Interesting, I wasn't aware of the fact that people could download their own creations over and over to cheat the system. I wonder if they could make it so you could only download your own thing once every 24 hours (or something like that). Because I'd hate to lose the ability to download my own creations entirely. There's been a few times that I lost/accidentally deleted something from my library, but was able to recover it because it was on the gallery.
I would be really mad if I would not be able to download my own creations. I enjoy people using my creations a lot, but the main reason I upload most of my stuff is so I can use it myself in another save later on without taking up space in my computer.
I think the easy solution for this would be to just not count your own downloads as downloads.
Back to the topic itself:
The new system has an agenda, a purpose: to push whatever Maxis wants to push, don't even think this has been done to benefit the regular player, it hasn't. Not for the regular simmer that uploads, not for the regular simmer that downloads.
With the popular being the default, they are erasing out of the box creations and smaller voices in the community.
I have said it a lot lately, I know, but I find it really problematic. All the popular uploads follow the same patterns and different and original is being pushed aside.
I don't even care that my uploads have decreased overall since the change, my biggest issue is the homogenisation of the gallery.
