    @crinrict Yes,  its not working very well today, 5 Jan 2021 @2340 Windows 10.

    haven't been able to connect to the gallery, and when I can, I'm unable to delete my own uploaded items, and given a generic error. i notice a lot of people have this same problem.

        @crinrict I am having the same issues myself. I checked my anti-virus software and it works fine, reinstalled Origin and The Sims 4 plus repaired the game but to no avail plus it is getting slow loading on to the gallery and I’m getting frustrated
