[GALLERY] Follower Names starred out/anonymous

My gallery has been like this from the beginning from the year and in between I have reset my pc I have repaired my pc, and I have fixed bugs with my game so I'm assuming this is an online error from the EA server for the gallery when I go to my friends list on the gallery some of the people I have Followed say they are anonymous but when I go to their profile I get there full name 

I also searched for other people with this problem and so far, I could not find anyone

  • I've noticed the same issue with some people I follow whose names is set as "Anonymous". If I search for them by name, i find them in the gallery and i see their full name displayed. It's not that bad, but it's a little annoying.

    I've noticed this too. It's been around for me since they started "updating" the gallery a couple of years ago.

    I got the same issue as cebmarin​, and it's been like this for 1.5 - 2 ish years for me. 
    At least the followers count would be able to show if I gave it some loading time before, but the past year it hasn't worked at all.. 

    The "anonymous" error is just stupid, but what is most frustrating is not being able to check my own followers count - when I even get the full followers count for everyone I follow, including those who are marked as "anonymous". 

    How can it be so hard to fix something as simple as a in-game sharing platform, especially for a multi billionaire company? Why and how are you planning to make Project Rene an online multiplayer game when not even the Sims 4 Gallery works properly? As a front-end developer myself, quit messing around EA, srsly

    This has been a problem since they updated the Gallery a couple of years ago.  Also since then, I have noticed missing uploads either I have put up or others have uploaded and I wanted to download. It's not because of Mods because I have ticked for Modded gallery uploads as well.

    Hola!

    I already reported this bug two years ago but the moderators discarded it so thanks I guess. I didnt have this issue (supposedly "fixed") until the For Rent patch. Ever since I'm unable to see more than 5 rows in my favourites, it wont load further. It's really annoying bc if I have to download every creation I like my tray file would have 100GB quickly... Also what I reported back then for this second gallery bug still stands: 99% of players I follow or who follow me are marked as "anonymous". I hope they fix this anytime soon. None of these two bugs are related with Mods bc it's the same when I play without mods so. Repairing the game, clearing cache, etc, nothing works. Gallery is a very important feature to me so I'm very annoyed by this not being fixed for 2 years... Kind regards
