The Sims 4 receives updates relatively often, and it is not uncommon for these patches to break certain aspects of the game. Recently, the in-game Gallery has been acting up for many players. It loads much slower, oftentimes doesn't show many or any results, and filters don't seem to work properly.

The community has voiced how disgruntled they are with this problem, and it is up to the developers to issue a patch and fix it. For now, players have tried everything they can and have come up with some tricks that might help fix the issue with The Sims 4 gallery.

When trying to fix The Sims 4 gallery, disabling or uninstalling mods won't do a thing. There are ways to find some builds, but currently, it is not possible to completely resolve the issue. Here is how to search up items on the gallery and increase the chances of avoiding the "No Results Found" problem:

Use the Following Filter

The Following content filter seems to work most of the time, so if players follow any creators, they will likely be able to view their content.

Use Hashtags

Writing or selecting a trending hashtag will look up items whose content creators associated with the tag.

Go Back and Forth With Tags and Filters

If the player notices that it's taking too long for a hashtag or a filter to load, they can click on another tag or filter and then retry it in an attempt to reload.

While it doesn't work 100 percent of the time, it will sometimes actually load the desired content and allow players to look through it. Unfortunately, it might fail to load more gallery uploads if players continue to scroll down.
