Store Content won't show up in Exchange Lots

Hello
I have recently reinstalled Sim 3 plus all its EPs/SPs (patched to 1.67.) and subsequent some Store Content.
I have no problem using the Store Content itself ingame. But if I donwload a Lot from the Exchange which is using any Store Content, it will not show up ingame but is instead replaced by some default item (as if I would not have the item in question). I do not have the problem with items from any EP or SP, they show up just properly. It works even fine on EA lots, like the 'Bistro as Usual' Set, if I place the lot everything is fine, as soon as any Lot from the Exchange is using the same items, they get replaced.
I do have the same problem with Sims.
I already tried to delete any Cache Files (in fact I deleted the whole 'The Sims 3' file in my documents), still no show.
I'm using Windows 7 and 'Run as Administrator' for Sims 3.
Any help, hint or idea would be appreciated. Thanks.

We stopped checking for monsters under the bed when we realized they were inside of us.

Yes, precisely.
I do own the Store Content and I can place/use it myself. But if I download a lot/house which is using this exact store content I already own (and have installed) e. g. a painting, the painting gets replaced by a default one when place the lot/house.
So it 'acts' like I do not own the store content in question.
I was told the exchange is unpredictable this blog may help you
I do have the problem with all lots/sims from the exchange.
It may be something about your computer, the way the game is installed, what the Exchange does to lots when they are loaded, or downloaded, or something else entirely.
