This is for Lucy, who signed my guestbook yesterday on my Sims 3 Stories webpage. (I miss PM's 
). She wrote:
I think you make the most beautiful homes on the Exchange.Although I have downloaded all of them "successfully"- none show up in my game. I have tried to follow instructions given in the Forums- I have had no luck. I realize you are very busy- but if you could possibly help- or tell me where I might get better help- I would really appreciate it. I have spent the last 2 days trying everything I can come up with - with no luck... For now- I will go back to the Forum and try again.. thanks so much.
Lucy--I'm so sorry that won't show for you!! Unfortunately, I'm at a loss as to why this is. They don't have families attached to them, so they should show up in the house bin with an astericks on them. Do you have other houses that you have downloaded from the Exchange? Do they show up? Hmmmm...I don't do anything differently with my houses...I know that friends have downloaded them and they show up. That was how I found out that CC such as patterns that are not EA get replaced with alternate patterns if you don't have that particular pattern in your game. I have become more aware of what I put in my downloads, often now choosing patterns/content that isn't premium to help people out. If I have CC, I give links so that people can download the items if they would like them to show in the game.
Have you tried downloading all of my lots, or just the Tuscan ones? Are none of them showing up? I really can't fathom why that would be. I don't change the small pics on my lots, so the ones in the bin may look like a regular lot. Are you just overlooking them, thinking they are something else?
Does anyone over here have an answer for Lucy? Has anyone had this particular problem of downloading a lot and not having it show up? Has anyone else had this problem with any of my lots??
Lucy, I'm so sorry they won't show for you. Don't worry about me being busy...I really like helping people, and I know how frustrating something like this can be. Hopefully someone will have the answer for us. For now, I have to go to work...I'll check back in when I get home this afternoon and see if anyone has come up with anything...

I know they're probably checked this, but thought I'd mention it just in case.
So... no real idea what's wrong there
I was just happy that it weren't more lots than that one... until today I have no clue what didn't work...
I am a sims 3 Store Owner Thanks to all my Amazing friends here, and I do own all store stuff from sims 2 as well!
Thanks for all the input, girls! I really appreciate it (and I'm sure Lucy will as well). I asked over at the Chatterbox and the girls didn't have anything else to say other than they think she may just be overlooking it in the bin.
Asante: That's so odd (referring to the lot that wouldn't install). I wonder why that was. I know that my lots install, since I've had several people tell me they didn't have any problems and I've actually seen screenshots from other people who have used them. It just seems so strange that it's not just one, but all of my lots that she's having problems with. Once again, until she sees this and posts, I can only wonder about the specifics...
I'll keep checking around and checking back in for her. If anyone comes up with any more ideas, I'm sure she (and I) would appreciate the help. Thanks!
