@catloverplayer I don't disagree with that at all. I believe we will see an expansion in the latter part of June as well. But there is a lot more than that happening in June. I'm upset because EA has pulled another lockdown on releasing more info on everything they are planning to do, and how that might affect the release of future packs that are in the works. They recently upgraded the Gallery, Origin was down for almost a full day last weekend, and it looks as if we won't be getting an update until later this month if they decide to release one in May. I have many questions and concerns that I cannot find the answers to. Call me paranoid if you wish, but I have a feeling the update/pre-expansion patch in June will be a large one. Probably the largest we have seen since toddlers were released. How it might affect our mods, CC and saved games is high on my list of concerns even though I am looking forward to knowing what the next expansion is all about.

I'm still hoping the gallery will get the option to let us see inside buildings/houses. Grant said last year he knew people wanted that and then he said winkie face followed by that's all I'll say on that. What changes did this upgrade to the gallery bring? I thought they were just doing maintence.

That would be truly awesome. The screenshots that are automatically assigned to lots shown on the gallery are horrible. Many times there are trees blocking the view of the inside of the lots so we are unable to see exactly what that lot looks like unless we place it in the game. Yeah, I think it was just maintenance done to the gallery. I read a re-posted tweet from one of the gurus that stated they were going to change some options on the gallery that would go live in June. Again with the 'it'll happen in June' thing we've been hearing for a month. I tried to find it this evening so I could post it for you to read, but I can't remember where it was. I apologize for the confusion.

What they should be fixing on the gallery are the filters, they have never worked. You can untick a pack and still see all the lots built with a pack you don't have. This is going to be a big fat mess (even more so) once those 32bit players can't find anything for their game because they can't even buy newer packs. And ads in the game, think of how those who get that 32bit final upgrade will continue to see packs they can't order. The gallery and the game is going to need a lot of time to be overhauled for those type players.
