Gallery option not available on xbox

I play on console (Xbox) I haven't played in a about two months so I'm not sure how long this has been a problem. I've been playing for a week now and I noticed that I can't access the gallery. The gallery isn't even an option. I'm only allowed to access my library. I also can't claim any event perks. It says that I need to connect to the Internet which is ironic because of I wasn't connected to the Internet I wouldn't even be able to load the game. Half the time I don't get a notification to send my teens to highschool, and I can't do any after school activities . My game has never been so broken before. Well on the bright side it's no longer raining in my sims house🤣🤣
