@SW929818 I've moved your post here, as you seem to be experiencing the same issue than @SimsCDR.

Hi! Thanks for your reply and suggestions.
My guess is that our government has blocked something 😢.
Usually we can use VPN for this kind of issue, like we connect to Instagram or some other websites. But in this case VPN doesn't help at all.
Just wonder whether EA is going to fix this problem, or you can do nothing about this either (which is totally understandable).
Thanks!

@mike200075 oh yes! I saw your reply before, but I forgot when I wrote the feedback to @EA_Mai yesterday. I just have re-edited it, thanks for your reminding!
@mike359I saw those twitters too, but just a few. I don't see any after 02/04/2020. I think their problem is caused by the update. Sometimes when EA is updating the game, the

@LyuKefan I think EA server must have some problem ,because use a vpn but still not work is a very Strange things。
@EA_Mai I think your gallery not work is very strange,EA has some other games like Apex legends and Battlefield,Their multiplayer can work in china.But the sims4 gallery Can't work, come on。。。it just a gallery.I also see some other countries player say their gallery can't work on twitter att the end of January. So i think your server must have some problem.
i think your server must have some problem.I think your server problem just like the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain ’s Online mode(FOB mode),For a while, its online mode did not work in China (but it can work by use a vpn), but then the game company solved this problem, so I hope you can solve this problem by learning the game I talked about。it's just a Gallery.

en..look this..
- 6 years ago@mike200075 啊!那就真的很奇怪了!我在Twitter上搜,国外玩家最新一条提到工坊连接不上的推还是发布在2月4日,刚好是EA更新游戏那段时间。而过后ts4跟ea账号底下评论都鲜有看到有提到工坊连接问题。就搞不懂了。

Looking at this picture, players from other countries also respond to similar problems, so I think there must be some problems with your server recentlyLooking at this picture, players from other countries also respond to similar problems, so I think there must be some problems with your server

I am in China and I can't visit gallery either. VPN doesn't work.
I wonder if your server have some problems.
Could you please give us a reply, or just tell us if our government locked something? Thank you!

Take a look at this link, I think this is the same problem .Other players in other countries have similar problems, So this problem still exists and has not been really solved.I am a xboxone player in china , So this is more inconvenient for me than other computer players because It is much more difficult for xboxone player to use some software that changes IP, such as VPN,And using a VPN now doesn't work。Please slove this problem. And this game in PC has just been updated in Simplified Chinese, which means that you still welcome Chinese players, and you don’t want this problem to continue, right?

I've figured it out! If you're using Astrill you need to be in stealth mode.
