@arumiarch As I said I simply don't have friends or anyone to share things with privately, but I am very private about my stuff so I understand not wanting everyone to be able to see what you've done. I mean you're talking to the person that has all the sharing and public options on my Xbox disabled because I just like to be private with everything. Which is why I think having a simple restriction system in place for uploads would be useful for those that want to share their creations, though just not with everyone.
I mean all they have to do is add multiple upload options instead of just the one. One button could be called "Share Publicly", or they can just go with the current button to have things shared to everyone. There could be a button called "Share To Friends" which will only allow friends to see. For those that may just want to share to their followers, there could be a "Share To Followers" button. Maybe have one that combines friends and followers. Finally there could be one called "Password Locked", which when selected will prompt you to enter a password that people will need to download the upload. If you've already uploaded something to the gallery, these same options could be on that creation just in case you want to change things.
I'm not a smart person, but hey if I can come up with simple ideas like this then so can EA lol.
I can completely understand that you want this. I only shared my creations once and removed my builds after a little while. I don’t like it if other player uses my builds, but not because of stealing, it … just don’t feel right for me.
I don’t mind if a user recreates the exact same building, I have also done this too, specially with houses which used heavy move objects. I liked the basic shell but not the things which as placed there.
As @xochiquetzl_xkvn says is not the single user which makes problems but if you have many users you need to make sure you have enough space to save all these things. Sims4 have over 10 million active players, so you need make sure you have at least enough space for all these players. Yeah... EA is huge and have much money but they money don’t came because of kindness. You want a service, a private gallery so you need to prove EA that they got more money if they give you this option. I think it would be nice if EA Play would get an addition feature of a private gallery if you were a subscribe there. (Specially most simmers don’t have any interest in any other games as sims)
I think it's cool if people use my builds or Sims, but I understand that not everyone feels that way! It's like published authors and fanfic, in a way: some like fanfic (and may even find it flattering) and others hate fanfic and hate the idea of other people playing with their characters. This is all personal preference and both opinions are valid.
