Is the Gallery dead?

I see a lot of new things from people I follow, daily. I did notice that a lot of the more popular, larger simmers have not been posting. Your right about Lilsimsie too, she's posted barely anything and just the other day she announced on Twitter that she's taking a break for mental health so that's probably her reason. Not sure why for the rest though, guess this year is just uninspiring some people. :/

Yeah... I almost only follow known Simmers and Maxis, and for the last 5 months only Lilsimsie and Maxis have posted ANYTHING, and Maxis barely anything.
Any tips of Simmers worth following? I don't do CC, I don't do "Sexyhunknumber13541353". I want quality households, generic beauty queens (of any gender) and pregnant teen mom ghosts I can do without...

Yeah! The gallery seems to be down for me right now so I can't look anyone up... :(

Some in my library currently though (and some off the top of my head because I do use a lot of their stuff): Minraed, RethaSim, simsperation84 (maybe goes by Fantasims now), SimDoughnut, TheKalino, Chrelizabeth, SinSnam. I use a lot of luckyheather's builds too but mostly I build my own lots.

Those are some of my go-to's when looking for sims though. I like them because they are different and things I wouldn't bother to normally make for myself. I actually don't much like CAS. It's great, and best of the series, I just personally would rather build and play the game than spend time in there. ;)

I downlaod a lot of my own builds. because I find the houses on the Gallery too big or too cluttered or the builder has used moveobjects. I cant just downlaod and leave it. I always need to check it first. so thats why I download my own builds.

Ehh, the Gallery is much the same as it always was. My favourite new trend is the idiots uploading YA's to that latest Spark'd challenge, for Elder sims, though. But Simmers I follow have never been prodigious creators and a couple stopped last year.

BTW, German simmers seem to create less stereotypical Sims.

If you want some inspiration you can check out the thread on this forum where people recommend builds for Maxis Fav. There are a lot of great builders recommended in there!

This thread has some really great builds.

I tend to prefer off-beat sims, some simmers good at that are Nixelz, Neurotic90, Mongolian_Girl and Deischschaf013

I've actually found this to be the case too.

I generally don't care for popular builders on the gallery to be honest. Most of them use every pack and put so much clutter that their builds are unplayable. I think it's much the same as it's always been, the popular now section is full of the same popular creators and generic YA sims tiny heads and CC poses. I generally only use the gallery when I'm looking for lot renovations.
