Why Won't Most of My Custom Content Appear in a Shop's Buy Mode?

Hi there,
I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just got OFB, and I was all excited to make a toy store. I downloaded tons of teddy and bunny bear recolors, dollhouse recolors, dolls, stuffed animals, all the toy downloads I could find. They all work great in the game, but once I get onto a lot, I can't find most of these things in the shop's buy mode. The recolors of the Wobbly Wabbit and toy chests that I downloaded are there, but not my dollhouse recolors and some others. And none of the non-recolor custom content, like the dolls or the giraffe stuffed animal, show up at all. Is there anything I can do to change this, or is that just the way it is? Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it!

If you are in a community lot, you may hae to go into wholesale mode.  You click on the lock near the set for sale button and wholesale mode is on.

Why yes it is.

Hi, Geekily!  With OFB, the whole Buy Mode on community lots has been expanded.  When you're looking for merchandise to sell, try using the basic at home catalog rather than the community catalog.  It makes it so much easier!  I have a toy store, too, and like you there are many custom-made objects in it--all the toys I could find to download!  It's a pretty spiffy-looking store now, too, although they could use a little more stock.
