[FIXED] Gallery contain duplicates
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have everything except for My First Pet Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load the Gallery, select Following, then select Most Popular. You'll randomly see repeats of lots as you scroll down. It also happens when I search for something specific, like Coorinberg for houses under all Gallery uploads. I'll see some of the same houses randomly through the results, and they're definitely not a different upload.
What happens when the bug occurs? Basically I'll see some of the lots repeated as I scroll down the page. It's not every one, just a few here and there.
What do you expect to see? Each lot should be there once, unless the maker has uploaded a 2nd version to the Gallery.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
For about 6 weeks now I see doubles of some of the uploads at the Gallery. At first I thought there was something wrong with my eyes, or that I had gone back to a different row while scrolling and didn't realize it. I did not realize that it was an issue that Crinrict was asking about a couple weeks ago, or I would have shared my experience. It's not an obvious thing, the doubles are not right next to each other. It will be like this- House "A" will be at row 6 and then again at row 9 or so. And it only happens to a handful of houses so it can be difficult to see at first glance.
I follow a few prolific builders, so I really notice it when I'm looking through their catalog. I'll see 2-3 of their homes repeated through their catalog, randomly on different rows. And it's definitely not a new upload, it's the same one.
I haven't seen this happen with households, but I haven't really been looking for new sims to download, just lots. So I don't know if it's an issue with households as well as lots.
Edited to add- I just looked at it again and noticed that it will duplicate rooms too.
Since the last patch, the problem appears to be resolved. I'm not seeing duplicates in the Gallery anymore. I'll keep an eye out for it, but I'm hoping we can call this one done.
