@gertie47 You can't open the game (without updating it) if you don't go in offline mode first. But maybe there's a workaround for that, if you want to have access to the Gallery.

What I want to be able to do is still upload to the gallery - my play style is to spend half the time playing the game, then take a break by spending the other half of the time making sims and uploading them to share.
The only workaround I can see is that I will just have to wait till I feel that it is safe to update and then do a sim uploading session.
My main fear is that my game will break.
I'll be patient, I guess. It's not really a solution, but not uploading to the gallery isn't the end of my world 😃
