Help me find Gallery submissions that don't use stuffpacks?

I'm downloading lots of lovely builds from the gallery to replace all the maxis builds in all the neighborhoods. (only neighbs I miss are strangerville and outdoor retreat) Aaand lots of lovely sims from the gallery to put into these builds.
Now, I don't really like stuffpacks. None of them really appeal to me, at least not content wise. I'm frugal so for me to spend money on something as benign as extra furniture I have to be IN LOVE with the furniture and majority of the pack.
Unfortunately a lot of gallery stuff I see has creators that use a gazillion stuff-packs, and I can't filter the gallery to EXCLUDE stuffpacks (probably because to EA it's advertisement for them to appear in the gallery, and no corporation is going to remove free adds even if it annoys their customers)
I've tried going through the gallery, but it gets really tiresome and discouraging to go through an endless storm of submissions JUST to try and filter out the ones without stuff-packs. It's a big pain in the backside really, so that's why I made this thread. (even when I search on #basegame there are still plenty of results that use stuff-packs unfortunately, and not many people use #nostuffpacks)
I'm looking for creators that don't use stuffpacks in their submissions to the gallery!
Game packs are fine.
I really love it when creators use only 1 or 2 packs or only basegame, and just fill up the rooms with NOCC paintings.
I really hate when I see amazing sims, but then if I download them they walk around in their underwear because they are fully clothed in stuffpacks. And I'm a perfectionist so when I dress a sim or make a build I spend an insane amount of time making it GOOD. Which is why I appreciate it so much when someone else makes amazing submissions so that saves me time, and not to mention I'm just not as talented as some haha! But that can't happen if I have to dress a sim myself because of all the stuffpacks that I'm not interested in.
So please share with me the creators you know that submit content without the use of stuff-packs?
Or if not creators, a build or a sim that you really love that doesn't use any stuff-packs?
You can tell me the title of the build/sim or a hashtag that the creator uses so I can find their creations in the gallery!

Also, I have a couple base game builds. My Gallery ID is the same as on here.
Hmm, I didn't know that. It didn't used to be that way (if I remember correctly) but I haven't used that filter in a long time.
As to answer your original question, I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that doesn't use stuff packs. A helpful thing is to see what items are used in each build. You can click on the stuff pack that was used and it will show which items were used. Some builds and sims only use one or two items (and sometimes not important items).
Thanks for telling me about the ability to see the stuff pack items that were used, I didn't know that. It was a little hard to find even, because when you click on the stuff packs used in the gallery item it initially just shows all the items in the stuff packs. There is a little white button above it (very easy to miss) that can be clicked to "show items used" and THEN it shows which items were used. Of course I'm not going to be bothered to do that if a gallery item uses 5+ stuffpacks, because that's 5 times clicking the button and going through the items. A lot of extra unwanted hoo-haa, but it's convenient if it's only 1-3 packs or if I'm really impressed with an item.
I agree that is something that needs to be fixed. What the point of having it if it doesn't do do what it's supposed to do?
I only just learned about that feature about a month ago. I meant only for one or two stuff packs not all of them but I understand it's time consuming.
I just thought of someone who does limited pack builds, Doctor Ashley. I'm not sure if her Gallery ID is the same as her YouTube channel but you can search. She also does budget builds....or used to. I haven't watched her in a while.
Not the original poster but I love them. How can I find them in the gallery.
As for the filyers! I wish it were fixed too. I don't have vampires or rom but if i filter those packs out most builds I see still use them
AllyKatz77 and I just rebuilt from scratch a home on Oakenstead (using basegame only items) its a tad expensive tho, but I did not mean it to be, lol, and thank you, I had never made anything using only Basegame, it was harder than I thought it would be, I do not know how to share an image of the house on here, I just took a screenshot of them so I knew how to get that. I could take some screenshots but it is 2 level, but has no MOO and NO CC
Oh and they were called BaseGame Couple or something like that, but AllyKatz77 is my name on there, thanks again so much
Thanks! I'll download them as soon as I get onto the computer
thank you! I am really glad you liked them
I also have a base game + game pack only rebuild of Selvadorada as a whole.
My gallery ID is the same as my username here. If you do search stuff on my gallery profile, I've noticed the older stuff doesn't show by default so you need to filter by lot size/price and they'll show up.
Alternatively, you could have a scroll through my showcase on tumblr (my forum showcase isn't up to date unfortunately) - mind though, don't so this on mobile, tumblr works better on a pc.
If I wasn't on mobile myself right now, I'd give more (direct) links, but for now I'll just give my main tumblr link: https://mdianasanders.tumblr.com
As for pack free households, I don't have many (if any) of those unfortunately.
@MDianaSanders I checked out your gallery, aaand:
when I search it for #basegame all I get is BG Plants Normal
when I search for #basegameony all I get is 30 and 32 Lake Crescent
I think maybe something is wrong with the search function? From the sound of your post there should be more results.
I'll give a few direct links later when I have access to my PC.
A rebuild of the Von Haunt estate that uses only base game and Get Together - Gallery Link
And a church that uses only base game and Get Together - Gallery Link
A few houses using only basegame and Cats & Dogs
78 Brindleton Boulevard

And a bunch of just basegame builds:
Family Starter Cottage

241 Beech Street
239 Beech Street
Creative Canvas Museum
Perfect Parchment Library
7 Birch Road
9 Birch Road
5 Birch Road
55 Cactus Cove
56 Cactus Cove
57 Cactus Cove
58 Cactus Cove
59 Cactus Cove
167 Tumbleweed Road
165 Tumbleweed Road
168 Tumbleweed Road
166 Tumbleweed Road (I can't get this link to work right now
164 Tumbleweed Road
I'll leave it at this for now, there is more though. I've also built neighbourhoods for Newcrest, a couple of under 10K starter homes, remakes of TS2 and TS1 builds etc.
I've found that if you go to my Gallery page and just filter "Lots" on the left side (under "Category"), it will show you all of my lots (if you scroll down), including the older ones, a lot of which are basegame only. The search function seems to only show newer uploads unfortunately.
Thank-you
Oh they look great! I am so glad you like them, thank you so much!! Much fun to you!
