Gallery not working "No results"

Hello,
My problem is that I can no longer use the gallery for some unknown reason.

SETUP

Game: Sims 4

System: PC Windows 10 (64-bit)
Platform: EA
Mods/CC: No
Problem frequency: 100% (on each attempt)
When the problem occurs: When I open the gallery (no matter where, from the home screen, in game in CAS or in construct mode).

Description of the problem :
I restarted The Sims after a long period of not playing and found that I can no longer use the gallery at all. When I open it, the home page loads for a very long time and displays "No results" (even though I haven't searched for anything yet, the home page is supposed to show me featured content). When I try a search, no matter the filter "Maxis", "All", "Custom content",... nothing is displayed. Same for my personal page, I no longer see what I shared, nor even my gallery description and my highlighted elements.

Resolution attempts already tried:
Before posting my problem, I tried A LOT of solutions (the goal is not to bother here so that the answer is "Have you tried turning off and on your computer").

  • Restart the computer
  • Restart the Sims 4
  • Delete all Documents/ElectronicArts/Sims4 folder
  • Repair the game from the EA application
  • Launch the game as administrator
  • Turn off my Windows firewall
  • Update my drivers
  • Create an exception for Sims 4 on Windows Defender
  • Refresh my DNS (although I don't even know exactly what that is)

I would still like to point out that the internet connection does not seem to be completely cut in my game because I continue to receive Sims Delivery and the game's Home Page updates and seems to work well.
I don't see any problem other than the gallery.

I have visit all the forums, videos and help sites, I don't see what else I can do to solve my problem...

I'm attaching the image of the problem, even if there isn't much to see other than "No results" written in French.

Honestly I don't even have much hope that anyone here can help me, but I'll give it a try.

Sorry if my English isn't perfect, it's not my native language!

THANKS

  • Hi everyone,
    I'm playing The Sims 4 on Mac and the Gallery isn't loading any online content. I always get the message "No results found", even though I'm connected to the internet and logged into my EA account.

    Things I've tried:

    - Checked that I'm logged in.

    - Internet connection is stable.

    - Removed all Gallery filters.

    - Cleared game cache (localthumbcache.package and cachestr folder).

    - Made sure Origin is not in Offline Mode.

    - No mods or CC installed.

     

    It's been like this for a few days. Has anyone else had this problem? Any fix?

     

    Thanks!

  • I'm playing on PC and I've already tried repairing the game, clearing the cache, repairing the EA App, and rebooting my router, but nothing changes.
    Is this a known issue?

    I'm having problems performing searches in-game and from the browser.  Anyone else?

    I play on Xbox and I can't upload, download or search. My own uploads don't even show up. Almost everything is broken since the update :(

    I'm on XBox and can't go online. Unable to link my EA account and unable to connect to the Gallery. Unable to collect event rewards and finish the event. All my presets for gameplay resets every time I log off.  Everything is broken since the last update.
