Missing objects in gallery downloads because of not owning all packs

I have recently downloaded a few builds from the gallery without having all the packs installed. I remember doing this earlier (years ago when I had less packs) and I was sure missing items were replaced by base game furniture. I particularly remember downloading a tree house where the tree trunk was made of enlarged outdoor retreat chairs and I got enlarged other chairs. It looked quite ridiculous. With the builds I downloaded today, the items were not replaced by other items of the same type. I watched the builds on YouTube first so I know exactly where the high school year table and chess table were supposed to be.

Has this changed over the years. Is there an option I can turn on so the missing items can be replaced by base game furniture in the same spot?

  • If you don't own the items that has been used in the build it will just appear empty in that space when you download. I don't think there is an option for it to be replaced by base game items, only by doing it youself after
  • I know for a fact I have had items replaced. In wedding venue, what someone made for me by my request, used chairs from Deluxe edition. Those were converted to basegame chairs in my game. this was before MWS.

    now, at these days I also get only empty space in houses what use stuff i don't have, it must of changed at some point.

    So I am not the only one who had items being replaced in the past. Then I suppose it must have changed at some point because now I just get empty spaces like @kiwi84 and @KestrelDC mention. Too bad because that means buildings will be incomplete.

    Items were definitely replaced in the past when you don't own items in a build. I don't know if there was a change though.
