Help finding a gallery item I downloaded?

[mirandactyl]

Dumb/easy question?? I've recently downloaded some really cool items from the gallery. I wanted to recommend these items to my friends. However, I didn't actually "Save" the items to my library, nor did I favorite them. I just clicked them and placed them directly into my current game. Unfortunately I changed the names of the lots too when I placed them.

Is there a way to find these items in the gallery again? Like, a download history or something? They were all common things like "2 bedroom house" that I spent hours scrolling through to select, and so far I haven't had luck finding them again or remembering the original search terms I used.

I also wish there was a way to read the description where the creator lists the hashtags and stuff? There must be a way to view that in-game, I'm just missing it.

Thanks!

@mirandactyl Unfortunately, if you did not save the lot to your library first but directly placed the lot then overwrote the name of the lot, I think the only chance you have for finding the original is by retrieving the creator's name and searching the gallery for this creator's lots, which should work just fine. To do this...

In this example I placed another creator's lot in my game and renamed the lot:

Now, from within the lot in your game, save this lot to your library as follows:
Click the "Save to My Library" icon and you will see a dropdown. In that dropdown click the image of a home...


After you have saved the lot to your library you will see that the lot will also show the original creator's name as you see below (see "Original by:"):

@SheriGR HOORAY! Yes; this is exactly what I needed. No wonder you're a "champion." Thanks a million!
