Ever since the latest update for The Sims 4’s Gallery many Simmers have started noticing that their new creations are not getting recognition like they did before. Considering the fact that the new update changed the default filter of creations shown on The Gallery’s front screen from Newest to Popular Now it’s quite possible that this change is affecting plenty of people.
SimGurus admit that lowering the amount of downloads on new creations wasn’t their intent and that they plan to revert back the default filters soon. How soon? It’s not known yet but definitely not in the update that’s confirmed to be coming this Thursday.
There is frustration with the updated default search in the Gallery. We’ll revert it to Newest in a future update so that smaller creators will be more easily discovered. However, due to our schedule, this update won’t be released for a bit. We appreciate your patience!

We didn’t want to just leave the Gallery issue quiet as we know it’s really frustrating folks. I know it sucks to say “it’ll be a bit,” but I’d rather do that then leave you in the dark in this case. The timing for the fix and our release schedule sadly isn’t ideal.

Ultimately sometimes our good intentions don’t quite pan out in reality. That’s game development. So, as long as we make it right, hopefully you’ll bear with us! We meant well, it didn’t work, we’ll fix it.

It’s less a priority window per se and more about the timing of releases, when we can get QA to check it, all of that. I remember in July I had to tell someone we couldn’t do something for December b/c it “wasn’t far enough out.” We just have a wild lead time on stuff. https://t.co/tvPfDxbXhw
