Are the remaining problems with the gallery ever going to be fixed, or do we just have to find a way live with how it is now? Since last June, I've been avoiding the gallery unless I really need something specific that I can't create myself because it's so hard to use without favorites, following, the newsfeed, etc. But if this is just how it's going to be forever, I might as well start figuring out some workarounds that I can use going forward.
It's amazing... they still haven't fixed the gallery a whole year after they broke it, and now they're about to release a pack where one of the new major features (the dating app) involves matching in-game sims with sims in the gallery.
I'm sure it'll work flawlessly. ๐
I would honestly like to know if anyone's heard about upcoming fixes for the gallery so it will work as intended with the new pack... I can't find anything on it.
Most importantly, CC sims not coming up as CC and also CAS items from packs you don't own (will the imported sim get auto-assigned a new hair/outfit)? Because currently, the game will not do that, at least in my experience.
@LadyAofPineapple I know that they are fixing some things with the Gallery at the moment. Some of us just reported that the Gallery Showcase is currently broken for example and we got a response it's definitely been replicated at their end and being addressed.
I only use it to upload my builds but it's all blank screens when I open it. But that's just one of the problems.
I went through some CC Sims recently with a couple of other players and the Sim you actually get is totally different to the image they promote.
I think they removed all the gallery features a year ago in order to make the necessary changes for the next expansion pack. โI guess maybe some features will likely change or return in a future or an upcoming update.
Just a little update. A Gallery fix was just rolled out which at least fixed the broken Showcase images. I don't know if it's improved other features but at least I'm not clicking on empty white boxes now...and hopefully no sneaky llamas will pop up in them either! ๐คจ
So, almost 2 years since the disastrous gallery migration and I guess we have the answer to my question. Yes, this is just how the gallery is now. No newsfeed, followers/following still messed up, searching is counterintuitive and useless... plus new problems like corrupted lots in the gallery.
Crickets, for years on end... after they made such a big deal out of the migration and how we were all going to be so ecstatic about it. What a company. smh
Considering they're planning to add AI features (e.g., using AI to build a house for you) to the Sims universe of games, I wonder if they intend to totally discard the current iteration of the gallery and replace it with something else. That would at least explain why they've given up on fixing it.
