The Sims 4 Gallery? [CLOSED]

TheBoringGamer wrote:I'm not sure if I should be posting this here, but before the City Living patch came out for the cracked version of the game, the gallery exchange on G4TW was temporarily closed because the game couldn't recognize gallery items. I was just wondering if anyone has tested if it works now, because I downloaded several lots from tumblr and they all work perfectly. I'm assuming it should work since the way you posted the gallery items was by downloading the tray files. I just want to know when we can start requesting items again. Thanks!

For starters, the reason it's not opened yet is because I'm nominally the only (active) Staff member with access to a legit TS4 base game, and I - at least currently - neither have the time nor inclination to take on this type of 'additional duty' on my own. 

The plan was/is to wait for @kitty10136, since she is currently absent, and then slightly re-organize a few things in the section. 

Time will tell how we'll proceed. You will notice when we re-open the section.

Hello @TheBoringGamer,

I moved your post to "Site Navigation & Suggestions", mostly because I assume that a lot of people are interested in this question, and also because I hope that as many users as possible are going to see the topic (and my following reply).

Essentially what I told user @Cat_Eye earlier here:

It's really just that. Keep in mind that this is really just an extra service from us, and - I have to admit - I have always been very skeptical about this kind of support. And this is also one of the (very few) instances where I would actually suggest, that if people are so 'addicted' to these Gallery-items (because apparently a lot of creators in the "sim-o-sphere", such as various sim-bloggers/YouTubers, only upload to said Gallery) it may be at least worth considering to purchase that base game on Origin. But alas, it is only a suggestion from me. If we do re-open the section, you can rest assured we won't make a difference between users who request a lot of stuff, and those who only request 1-2 items.

If it wasn't for kitty volunteering to do most of that section, the entire idea would have never come to fruition.

The TS4 Gallery-section turned out to be well-accepted, and we shall see. At that point though I really can't give an ETA about a re-opening, but as said, you will surely notice when we do so. 

ChineseHamster wrote:(...) or is getting a legit TS4 base game the only solution?

Cat_Eye wrote:Just one question. If you have just the base game on Origin, can you download also lots and sims that use content from the expansion packs and stuff packs? If so, do they get removed while you download it or are they functional once you put the tray files to the folder of the cracked game?

I'm working on it because having not played Sims 4 for a while, I'm actually missing it. I'll be back as soon as possible especially now that there has been an update.

So that we have two (2) Helpers for the section, right from the start, when we resume.

Sorry to hear that
