EA StaffHi @FrogPrince75,
It seems you already figured out what was happening here, but just in case I'm going to try explain.
There are 3 different ways of searching in The Gallery:
- By item name - you mention you used: 'xxx' is a FrogPrince creation. Searching for 'FrogPrince' would give you the items as a result as FrogPrince is in the name.
- By EA Origin ID - searching for FrogPrince doesn't give any results as your EA ID is YOB73TOX.
- By hashtag - as you also mention you used FrogPrince as hashtag on your creations, searching by hashtag will also give you your creations as a result.
The way item names show in the Gallery has changed, that's why you might have noticed the difference now.
Forums.thesims.com forum or The Sims 3 username and your EA Origin ID are not related - that's why you have FrogPrince as forum name but not as your EA Origin ID.
You can change your EA Origin ID from here, but keep in mind already uploaded creations will keep showing your current EA Origin ID (YOB73TOX): https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/aboutme/index.
I would highly recommend a change if you have used it as a password somewhere.
Hope this helps clarify, but don't hesitate share your questions if you have any!
Cheers,

In all the years I have played the Sims, the Origin ID. has never been used to identify creations - that is until now. Frog Prince identifies persona. Y0B73TOX shouts password which I have thought it always was and necessary to access Origin. I am very unhappy with the change specially when it was done without notice. I don't know why there was a need for a change other than somebody had a bright idea and never mind the confusion that resulted over the change. People were left on their own to figure out how to work the new system which I cannot see in any way as being an improvement. I notice it cannot be changed. For me another Origin ID will only add to the confusion. My only other option might be to remove all my creations from the gallery. I am extremely disappointed.
