Help me find Gallery submissions that don't use stuffpacks?

I'm downloading lots of lovely builds from the gallery to replace all the maxis builds in all the neighborhoods. (only neighbs I miss are strangerville and outdoor retreat) Aaand lots of lovely sims from the gallery to put into these builds.

Now, I don't really like stuffpacks. None of them really appeal to me, at least not content wise. I'm frugal so for me to spend money on something as benign as extra furniture I have to be IN LOVE with the furniture and majority of the pack.

Unfortunately a lot of gallery stuff I see has creators that use a gazillion stuff-packs, and I can't filter the gallery to EXCLUDE stuffpacks (probably because to EA it's advertisement for them to appear in the gallery, and no corporation is going to remove free adds even if it annoys their customers)
I've tried going through the gallery, but it gets really tiresome and discouraging to go through an endless storm of submissions JUST to try and filter out the ones without stuff-packs. It's a big pain in the backside really, so that's why I made this thread. (even when I search on #basegame there are still plenty of results that use stuff-packs unfortunately, and not many people use #nostuffpacks)

I'm looking for creators that don't use stuffpacks in their submissions to the gallery!
Game packs are fine.

I really love it when creators use only 1 or 2 packs or only basegame, and just fill up the rooms with NOCC paintings.
I really hate when I see amazing sims, but then if I download them they walk around in their underwear because they are fully clothed in stuffpacks. And I'm a perfectionist so when I dress a sim or make a build I spend an insane amount of time making it GOOD. Which is why I appreciate it so much when someone else makes amazing submissions so that saves me time, and not to mention I'm just not as talented as some haha! But that can't happen if I have to dress a sim myself because of all the stuffpacks that I'm not interested in.

So please share with me the creators you know that submit content without the use of stuff-packs?
Or if not creators, a build or a sim that you really love that doesn't use any stuff-packs?


You can tell me the title of the build/sim or a hashtag that the creator uses so I can find their creations in the gallery!

    Not the original poster but I love them. How can I find them in the gallery.

    As for the filyers! I wish it were fixed too. I don't have vampires or rom but if i filter those packs out most builds I see still use them


    Oh and they were called BaseGame Couple or something like that, but AllyKatz77 is my name on there, thanks again so much :)


    Thanks! I'll download them as soon as I get onto the computer

    thank you! I am really glad you liked them :)
  • If you search for builds by hashtag, I find that searching for #basegameonly or # generates a lot of results that use fewer packs than average.
  • As it happens I have a number of base game only builds on the gallery. A lot of them I made for Newcrest so they're a bit older. Most of them are tagged #basegameonly iirc.
    I also have a base game + game pack only rebuild of Selvadorada as a whole.
    My gallery ID is the same as my username here. If you do search stuff on my gallery profile, I've noticed the older stuff doesn't show by default so you need to filter by lot size/price and they'll show up.
    Alternatively, you could have a scroll through my showcase on tumblr (my forum showcase isn't up to date unfortunately) - mind though, don't so this on mobile, tumblr works better on a pc.
    If I wasn't on mobile myself right now, I'd give more (direct) links, but for now I'll just give my main tumblr link: https://mdianasanders.tumblr.com
    As for pack free households, I don't have many (if any) of those unfortunately.
  • Thanks everyone :) I subbed to Doctor Ashley and downloaded the O'Grady's.

    @MDianaSanders I checked out your gallery, aaand:
    when I search it for #basegame all I get is BG Plants Normal
    when I search for #basegameony all I get is 30 and 32 Lake Crescent

    I think maybe something is wrong with the search function? From the sound of your post there should be more results.
  • There are more, but the gallery doesn't seem to show older creations unless you use filters.
    I'll give a few direct links later when I have access to my PC.
  • I said I'd share some links, I'll put them under a spoiler so as to not make this post too long.

    I'll leave it at this for now, there is more though. I've also built neighbourhoods for Newcrest, a couple of under 10K starter homes, remakes of TS2 and TS1 builds etc.


    I've found that if you go to my Gallery page and just filter "Lots" on the left side (under "Category"), it will show you all of my lots (if you scroll down), including the older ones, a lot of which are basegame only. The search function seems to only show newer uploads unfortunately.
