My most downloaded build (only 1,100+ downloads though) was actually my first ever build, base game modern mansion. I spent a lot of time on this lot because at the moment I'm still new to The Sims 4 and I'm just naturally a slow builder lol. I created a video showcasing the builds on my Youtube channel (that I barely take care of lol)
My most downloaded lot (over 16k), without a Maxis fav, is a karaoke. I built it years ago when CL was released. I have lots with Maxis Favs but this one stills surprise me. I love it, I built it for my gameplay and my own taste, but I do not understand why many people like it too. It is awersome that other players enjoy my lots as I do. I still play it, it is really functional, and many of my sims stories have happened there
Ohhh I love these, is there a minimum amount of downloads/likes to post here? I only recently jumped on the Sims 4 bandwagon (long time simmer since Sims 1) so I don't have very long on the forums
I don't upload very often, usually only if required by a challenge I've entered or if someone requests my Sims. I do build, A LOT, though and have many, many other builds I favor and feel are much better than my top downloaded on the Gallery. I've progressed over the years with practice. However, I do really like this older build created 3 years ago. It was built for round #88 of the BuildnShare Challenge - Fairytale Cottage. It has 123 downloads and 23 favorites.
The absolute top download across all my Gallery uploads is this guy, Ridge Everest who was curated by Maxis, my first favorite by them 5 years ago. He was created for the Micro Mini Build Challenge here on the forum. The curious thing about Ridge is he's an adult, not a young adult like most top downloads. Ridge went on to be my Strangerville Hero as a young adult with the paranoid trait. He now resides in my custom template save as a not-in-world Sim and I see him quite often as a co-worker for my other Sims in the Scientist career. Ridge has 13,919 downloads and 1,916 favorites.
Something I don't quite understand is why some builds will receive more favorites than downloads. Why? If you favorite something, why wouldn't you download it? Anyway, I was just curious if anyone had any insight into this because the build I did for Ridge in the challenge has 208 favorites but only 64 downloads. Technically, I guess it would be my most popular build, but not the most downloaded. *shrugs* Ridge lived in a slightly modified version of this build on the trailer park lot in Strangerville while he worked to solve the mystery as military personnel.
Thanks for posting this thread! I've enjoyed looking at all your lots, rooms and Sims. We have so many extremely talented creators in this thread, thanks to everyone for sharing! My builds are predominately much smaller and less elaborate than most, I love creating tiny, small builds, but I like looking at large detailed builds on the Gallery with my jaw dropped in awe.
Happy Simming!
EDIT: I apologize for the quality of these images. With the exception of the round image of Ridge they were all taken on an old toaster of a laptop before I was gifted a new gaming desktop by Hubby on our 34th wedding anniversary 2 years ago.

People often give favs to encourage the creator (especially when they are their friends). I often favorite something beautiful, interesting, creative that I'm not going to download. I just want to tell people that their creation is amazing.
Funny fact: my first uploaded sim got 87 hearts but only 5 (FIVE!) downloads.
Gallery is huge. It's really difficult for the person looking for some special creation and for the creator making such creations to meet. If you are not a popular creator, it's hard to get many downloads.
Your creations are awesome @Karababy52 (I love Storybook Cottage best of all)! Don't get upset and your fans will find you!
(I always tell that to myself. However, I still do get upset when my builds get few downloads. lol)
@chealsycat Thanks so much for replying to my question and your lovely comments about my creations. What you said makes perfect sense, I should've figured that out myself. lol Honestly, I don't upload in hopes of getting massive amounts of downloads, it's nice when it does happen though, makes me smile. In the beginning I only ever went online in game to upload for a challenge or request, as shared before. I had an old toaster of a laptop that was seriously underpowered. It only had 3 gigs of RAM, can you imagine? o.O
Now that I have a gaming desktop, I should upload more I guess. I have so many builds in my game that I just love and maybe others might enjoy them too. I might do that, if I remember. I still almost exclusively play offline. My game just runs so much better playing that way. Thanks too for the link to the Showcase Links thread. I have checked out that thread many, many times. Love looking at other Simmers builds. Some are so creative, very impressive!
My most downloaded gallery upload is my home recording studio. Name and Link in Gallery:Music Studio Origin id: QueenV815
It has 7 likes and 71 downloads which is tiny compared to many of all of your creations, but I'm proud of it
The color scheme could easily be changed by just using the design tool to change the rugs, chair, and keyboard. In order to upload it as a room, I used Move Objects On and placed the window and door, then removed the wall that held them. Picture:

right after I posted this, I actually got a Maxis fav which obviously drove the likes and downloads. Check out my mancave here with 811 Likes and 1,900 downloads Green Mancave
My most downloaded item is not a lot but my Rat Cat But she is getting knocked off the 1st spot today or tomorrow probably Because my latest builds are doing very well.

But the lot I'm really proud of - is my park Swan Lake, which wasn't fav'd but has now 800 downloads.
You can see the park in my video:

By far, my most downloaded lot is a small starter home that I only built and uploaded a week ago.
this has most favorites
Coincidence? I think not.
I think people just like this theme for rooms
wouldn't consider these all too exciting personally though
reminds me i haven't built room for sake of just room in ages
