[GALLERY] Filters for packs not working in the gallery
Hope this is the correct forum to post this.
When filtering the gallery for lots and I select 'Show Owned' or select only specific packs, 98% of the lots that come up are base game lots with no pack-specific content.
What gives?

Some information on the history for this. It's currently working how it was when the game first came out. It was an inclusive filter rather than an exclusive one. This was called by design.
With Patch 1.108.349 this was changed probably because if issues with Cupid's Corner. It still didn't didn't work properly as it prompted a different kind of bug report, which mostly involved the gallery filter not working properly if you just chose one pack.
Seems the changes have now been reverted but I personally haven't seen any reports for Cupid's Corner now also being broken again so maybe the team found another way to fix Cupid's Corner and go back to the inclusive filter it originally was.
At this point it's unclear what's intended and what not. Maxis will need to clarify so it's currently treated as a new bug but it might come back as design again. I can only speculate.

Hello,
This is currently functioning as designed. When using the "Show Owned" filter, the results will be inclusive rather than exclusive. In other words, they will display any Gallery items that include those packs, regardless of whether other, unselected packs are also included in the item.You can further filter with the "Using Only These" option in the Gallery to show content using only the selected packs.
Please feel free to provide your feedback on this design choice here if you'd like.
Thanks!
