My gallery has not been working for a while. I have tried everything I can think of. When I try to connect, it says I am offline even though Origin is connected and my WiFi works fine. I have reinstalled, repaired, taken all of my mods and cc out, taken the entire Sims 4 folder out, to no avail. Sometimes it will connect initially but every item shows up with a red x and cannot be found. It works on the same Origin account on a different computer.
@ashpokemon1 Hi! Please see this link for tips to resolve Gallery Connection issues.

It's possible your antivirus may be blocking your connection and there are instructions for adding exceptions here (also included in the above link).

I don't know where to put this post so I add here, This is a temporary workaround for those who do not have an antivirus
Recently, I also have problems connecting to the Gallery. I don't have antivirus so this is not the case. I found the solution and it works for me 9 out of 10. I open Origin, click the word Origin at the top of the page on the left and choose "Refresh page". Then I run the game from Origin and after starting the game, Gallery is available.- 4 years ago@kreatora Thank you so much ! This worked in an instant ! My gallery is available again !

I have tried all of the options several times and it still doesn't work.

@ashpokemon1 I'm sorry you haven't been able to resolve this issue. Have you tried the suggestion by @kreatora?
Open Origin, click the word Origin at the top of the page on the left and choose "Refresh/Reload page". Then launch the game from Origin and check the Gallery.

I was hoping this would work for me, but it didn't. I've exhausted all other possible options too. Restarted router, turned off my firewall, ran game as administrator from both the game and from Origin. Also plugged in a internet cable directly to my laptop instead of using wifi and nothing works for me. I recently downloaded all my Sims 4 games to a new laptop about 2 months ago and haven't been able to connect since. ☹️
