Meet the little Fixed Icon: . This is stuff, EA actually fixed. You will need to redownload any Store items.

Please post if you know about a faulty item (but please wait a little while until I'm done updating).

If you know about any threads that deal with solutions, let me also know.

If you want more items to be fixed, sign the petition: Store Items Should Get Updated *Petition*

Twallan made a mod that can help with the categorization issues. The Dresser lets you maintain an invalid parts list and replaces the outfits for Sims that are wearing those. Still looking into the details and you will need some basic tuning knowledge. Details to follow. erbkaiser has made a invalid_parts tuning file that corrects most of the miscategorizations with the Store items. You can find it here: erbkaiser's InvalidParts Tuning. File as-is. No support given.

General Problems
- Wall lights that are from before LN can't be shifted up and down
- There are probably more counters & fences that have the re-coloration problem.
- Stairs that came out before they made them recolorable are all still non-recolorable. (Patch 1.5)

crinrict

Wall Coverings/Wall sets
The left and right edges of the "Simple Paneling with Crown and Baseboard Moulding" are slightly different in brightness, so that when put together on the wall you see the alternating brightness all around the room. This is the set used in the store picture for the "Glitter and Glam" bedroom set.

General Problems
- The HELS aquarium and the fish bowl don't show all of the LN fish

World Adventures
Hidden tomb door (WA) shows holes in the walls--> reported by gobot1236

Questionable items
- Those male shoes from FL look kind of girly. What do you think ? Should they be categorized for sleepwear only cause they are actually slippers or should they be female only ? (I don't have FL, so I can't form an opinion myself).

OK. Bed time. Done for now. Will update German names tomorrow. The links should work regardless.

If you have anything more, please let me know.

MrHawk

I like your idea. Thank you for starting this thread.

Jojo777

Thanks so much for starting this! This will definitely help people who are trying to decide if they should download certain items from the store

Not unless they are causing you the issues stated.

Examples:

If you have townies runnign around in the Scuba shoes...then yes remove them

If the Cellar Arch crashed your game when you try to place it...then yes remove it

ETC.

I would wait on Crin for a better answer, but I think i might be on the right track

Banky007

you forgot that you can't get the Make Simbot Invention Opportunity pop up in Bridgeport...

As Alex said, that really depends if it bothers you. With the recolorable thing for example - I don't mind too much, also it doesn't bother me that the wall items pre-LN are not up-down-shiftable. Someone else might find that a major pain.

So I say: If it's an issue for you, uninstall, if not, leave them BUT I would certainly not spend any SP on those items. If they come with a set you really want, I would be ok but don't buy them as single items.

here is a link to my FB group pictures, there is a few errors that I have found, u should be able to see them even if u don't have a FB account. the terrain bleeding through the road is in all my Riverview hoods (

forgot to add link lol here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=58215&id=144841235527464

In Riverview, there is a terrain paint that surrounds the 2 story warehouse by the science facility, and it also surrounds the indoor community pool. It is a diagonal stone pattern with weeds in between the cracks. It's a really nice terrain paint, however it can't be found in the catalog, and if you move a lot with that paint on it to another town, that paint disappears.

Another issue: In Twinbrook, across from the science facility is a warehouse similar to the one in Riverview. It doesn't show up as a lot, you can't build on it or delete it. It has no map tag.

fleshjenn

theres a pirate outfit that shows up in swimwear, I think it came with the set not the world. buts its rather annoying that half the people swim with boots on now.

crinrict

Could you tell me which one ? The Set can be found here: http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?scategoryId=12666&productId=OFB-SIM3:23566&startAt=0

I've updated the list with some other stuff I found in my bug thread.

Can't really tell you. Someone in the german forum pointed that out. I don't have the set. I'll go check if there was some extra info.

@MSladyTSO: Will add in a moment.

Thanks for starting this list
- There are some shoes from FL that show up in male but look female to me (my sims won't be wearing them).
- I think the pirate outfit and boots as swimwear were in the set but could be with Barnacle Bay (couldn't find them separately).
- The indulgent living set had no info associated with the items when released. I've downloaded again but some items are still not fixed.
