windows show up as cookie cutout blank spaces for no rhyme or reason.
Don't forget to add the new phone we got from Gen with no reciever or gameplay and the flute forward dress that everyone has been calling for help with for over 6 months or more.

I think there is something with a dress, something like the Flute_something.. I have seen another post with this dress not so long ago.

And the phone from Generation gift bundle :

One thing I have noticed that drives me nuts is that the new hair from the store often has issues showing up for every clothing category.

I really wish they carefully checked this before releasing these items.

All hair styles no matter what should be available for all clothing categories.

None of the water fountains from the store work. (The ones that come with the base game and EPs/SPs are okay and do function correctly.)

The following store fountains are not animated properly. They do not have trickling/cascading water coming out from their spouts or upper levels, like a "fountain" should have, and neither are there any sound effects.

Tropical Tiki Fountain
Moroccan Oasis
Faire Frog Fountain
Tranquil Trickle Fountain
Fun Time for Kraken Fountain
Poiseidon's Fury

In addition, two more fountains that were gifts for buying Sim point bundles do not work. They were called: Spring of Youth, and Fountain of the Sphinx. However, these are no longer available at the store.

The missing animations/sound effects on all these fountains is a shameful oversight. I doubt these fountains will ever be fixed. My advice is to not buy any fountains from the store.

Thank you for helping me to maintain this list. First post has been updated!

I had a chat with "EA Customer Support" and Tier 2 in order to grab attention of update's team on this thread. Now I am waiting for an answer from Tier 3 because none of the previous assistants were not available to help me with this issue.

Feel free to post not working "The Store" items in this thread. If Tier 3 do not grab attention on this thread of update's team, then I will close it, but as long as I do not have a negative answer, keep posting.

Have a good day today.
