Re: Gallery shows unused pack

@simsilarity you most likely used a swatch that came with the pack, these don't show.

Try to narrow down which Sim it is that causes it and then check outfit per outfit.

    @crinrict Hi! Swatch as in color shade? Do packs come with new colors to an *already existing base game* outfit?

    @simsilarity yes, exactly. Like of you change to a different available color/pattern and yes, there are packs that just add new ones to an existing asset.

    That was the problem, as you suggested! Thanks a lot!

    Troublemaker is one of the sneakers for both female and male categories. I attached a screenshot of it.

    For those who are reading this, keep in mind that:

    -The original green color is OK. I didn't try the others individually, but some other colors created the same problem. I just changed to other sneakers.

    -To find the problem item: First, I reduced the Sims from the family to one, and I saved them one by one until I found the Sim that showed the Get to Work sign on the Gallery. Then, I dealt with the swatches.

    Should I report it as a bug? Because when I click "Show Used Items" to see which item is used from the Get to Work pack, it doesn't show the sneakers. I know the item belongs to the base pack, but it should still show them due to the swatch issue.

    Happy Simming!

    @simsilarity No, this is not a bug.

    Since it's only a swatch and not the object itself, it's not recognized by the game but it's still from another pack and the user will need the other pack for the shoes to be in the color you choose.

    I think it's a good suggestion that they should find a way to show the sneakers although I think most people would still be confused saying that those are base game :D

    So it's more feedback then a bug.
