The majority of the store items are purely cosmetic in nature, though some items offer new types of sim-interactions.
These so-called “store items” were released monthly, between July of 2009, until August of 2014. What is known as “The Sims 3 Store”, are the micro-transaction-based items for The Sims 3, which were released somewhat independently from the main line of The Sims 3 games.
