I saw many room in gallery with many dishes (i.e. experimental dishes) on it, so I'm planning to create one of my own, but I couldn't, I got just an empty room. Is there anyway of creating such a room?
Maybe by using the debug items? If you use the cheat 'bb.showhiddenobjects' you get a whole load of items in buy mode that you don't normally see and there are some food items in there. They wouldn't be anything more than decorative I think. I've never tried it myself but it might be worth a try.
I did a lot with the 27 dishes. You can not upload it in a room. It has to be uploaded as a lot. Hope this helps you out. You can find my lot under mcrudd in the gallery
Workaround note to get the food for your Soul Cake gathering: I saved a ‘residence-room’ (in the gallery, called “Soul Cake Christmas Food”) with the food but needed to save the room as a residence. This seems to be the only way to get the food (aside from fruit) to upload and download in the gallery. So… you can download the lot with the food, have one sim move out and buy the lot with the food room put the food in their personal inventory, bulldoze and sell the lot, then have them move back in. Use or refrigerate the food right away, though, or it will go bad. A lot of work for food, but maybe not if you don’t have a sim with the cooking skills.
