[GALLERY] Uploaded items disappearing and showing up inconsistently
After the 16.04.26 patch, some items I have uploaded to the Gallery are currently not showing up for me, but some are showing up for friends when they check my Gallery. Some items are not showing up for either of us, regardless of Gallery filters used. I can still see the completely disappeared items in my Library, however, meaning that at least their tray files are intact locally, and could be reuploaded later. No CC, no Mods. Attached are two screenshots from friends, one from the Sims 4, one from the mobile website. Two screenshots of what I see in my own Gallery, as well as three screenshots of a total of four items that do not show up at all for any of us.
Can't interact in-game with marketplace bought kit items
Hi, so I recently purchased three kits: Industrial Loft, Sleek Bathroom, and Modern Luxe. I did so through the marketplace using Moolas. Now when I open the build-mode I can place the items like normal, but I am unable to get my sims to interact with any of the items in-game. I don't have any mods installed and I have a bunch of packs and kits installed but never had such an issue. Would love to find a fix for this. Thanks in advance. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title
[GALLERY] Missing maker packs not showing
I've tested this with several packs and different players now. I uploaded a room with base game and Peacemakers Spindl Dining room. To me, and to everyone else viewing - it shows as not using any pack specific items. Having folks test it who specifically did not have Peacemaker's kit, it does not show as missing items in the gallery. When they place the room - then they get a notice that the items are missing and some have been replaced. Images attached. The room is still on the gallery for verification. Edit By crinrict: Removed some thread tags. Please ONLY put tags for platforms you have tested this on. Since Playstation/Xbox aren't updated and don't have the gallery atm, they won't have the issue at this point. Also only choose either Never or mods removed as they contradict each other.
Item saved from web gallery no longer available
I'm on PC and I've just updated my game today. When I was offline a few days ago, I went onto the web version of the gallery and downloaded a couple of items, but couldn't access them because my game was outdated. Now this message, "oops items from web version of the gallery is no longer available" keeps popping up every time I open my game and during random times in the middle of my gameplay. I've already tried deleting caches, removing the items I've downloaded from the web version, adding them back, nothing helped.
[RL] Hats/Accessories Over Generate on NPCs
Issue Description: After installing the Royalty and Legacy expansion pack, hats and accessories from this pack appear on NPCs and Sims who age up at a much higher rate than standard accessories. This creates frequent mismatched or cluttered outfits. Additionally, accessories tagged for Feminine Frame Sims are spawning on Masculine Frame Sims, and items tagged for specific outfit categories (e.g., Fromal, Party) are spawning on the wrong categories (e.g., Everyday or Athletic). Expected Behavior: Randomization Weighting: Royalty pack accessories should have the same random generation frequency as other packs (or a toggle setting to control spawn rates). Currently, they overpopulate NPC wardrobes. Gender Tagging: Items tagged Feminine should not generate on Masculine framed Sims, and vice versa. Category Tagging: Gloves or hats tagged for "Formal" wear should not spawn on an NPC wearing "Sleepwear" or "Hot Weather" outfits. Steps to Reproduce: Load a save file and play for several in-game days. Observe randomly generated Townies (NPCs) or Sims who age up from Child to Teen/Adult. Review their generated outfits in CAS (Manage Households or using cas.fulleditmode). Actual Result: NPCs and newly aged-up Sims frequently wear gloves or specific legacy hats/accessories. Masculine Sims are found wearing hats or jewelry tagged as Feminine. A Sim generated in Hot Weather wear might be wearing a gloves or a specific hat that is only valid for Costume/Formal. This occurs at a disproportionately high rate compared to standard hats (e.g., beanies, baseball caps) from the Base Game or other packs. Additional Notes: This is likely due to incorrect CAS part tagging in the pack’s tuning files (e.g., lacking allow_random flags set to False, or missing proper outfit_category and gender restrictions) . Some players have reported general performance and UI lag with this pack, but this specific "wardrobe pollution" issue is related to random generation logic . The Sims 4 generally struggles with filtering categories in CAS, but this pack exacerbates the issue by flooding the random pool . Impact: Moderate to High. Breaks immersion significantly for players who enjoy realistic or historically inspired gameplay. Players must manually edit every generated Sim to remove out-of-place gloves, hats, and jewelry, which is tedious.[GALLERY] Endless loading/RedX on some upload
My gallery has always been extremely slow, but at least it used to work. For months now, I haven't been able to save Sims or lots to the gallery; I keep getting the “timeout during upload” message. And now, since last month, I can't access items in the gallery. I search, and some items load their thumbnails, while others don’t; the ones that show the thumbnail take several MINUTES to load when I click on them, and eventually display a “corrupted file” message. I tried the factory reset recommended here, and it didn’t help: in fact, this time not even the item thumbnails loaded. This has really ruined my gaming experience. I had to put my Forever Savefile project on hold because I can’t get new lots or Sims from the gallery. Edit By crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Titlegame freezes when baby is born
My sim is pregnant and when she has the baby the game freezes during the naming of the baby. the screen comes up to name the baby, but it check mark button stays unhighlighted and when you hover over it it just says you must assign a name even though a name has been selected. I tried originally to send her to the hospital on her own, then i went with her and then she had the baby at home. both with and with out MODs added. I tried to name the baby myself and to have it auto fill. I also tried to repair the game the game just freezes and I have to go into the task manager to get out of the game.Fast Forwarding freezes game
I press fast forward button, time is frozen after the game start around 10 secs and everything I can't click in. This satuation doesn't appear before the update.I try to reset the sim but it is not working.Anyone can teach me how to solve this problem?

Issue Description: When a Sim in the Freelancer career becomes pregnant, they receive a notification stating they can take time off due to pregnancy. However, selecting this option has no effect. The Freelancer career lacks any mechanism for taking paid time off or pausing active gigs, rendering the pregnancy leave notification non-functional. Expected Behavior: Pregnant Sims in the Freelancer career should be able to take paid time off, similar to traditional careers. According to game mechanics, family leave allows Sims to take time off work with pay, mimicking real-world parental leave policies . This period allows them to prepare for the baby without career obligations, and Sims continue to receive regular pay during this leave . Steps to Reproduce: Have a Sim join the Freelancer career (any track: Programmer, Writer, Artist, etc.). Have the Sim become pregnant (via "Try for Baby" interaction). Wait for the pregnancy to progress and the "Your Sim can now take family leave" notification to appear . Attempt to take the offered leave. Observe the effect on the Sim's Freelancer career and active gigs. Actual Result: The pregnancy leave notification appears, but taking it has no effect. The Freelancer career has no vacation day system or ability to pause active gigs. Unlike traditional careers where Sims can take paid time off without career penalties, Freelancers cannot pause their work . Additional Notes: This appears to be an incompatibility between the Freelancer career system and the pregnancy leave system. The Freelancer career operates on a gig-by-gig basis rather than a standard work schedule . The pregnancy leave system was restored to pre-July 2025 functionality in a patch that addressed pregnancy-related issues, but this did not resolve Freelancer incompatibility . Impact: Moderate. Pregnant Freelancer Sims receive misleading notifications about benefits they cannot actually use. This forces players to either continue working through pregnancy (ignoring the notification) or abandon active gigs without pay, unlike Sims in traditional careers who can take paid, penalty-free leave.
