We need to know what a disallowed word is when uploading to the Gallery.

Hello, I am rather upset at working on a household for about 5 hours, only to then spend another hour trying to work out what the disallowed word is that is stopping me from uploading my household to the Gallery.

You need to consider adding in a system where it highlights the disallowed word or name so that a player can easily change it and not waste our time trying to find it.

After roughly 6 hours the game crashed to the desktop and the whole household was gone. All thanks to me trying so hard to find out what could be stopping the upload.

    Hey simsplayer818​, I finally worked out with some people in the discord that the disallowed word was the name Molly. A literal name 😅

    Apparently not, someone told me that it's because a part of the name Molly will be flagged because it is a bad slang term.

  • If only some of the filters would recognize context.  We can only hope with time the nonsense can be worked out.

    You don't need context with names. I've had this issue before when uploading to the gallery. If some name means something vulgar in another language you can't restrict that name because it gives more credit to the vulgarity.  It's an unfortunate coincidence, but it's insulting to give more credit to the insult.

    I agree. I suggested this on the Sims discord feedback thread a couple of months ago. I hope they decide to do make this change.

    This would be good to know as sometimes i have tried to post about happenings between NPC's and my sims and the name gets flagged. Come on EA those are your NPC's with names YOU gave them so why flag it?
