On the gallery, when I sort by packs that I own, builds and households show up that require not only what I own, but also ones that I don't.
"Hmm I'm going to search for households that only use the vampire pack."
"Here you go, but you also need City Living, Cats and Dogs, and Strangerville."
So I'm stuck with sorting by base game only because I don't want to have to sift through a bunch of stuff that I'm unable to use.
Unless there's a setting somewhere that I don't know about?
Yeah, I too find this annoying. I bet EA is fully aware of it and is intentionally keeping the system so clunky because it sneakily encourages one to buy all the packs :expressionless:. Though I sometimes just download lots regardless of the requirements because, as I understand, it tries replacing stuff with basic equivalents if possible and, if not, those items just disappear.
Yes it does try to replace them (I have had many different sculptures replaced by garden gnomes which looks rather quirky in the end when there are gnomes all around the house :joy: ), but sometimes it's easy to fix and for example with chairs it works better :smile: There's also an option to click the icon of the pack that is used and, when the pack description opens, click "show used items" and you can see what items were used from that pack. It's very useful for determining how heavily the build leans on a pack.
