I want to share my experience with the new Gallery. I must say that I agree with some ideas that @FruUtter said. I recognice that my rooms gets more downloads lately, with the old Gallery I got 200 or 400 download if the room reached the top. Now I don't know if I was lucky but 2 of my rooms reached the most popular, one with more than 1000 downloads and the other have 550 so far. First days those rooms had 5 or 10 downloads, then sudenly those rooms got more at next days.
Anyways, is not the same with my sims, ok I'm not a sim maker I admite it, but before the update my sims could get at least 100 downlodas easily, now I have 2 with less than 50 ...
I need to do some test with houses, because I think the downloads reflect the kind of followers that you have, I always been a room builder, most of my followers like rooms, so If my rooms still download but my sims don't, well there you have your answer.
I don't know if this makes sence but I triying to figure out this new system of downloads. About the issue with self downloads have no objetion, It always been happening and I don't know if Maxis don't realize that or don't care.
I think the gallery need to be more fair with everyone and at least do some changes in order that everyone have chances to reach the top. We need to be more realistic about one thing, yes we all build because we love that, but, what meaning have to do smething that anybody won't to see or download? ...
Thanks for your attention :)
