[GALLERY] 'Using only These' pack filter has no results in some cases

Hi babyraspberries​ 

I'm seeing the same so I moved this to the bug forum. There are a few filters that don't work with Using only these if it switches to custom it's sometimes also the case but I can't find a pattern. One time it works to deselect a pack and other times it gives no result found.

Anyways, moved this to the bug forum.

Hey! Yeah, I have this issue too. I suspect this happens because the filter doesn't mix and match the packs selected and shows builds with only *those* packs you selected and that amount of packs only. No more, no less. Meaning that if you have a strange pack combination, it will show no results because it's programmed in a very non intuitive way.

Can we have a fix for this? What's the point of a toggle that gives us no results most of the time?

I have exactly the same problem! I don't have all of the packs. So when I want to find something that I can put into my save I am unable to find anything suitable, because I will only see lots/households that will be missing items :( It is very annoying and I hate it. 

What is the point of even having a galery if I can't really use it?? I hope this gets fixed soon, because I have been having this issue for a couple months now.

I'm almost certain this is because it requires gallery items to have all selected packs instead of any selected packs.  Unfortunately, until/unless this gets fixed I think the best option is to manually select your desired packs, with the filter on, until it stops showing anything, which is just tedious.

I have no idea why they can't just revert back to the old, perfectly functional gallery that no one was complaining about.

I'm also experiencing this on xbox.

So I tested this, and it looks like gallery items need to include all the selected packs to show up.

So apparently the more add-ons you own, the less you actually see… which is kind of ironic.

At this point, I’ve probably bought too many packs, because now nothing shows up when I search in the gallery. 

So yeah… I don’t think I’ll be buying any more add-ons, since it basically makes the gallery unusable for me. 😕

Love how this most recent update supposedly "resolves issues with the gallery filters."

No.  No it does not.

My game is up to date as of April 30th, 2026. I play on PC without any mods or CC.

My issues with the gallery started a month or two before the "by design" explanation was dropped, when I saw lots in the gallery with packs I do not own even with the "Show Owned" option. The pack selection was explained by being inclusive instead of exclusive, so lots and households appearing in the results with selected packs showed results with packs that are not owned too. Fine, even if I don't agree with how it's "supposed" to work, I adapted begrudgingly. Now, they added the option to "Using Only These", which I was happy about because FINALLY I'd be able to browse items on the gallery that required only the packs I own... only to be met with the "No Results Found" EVERY SINGLE TIME, which is impossible because I own almost all the EPs, all the GPs except Parenthood, half of the Stuff Packs and a few Kits.

This is more than annoying, it has become exhausting and quite frankly, enraging. The problems with the Gallery Filters have been going on for months now. The "old" Gallery was working perfectly fine, it was simple to use and the results showed us what we wanted with ONLY the packs that we have, now we have to go around the merry-go-round and it doesn't even work... How hard would it be to change the selected packs as being exclusive rather than inclusive, instead of just adding more options that don't even work?
