We Need Gallery Organization!!

It really drives me nuts that we cannot organize our gallery uploads and downloads into categories or folders. For example putting all our"apartments" or "castles" or "community lots" together to avoid endlessly scrolling for days to find what we are looking for. Adding such a simple system would add so much organization!

Custom names of course. I would personally love to put builds in my library together in a folder with the original lot name, to help track where I want to place them or what lot I originally designed them for. But for my gallery uploads to share, I would prefer to have them sorted by build types. 

Same goes for sims, being able to group them together by careers or ages or "single sims" based on how I want to add them to my gameplay later.

    Agreed. It'd be great to create folders for gallery uploads, not only for personal organization, but for other players to easily find what they need when browsing my gallery. Would love to offer custom themed folders of my Sims, such as a Vampires folder or a Mad Scientist folder full of laboratory builds and science Sims. A royalty folder of kings, queens and castle builds.

    It'd be better to offer an in-game solution to gallery organization, like custom folders, instead of players having to rely on an outside third party option through a social media platform like Tumblr.

    Gallery folders could help with load time and processing speed because the server need only to generate the uploads inside a single folder whereas currently the server has to generate thumbnails for the entire uploaded catalog of a player.

    Veteran players may have over 500+ gallery uploads. A gallery folder system could break up that amount into manageable sizes for viewers to browse and not be overwhelmed by the full volume of a veteran player's entire catalog.
