Ideas
I did some testing on this issue and I think some of these changes were done on purpose. This change seems to have to do with privacy settings on the users account. I did some testing with MapleSimmer and changing the account settings enabled me to see her stuff again, wenn I couldn't before.
Your privacy settings are on your EA account. Remember, it depends on the other users settings if you can see their stuff or not, not your own. Changing this for yourself only allows others to see yours.
Click on Settings in EA app (either on the three lines or under your Avatar)
Under Privacy click on Manage. This will open a web browers.
scroll down to privacy settings and click the arrow.
Set the option how you want these. These are the people that can then actually see your stuff on the gallery. It takes up to 24 hours to become visible.
This was probably changed because of the many stealing and other complaints and people just wanting their own space in the gallery.
I do think this has three flaws currently.
- Maxis should be available to everyone.
- For me, people that are hidden through the followers page do still yield in results in the gallery. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to work cause if it is, I don't really understand the reasoning for hiding the rest.
- I would prefer a separate option for the gallery and not tie it to my profile details.
