[BY DESIGN] Filters for packs not working in the gallery

I know this sounds pretty pathetic but I only own the base game and Get to Work in TS4. When I go into the gallery I select only the packs I have in the Packs dropdown many on the left side of the sc...

Hello @PurpleSweetTart @Phantomlover1717 @crinrict

If I'm understanding the topic correctly, I believe this is by design. The pack filters are intended to be inclusive rather than exclusive. In other words, they will display any gallery items that include those packs, regardless of whether other, unselected packs are also included in the item.

Since my English is failing me, this is how I would expect it to work.

Let's say I have Get to work but not Get together.

I would then tick get to work but not get together cause I don't want any lots that contains stuff that I don't have.

If that's not the intention of the filter, then I think you guys should re-think it.

@SimQARobo

So if I understand you right, I can only filter lots that I want to have a certain pack. Say if I want something from Get Together to be included, I tick it. This mean, that lot can also contain stuff from any other pack but doesn't have to ?

What do you do if in the sims 4 gallery category for packs aren't working? An example is the screen shot I showed. When I only selected city living I was still shown things using different packs.

  Hey @Sloth1245,
  
  I've moved your post to a more relevant board than EA General Questions.
  I remembered this post, it might clear the issue you're having up quite a bit:

Basically you are saying the galery is useless unless you are trying to install base game content. If it is the case than you shouldn't even bothered to create the gallery, if it is by the design than change the freakin design.
Why would I want to see a list of content that I cannot have ?

At least create another menu below showing the stuff we could have with one or two more packs. But showing us some things that would require 900 hundred euros of packs is silly.
