Hey modding friends - I wanted to get some feedback and comments from you about how the gallery matters to you and your Mods & CC. Now that it's available through more than just the game (web gallery for example) do you find you link to it more? Is it helping you share your CC or Mods? Do you wish you had other features or capabilities? Is there something different you'd like the gallery to be doing for you? I've been really excited to see how people are using the gallery in general but you, as modders & CC users, might be looking for some other features or elements that wouldn't come up in the general conversations or threads. Thanks!

What has happened with the lot categorization? It is not persistent and have to be reset by going in the lot, place the lot and if you set the lot's category, it's not set from manage world. You have to go back in and set it again. Can be a bother if you are setting up a new world, the constant going in and out is lots of wasted time.
I will admit, having the gallery on the website lets me link to things much easier now! Love that addition!

this must change if we can share our creation the downloader shall receive the used CC too
Old joke based on the Peasants revolution in England.
But in case you have missed it, your players are talking much the same, and there is even talk, but very quietly, about boycotting all EA products. How would your shareholders feel about the loss of profits, but this is just a theoretical question, as I know the answer.
Your problem is two-fold. One is the copyright issue which most call stealing, but it is really copyright and loosely identity theft, where one puts on a sim or build and another takes this and re-uploads this creation as their own work. While I do not care about downloads nor about rec’s, most on the sims games judge themselves by both counts, and this re-upload takes their downloads away when the other gets downloaded. You really need to get a handle on this, as it has been going on for far too long.
The other thing is poses and images now being classed as CC. And yet you maxis favourite CC sims. This is a little hypocritical of you methinks, and it has caused a hornets nest which may or may not pass. Yes I have used the poses and the Sims 4 Tray to change the pictures, but just so I know how it works. If you do not want CC then ban all CC, no sims nor rooms nor builds with CC at all, or you accept it. Personally I would ban all CC, but I do not use any anyway. Further to this having my work now classed as CC when I do not use any CC at all is all but slander. But the call has now begun for you to make a “Legal” image changer for everyone, as you made the clothes changer in 2 and pattern maker in 3. Let us face it, some of the pictures are so abysmal on some of the plots that you need to change the pictures so people can see the build.
Yes I know what you are going to say, the pattern maker was abused with images including 🐸🐸🐸🐸 and race hate, and yes the tray has the ability to also be abused with any image being used instead. And if this is the case you really need to inform everyone in the forums and on the news why you do not
Want to have an image changer. This will stop the whining before it starts.
But if you do create a image changer then you need to have a really detailed, very basic step by step guide on how to use it, with a massive warning that any abuses of the changer will result in a ban from all EA sites and the licences will be revoked, so they will have to re-buy all and any EA games which they would like to play.
Yes some of the current poses are just wrong for the pegi 12 rating, while others are just no. So maybe another “legal” pose maker, this will completely level the playing field, if you then ban all 3rd party CC, making it so that the item can not be up-loaded at all. Again with a detailed step by step instruction, and knowing some on the sims site, very detailed basic step by step.
And yes more than once I have said about boycotting all EA products, and not buying anything from you, but this time it was not started by me, but more than likely what I have said in the past has stuck with some.
> Can someone please help me. Recently people have been sharing their creations and when I click to view it, it doesn't show the normal photos of the front, then the floors etc. People have been using custom photos of each room and adding their username onto the pictures and things like that. Is that a mod? I really want to do it but I can't find any mods for it.
Your items will now be classed as CC, and while it is not CC but there are a few around like svlyn2 and luckyheather or possibly me but again I will say this. Your stuff will be classed as CC. but download GIMP2.8 as a start and then find the sims 4 tray inporter online, sorry I can not post the link.
Download the translation first and then read the step by step. If you need further help svlyn2 or luckyheather or me in origin (when I am online).
I hope this helps, and have fun, and play with it.
I like to view the gallery in web browser rather than in game as some days I just want to look for something rather than play and it's not worth loading the game up. BUT you have no option to view custom content in the web browser version of the gallery, there's no CC check box like the in game gallery. I can't view my own CC sims in this way or other sims that might have CC. I would really like an option to view CC in the web browser.
