No matter what I change my Sims name to I cannot upload the sims to the gallery. This is just one example of one household but it's happening to me and my friends no matter who we try to upload or what the name is. I first tried to upload with names I have made, and when it didn't work, I used the in-game randomizer for first and last names. It still didn't work.

EDIT: There seems to be a current problem with she/her & they/them pronouns. If you use those, please post here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/GALLERY-Sims-with-she-her-pronouns-can-t-be-shared/m-p/13751313
I first had this particular issue with ordinary names in the households description being called "bad words" on 5/23/24. Yes, I've had weird Galley/name issues in the past but not like this.
So on 5/23, I saved four sims/households to my Library. They are siblings with the same last name. I usually name the households with First & Last names.
(listed in the order that I shared them)
1, Alexander, shared with no problems.
2, Cassandra is a bad word, but only in the description (not in the household name or the sims name in CAS).
3, Derek is a bad word, but only in the description.
4, Fiona is a bad word, but only in the description.
Okay so next batches (I'm doing a breeding project (TS2 PV families with new last names) so I have a bunch to share) and each batch of 3 or 4 siblings were shared at different times (usually a few hours between).
I'm pretty sure my "McKay Triplets" household with Angela, Danny & Lilith shared without trouble. - - Just checked and they shared without issue.
Then,
1, Lucy, shared with no problems.
2, Mike is a bad word, but only in the description.
3, Norman is a bad word, but only in the description.
4, Natalie is a bad word, but only in the description.
Then,
1, Don is a bad word, but only in the description.
2, Eddie is a bad word, in CAS & the Household name (not sure about the description because I automatically did my workaround and didn't fully read the bad words message when it first popped up over his name).
3, Elsie is a bad word, but only in the description.
My workaround is to add _ (or a space) between letters (ex: E_l_s_i_e).
I often start my descriptions like this:
"Don is the son of Nicolo & Adriana Maynard"
Weirdly enough, I haven't had any last names be called "bad words" in the past couple days, just their first names and like I said, only in the description (except for Eddie).
Anytime I try to upload anything to the gallery or save a build my sims keeps giving me an error message saying the sever cant process it. I've tried literally everything from troubleshooting to resetting my entire computer. I run the game on Mac
The Gallery won't let me upload a Sim with "he/him" pronouns.
Now it was telling me that the name was not allowed. I tried to reupload my selfsim, and thought it was because of my nick, so I changed the name to "D. M." instead, and it was still not allowed. I tried multiple times, and now the name is ok, but something in description is not allowed, can't figure out what anyways, because everything should be fine.
