Why comment or like a sim that you don't want to download? Why base maxis favorites on the number of comments and not the number of downloads or player favorites?
@CorkysPetals - once simmers realized that having large Tray folders led to gallery lag, many switched from downloading content they liked to favoriting it instead. Comments are to encourage and thank the simmer who created the building/room/sim/etc. :smile: There might be fewer comments than there used to be, since --at least as of the last time I was active on the gallery-- you no longer got notifications of people leaving comments on your uploads, only notifications of comments on your gallery page.
I do not believe Maxis favs are based on the number of comments or downloads (downloads usually follow the Maxis fav, rather than the other way around). Sometimes they pay attention to the recommendation threads (located in the various subcategories of the creative section of the forum), and sometimes not. Sometimes, the favs appeared to be rather...random. I haven't been on the Gallery in months (and turned off my notifications), so I don't know what the trend is atm.
