Have you ever worked for a publicly held company before? Generally speaking, they don’t make financial decisions based on “we’re rich and money is no object!” If you can provide a profit motive for doing this (monthly storage subscription fees?) then maybe, but no, they’re not going to do it out of the kindness of their hearts. That’s just not how publicly held corporations work. People would get fired.
P.S. There’s no call to be rude to people.
Perhaps, since this feature isn't available you could just save a more basic version of your builds to share with specific people and you/they can add any more personal touches after they have downloaded it from the public gallery. Yes others will be able to download it but it won't be as personal a design. I can't think of another way around it for now, but I'm on console.
I often send instructional screenshots and step by step tutorials by email to friends as well so that's a more time consuming option. When someone buys the Sims they get my Sim guides with houses I've shown them that they've liked and instructions on how to recreate them.
We're waiting for massive bug fixes and we're not getting them so I'm not sure I can see this feature being added. The focus seems to lie elsewhere with revenue generating additions.
Some people use gallery builds while they are learning the ropes with the game. It can be frustrating to start out if you're not a builder and don't know how to build a dream home for your Sim or it can teach you how to build. I am a builder, for 20 years plus but have friends who are just starting out and need that help otherwise they just want to give up. Years ago I was stuck with building on hills in Sims 4, which I did a lot in Sims 3 and I downloaded the LA Home to see how that was done. It looks nothing like the original now but I learned from the template. So looking at it another way, your builds may be out in the world but they will probably be helping another player and most likely they will have made their own extensive renovations. I personally suffer with vertigo and RSI and so sometimes used the shell of a build from the gallery even though I could do it myself, it's sometimes been helpful for me to do that. So your builds may have helped other players in ways you haven't realised. I'd take something from that if it were me.
Spare a thought for a fellow player who accidentally uploaded themselves as a Sim without realising other players could upload them! Now that really would leave me shook!
