Can you choose which things to showcase? My showcase shows everything in my catalog rotationally. If I can choose which to showcase, I'd like that very much!

You can showcase one item at a time, other stuff will rotate as usual. Press this button:

You’re right. Showcasing. And also liking. I don’t understand why there’s so much of it. It seems unnecessary and spammy.

Oh snap, I showcase my items somewhat frequently (mostly just me debating myself on which creation I like best)... Does it show up in the feeds of the simmers that follow you? I literally just thought it affected what people saw when they checked out my profile and it didn't tell anyone. That's embarrassing... :|

It depends. If constantly active, some people are constantly uploading and/or favoriting things constantly. Most are quite good and if that person uploads something 3 times or more in a row, it's ok. Find out the final version. Comment constructively. Yes, 3 or more versions of the same build gets confusing so if someone deletes the previous builds because of errors, then I have no problem with that. Same with households. :)

I've only had to un-follow someone once or twice because of the news feed spam. I feel bad because those persons are excellent creators for builds. So I really do like to see any upload they make. It was just that something like hundreds of "favorites" of "non-cc" paintings (or something) that spammed my feed.

I'm not "angry", heh! Really there should be a better way to set it up in settings. ;)

@Missmagoo2 I don't think that is a problem. If you showcase a few times. Yes it does show up in other's "feeds" . ;) I doubt you're doing that like 50 times a day.

I think the "issue" is more like someone favoriting a zillion things a day. Hey, nothing wrong with that I guess. It will show up in anyone following's feed though. Keep that in mind.

Oh thank you! I must have missed that. It seems I may have clicked it once long ago but maybe forgot? Anyway, look out followers, here's Spammy! :lol: Just kidding. I won't abuse my new power... at least I'm pretty sure I won't. Yeah, probably not. Well, maybe a little?

mood. I didnt know it did that i just would sometimes try to make newest or most detailed build to be first on my page and i assumed it did that o_o

@Missmagoo2 @Simmingal Haha! Well yes it will spam our feeds but you’re free to do as you please. It’s really just the gallery. There’s should be settings that allow it to work better for all of us. For instance tumblr has an option to stop seeing reblogs of the same post after appearing a certain number of times, that way you can still follow your spamming friends/mutuals without it disrupting your own experience on the site. The gallery should have such a feature that way you can like as many creations without others having to see it more than three times. We’d all be happy lol.

I was surprised to find that when I updated my dorm to remove some content and fix some issues, instead of overwriting the old upload, it just created another. What's the point of choosing overwrite?

What I find annoying is the exact same item being listed by several makers. Either a given maker has multiple identifiers or people are copying something another has made and claiming it as their own. Not good.
