What would you change if you could?

I dont own much dlc and i rely heavily on the gallery for lots. But so many people own majority of dlc so its near impossible downloading a lot without having invisible objects, walls, plants, wallpaper etc that belongs to a pack I dont own.

I also try using the filters. If i put for example dine out, they will show lots that include dine out AND and other dlc. I want it to show lots that exclude all others except dine out. Otherwise the filter is useless to me.

Most of the time i just have to use "base game only" to find stuff.

    Tweak the packs filter for sure. Even when you select to only show owned packs used, it still shows others as well.
    I would also like a world filter and a rooms filter. And maybe even an extra hashtag.

    It's a marketing tactic. They want you to see beautiful builds that have stuff you don't own so you will buy it.

    Sort by pack filter would be nice. It would be nice to filter out if a cheat like MOO and motherlode were used too. I would like a sort by lot size, monochrome verses color filter, a dark mode option, and being able to upload outfit filter. I would like to be able to filter based on household size too. Filter for supernaturals would be nice too to turn it on or off in the Gallery.

    As I mainly upload stuff these are some things id like:

    1. changing cover/first picture when uploading a lot... or anything really

    there is times view is ruined by random objects from street blocking the view or its positioned weirdly so you can't get whole house in image or its like side of the house or something instead of front which just doesn't really give people best idea of what the house looks like

    i would at very least like to be able to choose which side of lot picture is taken

    but it'd be even better if i could use screenshot of choice for the cover/first photo if default is not working out
    (though i do maybe understand why it is not realistically possible cause possibility of misuse of that function)

    2. possibility to choose which of your uploads show up on front page of your profile (those 4 spots that keep changing)

    or organizing all your uploads showing order like "creators order" with filter or such

    it just be nice way to showcase your best stuff for anyone wandering in

    3.tick box for whether or not your lot/room uses moveobjects cheat and search filter for it

    for people who don't like it to filter it out

    and also as creator it just be neater and easier to tick box than write "please turn on moomoo" everytime you upload a thing

    4. played tick box + search filter for it also be nice

    5. uploading apartments as whole cause i swear its pain to do it as rooms
    especially with now having platforms

    It's been almost 5 years since City Living, and we still can't properly upload apartments.

    Hi @Simmingal just wanted you to know that you can change your gallery pictures by using the ( Sims 4 Tray Importer )
    Here is the link to the download if you want to use it but your lots will not get faved by maxis. You can take a nice in game screenshot of your lots.

    I would really like them to take another look at their banned words/names list.

    Current example that's irritating me: I can't upload the Ayase Family from Yotsuba&! because the middle daughter's name is Fuuka (ふうか if it ends up getting censored here later). It's not inappropriate language, it's a common enough name to have an English wiki page. I've run into several other popular names the gallery will not accept. Some folks are awful yes and will try to get around the block list with alternative spellings but some of these are really a stretch.

    Oh, it's extremely overzealous, there's been times when I've had to comb through my descriptions for 5 minutes trying to find the so-called inappropriate language I used. Same goes for this forum, which I suspect uses the same set of banned words.

    I've made some not-very-nice Sims, and I've been told that I can't call them "j e r k s" because somehow that is considered foul language. It's utterly ridiculous.

    Yes! When are they going to support this? Considering we can't build our own apartments, we have to work with the exterior of the same buildings over and over, why not supporting a better way to upload/download apartments?
