Gallery Junkie

I don't use the Gallery as much as I used to because I enjoy building and making my own sims but the Gallery is great. There are some really talented simmers.

Yes! I absolutely love the builds and how easy it is to plunk them into the game. I follow a lot of fantasy/occult/creative builders so I can spice up my worlds. That's the beauty of the Gallery...it allows each player the access to customize their town lots even if they don't know how to build very well.

The Gallery is one of the best additions to The Sims. I hope they have it in the next iteration too.

I don't use it regularly, but I do use it sometimes, mostly for households when I don't want to make a bunch.

I'm currently playing a family with a toddler and I wanted my worlds to have lots and lots of families with toddlers so I went on a Downloading spree and grabbed probably 80 different families with toddlers to fill up all of my worlds (I have never ever played with toddlers even tho I've had the pack since it came out, because I've always been a CC creator first and foremost, and not a player, but I've recently gotten into actually "playing").

I do use it on occasion to look for lots, but I find it very hard to find exactly what I"m looking for, I feel like there needs to be more filters and I prefer to see pics of the inside of the house/lot to determine if it's right for me.

I have been doing the same thing but with No CC Art. I have downloaded probably 30 rooms full of art...no idea where to use them yet lol

I don't have much room for more, I'm still playing my original "day 1" save.

I use the gallery when I need new homes or I’m looking for a community lot since I don’t build myself. Lately though it doesn’t work most of the time when I go on there. It loads super slow and doesn’t show a lot of the pictures.

I've only used gallery twice, and that was to place homes that are already in the game to different lots (like putting Crick Cabana in Windenburg). I would never use it for Sims--creating my own is one of the things I love about the game the most

I tried not to open up gallery as best as I could because if I do I spent too much time downloading lot and household but never actually utiliez the item I just downloaded.

I love the gallery - I mostly use it for lots and I am always finding great ones. But lately I haven’t been able to find exactly what I want in a playable layout. I like big, beautiful houses, but many of them on the gallery are just way too over the top for me to fully enjoy playing in. Something can be a total work of art but just not functional, at least how I play. I’ve been building more on my own and just shared an Exquisite Victorian that I built to accommodate my needs (“needs” include a rock climbing wall that’s hidden from sight!)
I also have a Tudor I am still playtesting.

I enjoy creating my own sims, so I don't go to the gallery for them - but I'm really terrible at building and I love spending time on the gallery downloading everyone's awesome lots :)
