[CURRENT ISSUE] Gallery not Sorting Properly

[marjia]

@romylunax There is nothing else to do. I'm sure they know it's broken and they don't want to talk about it for some reason. A real slap in the face to the creators who make the game so much fun.

[romylunax]

they know for sure. Many people have this bug. I don't know why they won't take the time to fix this. And indeed, it's sad for those who build such beautiful creations, but it won't be seen by many people because of this issue. Also sick of the ' clean your cache, or repair your game ' talk. Sometimes the issue is EA themselve..

The gallery is broken again. Popular now was showing all builds correctly sorted by downloads for 2 whole days. Now it's only showing 99 DL and under. Is this intentional?

[reghead121]

The gallery no longer sorts any category from most DL to least. Seeing mostly low DL. Also, as I scroll down, they keep repeating some of the same ones. Almost impossible to find the higher quality builds and characters.

@reghead121 The gallery actually worked again for four days after the last expansion. Then they screwed it up again. I believe they are doing this to us on purpose and refuse to explain to us mere mortals who pay the bills. I am so disgusted by the way Maxis has treated the builders on this subject and have given up. Playing other NON EA games for now.

Lol. Oh man! I'm sorry I missed when it worked again for those 5 min. In the last two years my playing has become so much less in part because of this mess. I literally came on this thread hoping someeee fix had been found since the last time I checked in. I've always been mostly a builder and prior to 2020, a huge part of that was frankly enjoying other people's builds, enjoying their creativity and finding new builders who were just really really good at what they did. So for me it's not a small thing that I don't have access to those types of extraordinary builds anymore. It's the removal of 1/3 of how and why I played this game. It's super disappointing that this problem hasn't even been acknowledged much less fixed. Super super disappointed.
