I haven't seen anyone talking about this, but the June update added code for a new "Sims Challenge" gallery tab.https://i.imgur.com/SyXd2sw.jpgIt seems like GameChangers will be able to upload items for various Sims challenges for us to download. While regular players like us will be able to submit items after completing a certain challenges (for the GameChanger to judge and select winners?)https://i.imgur.com/QA7X7wn.jpgSubmitted items have a different border and it looks pretty cool ;) https://i.imgur.com/jUVPvAJ.jpgI wonder if this is part of the fun summer update they talked about.Thoughts? Do you think you'll use this new feature?

This would make things a lot easier for community based challenges like lilsimsies shell build challenge. I can’t say I engage much with challenges myself so I probably won’t be using this new feature, but I’m sure its a feature many players (and I guess game changers) will enjoy for the ease of community engagement from directly inside the game.

dont care about either, this is a waste of time...

Wait, let me copy and paste their update report."We fixed bugs and made Origin even more awesomer."

I’m in favor. Makes it easier to host fun challenges, easier to see the challenge builds, and, for everyone else, declutters the rest of the gallery so it’s not full of the same repeating challenge uploads. I want more updates like it, tbh. Things that add UI to account for how people are already playing.

New gallery update coming soon? | EA Forums

What are they going to upload? New stuff? I think it might be nice if anyone would be able to upload a sim or a house and other simmers could do a make-over.

Am I missing the part where it says game changers or is that just a guess? :)

Not a guess. Internally those are referred as “GC Challenges”. You can see the filter pane has two categories: Builder and Stylist. There are actually two more Game Changer categories in the code: storytellers (those who do let’s play videos?) and “info” (those who do news/info videos on the game?).

There will also be a video player (the blue rectangle thing in my screenshot) so my guess is that we’ll be able to watch videos by Game Changers straight from the gallery.

I remember in this interview SimGuruLyndsay was asked about the future of The Sims. She said that she wanted to connect builders, stylists, storytellers, etc. more directly with the community within the game. Everyone thought she was talking about TS5 but it looks like she was talking about TS4, as this new gallery update is very much what she wanted to do.
