Subject: The Sims 4 Gallery Feedback: Separate Original Uploads From Credited Reuploads
Hello The Sims Team,
I’d like to submit feedback concerning how creator attribution affects the Gallery’s Profile Showcase and My Shared Content catalog.
My Gallery profile is BRITTVW2020, and my creations are uploaded under BRITTBRITT2020.
I actively encourage other players to download, modify, and repost my creations. I appreciate the Gallery’s ability to preserve original creator attribution, and I enjoy seeing how other players reinterpret my work.
However, I’ve noticed that creations uploaded by other players, which credit me as the original creator, are appearing within My Shared Content on my profile.
These items also appear to be included in the rotating Profile Showcase.
This creates a confusing experience because my own uploads are displayed alongside creations published by completely different accounts.
I’m happy for other creators to receive downloads and recognition for their adaptations. My concern isn’t their ability to reuse the work. It’s that visitors to my profile may have difficulty identifying which uploads I personally published.
I’d like to suggest separating these categories:
- My Original Uploads: Creations published directly by the profile owner.
- Creations Based on Mine: Reuploads and adaptations that retain original creator attribution.
- Customizable Showcase: A featured area controlled by the profile owner, displaying selected creations from their own uploads.
This would preserve original creator recognition, celebrate community creativity, and give players greater control over how their personal Gallery profiles are presented.
I have screenshots showing different uploader names appearing under My Shared Content.
I would appreciate clarification on whether this behavior is intentional, as well as consideration of these improvements.
Thank you for your time.

I absolutely agree with all of your suggestions, a "creations based on mine" section would be nice to have (Optionally! Like you can enable it or not on your profile) and being able to personally curate your own gallery would add so much more creativity for creators! Please consider this, EA!
