Gallery needs a complete overhaul

Its been I don't even know how long since the gallery got changed. But since then, the gallery has been the worst it's ever been.
The discoverability is just horrendous. Screenshots for a lot of builds are blocked by random objects.
The overview to see into the build is horrible as it doesn't give you a good view as to what the interior actually looks like.
And don't get me started on the feature where they took away the 'news' where I could see builds being posted by people I follow. All that ever needed was a 'delete all' button, but it should never have been removed.
Also not the mention the re-uploads. When you report them, nothing is being done. I don't want my build to be re-uploaded unless it's for a shell challenge.
Everyone has beautiful builds that are not being discovered because the gallery is in such a horrible state right now and I don't feel anything is being done about it.
We've been complaining about it for ages and Sims doesn't even acknowledge the bad state it's in. They haven't even acknowledged anything being done about it.
It's making me and a lot of other Simmers very angry because no one is seeing our builds.

  • I agree! I love the gallery because I have found amazing builds there. There are some extremely talented builders in this community and they need proper representation in the gallery. 

    I also think builders create artwork that I can play with and I don't like seeing so many reuploads unless the original builder is okay with this. I fell like reuploading someone's work takes away from the original builder.

    Yh, it's horrible. And it's been so long now. I just don't understand why they haven't fixed the gallery completely yet.

    I've had builds being re-uploaded. Sims/EA does absolutely NOTHING about this. I reported the builds, asked them (the people who re-upload) to remove it and upload to their library instead, just nothing.
    I have an old build on there still after YEARS and it still hasn't been removed.
    Every once in a while I check hashtags or whatever to see if people re-uploaded and often find builds or builds that have been slightly modified. 

    I don't see any works anymore of the people I follow. I want the news feed back. All I wanted was a button to remove all the messages all at once, not completely get rid of it.
    It's also very hard to get people to find your builds, even with hashtags.

    And not to mention that one build that was on the front page for so long. How is that fair to everyone else?!

    It's not fair and It would stop me from sharing my builds. It's stealing and taking credit for someone else's work even if the build has been modified.
