Looking to increase your chances of getting a “fav” on your latest Sims 4 Gallery creations? Well SimguruDrake has taken to the official forum with an inside look at the process behind selecting favorites on the official Maxis Gallery account.

Hello everyone!

I’ve been working with our team to get something together for all of you wonderful builders and Sims creators to know our process when providing a Maxis Fave.

I want to first address that yes, we do check lots and Sims that we curate to make sure that they appear in game as they do in the screenshot. There are several things that we check for as we want all players to have the best experience with your creations.

I want to note that we do not enable MOO when checking any lots / rooms.

Households

Does the household have a backstory? (Not a must have but we really do enjoy reading the stories you create and think that other players do as well.)

Does the household have custom content? (If so it will automatically be rejected as it is not official Maxis created content.)

Does the household have more than one look? –Nothing like downloading a Sim who only has their Everyday attire done and the rest were simply forgotten.

Rooms

When placing the room does it appear as it does in the thumbnail?

What panning around the room do you notice any flickering?

When Sims enter the room can they view and use the objects within it?

Does the room have any custom content? (If so it will automatically be rejected as it is not official Maxis created content.)

Lots

This is where things get tricky. We know a lot of you use the MOO cheat (and we LOVE the amazing things you create with it) but not all users are aware of this cheat. So when we check the lots we do so without enabling cheats.

When placing the lot does it appear as it does in the thumbnail? Are there any floating, missing, or resized objects?

When panning around the lot do you notice any flickering?

When going room by room do you notice if there are any objects flickering that used MOO to place them there?

Can Sims get to every room in the lot?

Can Sims get out of every room in the lot?

If there is water can they easily swim in it and get out without issues?

Can Sims view and use the objects within the lot?

Does the lot have custom content? (If so it will automatically be rejected as it is not official Maxis created content.)
