Benefits with the new gallery System

________________________________________________________ There are Pros and Cons ofc and here is what I have found out:

Before the Gallery changes I had very few Dls and few Favs from my friends/followers. After the gallery changes I quickly understood the IDEA BEHIND the gallery changes. I re-iploaded most of my sims and the differnce in DLs was HUGE. And those are the same sims. One can ask how come? Did my sims suddenly bceame better due to the patch? Hardly, I uploaded the SAME sims for the sake of the experiment. Then, according to some ideas presented here, I might be a so called self-downloader so called "DL-cheater". Since I uploaded over 15 creations at once, the idea of "cheating"can be confronted with the question: How much do I need in order to self-DL 50 creations in order to keep the floting on the Pop tab? or Is there something else that makes the creations to survive the gallery changes? Still, I do not have THE answer to that but this is what I have observed since right after the patch: 1 self-Dl does not work in the new system 2 Everyone has a VERY good chance in the new system and is not dependent on followers likes because of the rapid changes of pictures 3 The number of DL is more consistant with number of Followers (the more DLs the more followers) 4 It is all a matter of TASTE. If the public LIKES your creation you get lots of DLs. Negative effects 1 Quality seem to be less important - the presentation picture is of the essence and a very specific TYPE of sims and builds (no changes at all indded compared to how it was before) 2 Only 3-5 rows on top of the Pop tab change less rapidly thus making the system and possibilitues UNEVEN 3 THE problem is that it is much harder to find OLD creations if one uses tags and THAT is a great problem because there is no TAB CALLED "OLDER" and now we only see the popular/most pop and newest In the livestream video it is EVIDENT that MAxis/EA whatever WANT to BOOST the original and non-mainstream creator. Those featured were #TheLonnykins, #13Vader and #ElocineCinQuatre. These players are NOT mainstream. The new system is in many ways INGENIOUS and I looove every minute of it. However, in order to SURVIVE the gallery changes a creator has to become mainstream AND deliver the PUBLIC what they want. Simple marketing. So, let us not forget, that the odd. the unusual, the non-mainstream etc. will ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS be in the shadow of THE mainstream in IRL and Sims gallery.

I am not wcif friendly. my mods folder is just a long list of 2k+ files, so you can imagine just how difficult it would be for me to find a couple obscure items.
