And According to the official FAQ

How will the Gallery work and how can player share user generated content?

The Gallery will not be available in the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 versions, but players can still share their experience using the social features that are integrated into those platforms.

So they had a simple online exchange and uses the sharing program that the console use.

Speaking of the gallery, I have two Theories,
1.It maybe because they are focused on polishing the game and bug fixing, rather than adding a new feature.
2.Maybe because the files on pc are different on how they work on console.

But yeah the Gallery is possible and for the meantime, players can share content depending on the console.

Edited to add the question.

Maybe they dont know how well the game will sell on console and adding the gallery for the console version will cost alot and take alot of time to do. Im personally not bothered as i never use it but i can understand why some fans would want this especially if they dont like building.

Someone mentioned the fire meter may be the reason there is no gallery.

Correct me If I'm wrong, but TS3 on console (probably only on ps4 and xbox 360) we had The Exchange ported in too. Why don't we have at least simple online exchange like in past ported to the console again?

Here's your answer

Also with the sims 3 on console you needed to buy the online pass exchange at least for Xbox so I'm happy with just dlc right now I don't know if they do the same thing but just a thought

Oh I remember that, i think ps3 had something you had to buy too.

I could honestly do without the Gallery, at least for now. Sounds like they may implement it later on with a patch, but want to make sure the gameplay and dlc is up to par with the PC version for the initial launch. I'm okay with that, I never used the Gallery much on PS3 except for uploading a few custom patterns/prints so it's not a feature I consider necessary for my full enjoyment of the game.

Now PETS ON THE OTHER HAND-- does anyone know if they'll be releasing a pets expansion or dlc for the console version? I heard about the pets coming out for PC soon.

From what I have seen on twitter from simguruduke, theres no date for pets on console at the moment but after hearing lots of us asking for it they have said it is something they would like to do in the future. I hope sooner rather then later as it looks so good! Not sure how easy that ep would be to port tho with the create a pet design tool where you paint and use stamps.
