gallery and library issue

112061

Hi all, I am not sure what or how to explain..it used to be I could build a bunch of houses then have my sim walk in the neighborhood and I could click on them and move in a family from the library, however, i downloaded a bakery from the gallery and it required me to be online, i always play offline, now every time I try to move in from the library it makes me connect online to the gallery. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello
To download a bakery from the Gallery and place it in the game, you would need to be online as you are accessing the community gallery .
If you moving in a sims household from the community section of the gallery, you woild also need to be online.
If you have already saved the sims household to your library, then you should be able to move sins from your library into the game without being on line .

@rosemow yes, but ever since I downloaded the bakery, each time I go to click on the library icon thing it tells me i have to go online, i have no option to just open the library without being online, its strange

Hello
You shouldn’t need to be online to go into build Mode in the bakery or to visit it in live mode.
Try build dozing the lot. Then place it again and see if the issue remains.

I don't think I'm explaining correctly, I'm playing a sim in live mode and walking past the empty house, I used to be able to click on it and it would let me move in a household from the library, now when I click on an empty house while walking by, it says I must go online to access the gallery. The only way I can move sims i have saved and created and worked on for years into houses i painstakingly build for them is to move them to an empty lot, cheat to get enough money, then buy it. I cannot find any way to move them into a house (because of the money they start out with) I just built for them. Its just a pain at the moment because first i built all the different houses, then was going to move the families in and start playing

Hello
If you turn on the cheat
freerealestate on
Then go to the library, you can place the household into the home whatever the cost of the house is.

that doesn't resolve the issue of having to connect to be online in order to place any households

rosemow

Hello
I am sorry that you are having this issue. You shouldn’t need to be online to place Households from your library. You would need to be online if you want to place them from the community section of the gallery, but not from the library.
Check to make sure that in the Origin settings you are in offline mode.

112061 I think you are linking to the home page or community page, If you open the gallery and click on your library page and leave it on library, you should no longer have to link to the gallery. I don't know if that makes sense. But it would seem as though you have opened the gallery page to download and the game remembers that. Once you go back into the library page the game should remember that as the page you are on and therefore not require online mode.

The problem I am having with the gallery is that it is making duplicates. Also that I can delete the duplicates, but they are back whenever I go back into the gallery.

Hello
Is this occurring when you are playing the game on PS4 , and there are duplicates in your library?

Can you tell me how to actually start a new thread? I don't see any options. Do I have to have a certain number of post's first or something?
