** Please note that if you are running Sims 4 Legacy Edition, the Gallery has been removed. As the legacy edition is incompatible with future game patches.
** Game updates can cause issues with mods and custom content. These may become outdated with each new game update. - A list of outdated mods/cc can be found at the official forum.
Please check with the creators to see if there are updates to the mods and cc you use.
If you are having problems with the gallery, exit the game and move the mods folder to the desktop and delete the localthumbcache.package file from the Documents/Sims 4 folder to help troubleshoot. Launch the game again and try accessing the gallery again to see if that helps.

Original post under spoiler
Hello!
I am having trouble loading any content when I access the community gallery.
Every search comes up with no results found. Now... to start off, so that it's clear what I've already done to remedy this:
1. I've cleared the cache
2. I've made sure I'm connected and logged in to Origin.
3. I've made sure that I have 'all' results selected every time.
4. I've tried all three different filters: Newest, Most Popular and Popular Now.
5. I've tried very popular searches that have always come up with results before- as in, 'cafe' in item name or #retail.
I'm not getting anything at all, and as I don't like to build on my own, I rely heavily on the gallery for my lots.
