@pocketfIower As far as I know, those custom Gallery poses are from Mods. Here's a link to an article on this topic in SimsVIP with a pretty cool video on how it works (the video is not mine & all credit goes to SimsVIP and the YouTube video creator).

Also, I'm pretty sure you can use mods like this and your Sims will not be flagged in the Gallery as "modded" as long as your mods don't include things that actually change a Sim, like custom skins, eyes, sliders, etc., or any CC outfits.
If someone else who has more experience than I do with Gallery pose mods posts on here and corrects me on any of this then we'll both learn something new ;-D

@pocketfIower Another consideration when thinking about using a Mod to alter your thumbnails is that it may cause you not to be considered for curation — for being chosen as a 'Maxis Fave'. Please reference the following quote from SimGurulcarus: "Households with custom poses will not be curated, unless the Sim or Pet is standing and showing most of the body."

This can be found in the forum post "How do we choose our Maxis Faves? - Curation Guide!"
