Click Baiting in The Gallery

Hello everyone! Custom posing in the gallery was always a thing to make sims more visible and to attract the people to download your content. However these days the issue is even deeper. People use default replacements to share their sims as Base Game and NoCC content. If I'm honest I'm done with this unhonesty in the community. A lot op people do a great job and follow the rules but they are totally unvisible because a part of community workarounds Gallery system. It's even more unfair that a lot of people as we, console players can not even download CC or replacements. As the result Galllery thumbnails are totally different than the reality. To show you an example, I created really short video to compare The Gallery and the reality:




Is it possible to fight somehow with this practice or hide this content?

    If I'm not mistaken, the game replaces and/or removes items you don't have in your game with something you do have.

    Regardless of what type of CC it is, it still gets tagged as CC, it'ssupposed to anyway. Everything I've ever uploaded with CC has been tagged as such. Even default replacements get tagged.

    It's not really click-bait, I remember the Sims 3 exchange was very free in a bad way so you could easily upload things with bad cc that could be game-breaking to a lot of people. Usually, people will say where their items are from but the Sims 4 gallery is more protected so now it's just people who like to show what they imagine, and the rest of us can download and feel secure with our games.

    I don't think it's click baiting, maybe just some mislabeling. I see that they wrote in the description field where they got the hair and make-up and defaults and there's lots of tags for different creators. Personally, if I see custom poses I know there's going to also be cc content included and simply don't download. However, I think those sims are pretty even without the CC, you could try to give them a similar hair and make-up as in the gallery picture.
