I believe this is by design, as the Gallery calculates number of downloads by unique EA accounts rather than total downloads.
This is to eliminate bad actors from spamming the download button on their own creations, and to give a more accurate count.
I really hope this answer wasn’t satisfactory enough for you to stop looking into this issue further. I’m a small builder who doesn’t cheat and would average between 30-200 downloads on my builds. I’m barely getting 5 now, and the panel that once showed total downloads/followers/lots shared has been missing since the June 1st maintenance. How has 2 months gone by with no answers on all the mechanics that broke?!

There is definitely something wrong with the counts right now in the gallery. I just noticed that when I look through new horse ranch builds of some popular builders with lots of amazed comments on them, they only have 0 or 1 like and 0 or 1 download. This would be MAYBE possible if there would be just 1 of them, but EVERY build? For example PlumbbobKingdom has on my screen just 1 like and 1 download on all of their Ranch builds since Horse ranch. Impossible! Same with other huge builders. Something is wrong!
- 2 years ago@karoschmitz Me either!!! I've noticed that since 4th August 2023, all of my creation and other creation from all of the simmers I followed, got only 1 download and 1 like number! But some of them are excellent and famous creator,how can this actually happen? Then I found this question on EA Answers, realized EA has less and less care about TS4 ;(

Is everyone still encountering these gallery problems? I'm a really small household creator and even I've seen my counts yo-yo just in the last 12 hours today.
