Gallery BARELY WORKS

Cannot recall when it first began and obviously at this point things can clearly be brushed off as too much content for its servers to handle but has anyone noticed nowadays how the gallery rarely, if ever, works properly? Or at all?
If it was a computer issue I'd understand, however even the gallery on the sims 4 site doesn't work most attempts and I just have to bring it up in hope someone from the Sims 4 team sees it and tries to repair things.

I do agree that it's probably just really weighed down now with so much content and so many users. I actually started downloading my favorites to my library because it can be a hassle to try to sift through them nowadays.
Everything, and I mean that in the literal sense, if it won't connect then I can't search for anything as LiELF's comment explained, Plum forbid I can, then it's a mess of the most popular and then the newest a line down even if I've ticked the MOST POPULAR option.
To sound like I'm whining, It's just everything! And I do mean EVERY. THING. Even the POPULAR NOW options throw up a corrupted combo of the mild favorites and then something posted maybe 2 moments ago, which points at their servers maybe not handling deliveries of data and logging them right, which again, I'm not surprised if it were the case, however as a poor excuse for a builder, the gallery is where I go to find my sims a house, or bar or club, somewhere to spend their time, otherwise they have to put up with my disasters, and for years the sims team promoted the gallery, and still do, even though it's barely functional!
I can 99% assume the console version is near enough the same, if by some miracle it isn't and console simmers can freely download whatever they wish without issues.
Mine makes me think I've been banned! Or blocked as certain accounts content simply won't appear or appears in pieces, even Maxis!
It's been an issue long before the app! seemed to be around last year/mid last year, with all the updates it's a fair assumption to point that as the root cause
same for me. and also the pack selection thing mentioned happens for my as well.
This perfectly describes my experience as well, and I'm having similar problems with the Build Mode search. Even when I type in the exact name of an item, more often than not, I end up on a catalogue page somewhere near the item and still have to look for it, usually by scrolling up a bit. It seems like everything is a little overloaded these days.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
> Setting aside the "I'll show you all the packs so you buy more" filter shenanigans, the galley is a mess for me. It’s extremely slow, the popular filter only shows the same old stuff because the other filters are not enough to make it budge. When I search in tags it doesnt return results or it buffers for ages and then returns crossed out results. I stopped using it and rely on whatever I have saved, I can't stand it.
This!!! I'm incredibly frustrated because I just want to view the creations that ONLY have content from packs I already own, and there is no way to do that. You would assume that's what selecting the "Show Owned" option would do. But no, that function is basically useless. On top of the frustration it slows down my loading time SOOO much. I basically never use the gallery because of it.
This! Yes! And news! I miss news. Now I often forget that the gallery is there at all.
And yes, to those of you who find the "show owned" feature lacking. It is! From what I understand it's not intended to work differently either, which is worse. It is actually by design!
Progress. This simmer is impressed
Really? For me the gallery works just fine, but I still have no news section, tags or followers.
