Thanks to Anadius it now is possible to access the gallery without an original DLC of the Sims 4 game.
Step 1 (create an account)
- When you don’t have an EA account already create one (click here)
- Close Origin
Step 2 (install script)
- Use Chrome or Firefox as your internet-browser

- Select the item you want to download, click on the download button, save it
- When you also want some more items repeat the step above
- Close the gallery
Step 4 (add item(s) to your game)
- Open your saved download with Winrar
- Copy the files of the extracted download to your folder C:\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray

How do I install the script into TamperMonkey?
Nevermind, figured it out.
Just paste the script in Tampermonkey
Maybe this youtube video will help, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3JTM0uADuQ
How do I know that the script is installed?
@Anonymous
In your browser check the icons top right in Chrome.
When you see the ikon for Tampermonkey you’re ok.
Does this work for Mac?
I don’t know as I don’t have a Mac and can’t try it out.
If you do what Tia suggests, you will no longer “own” the expansion packs.
Hey, I’m confused on how you install the script.
Hi, is there a way to change my gallery name? I mean, every time I want to make a sim or a building and save it to the galley, it says “By CODEX” which means it isn’t original but is there a way to change that? So maybe I can share my builds with my friends and they will see my name instead.

Not as far as I know unless you buy the base game at least.
Seach for the codex file which you can probably find in your program files Eg C:\Program Files (x64)\The Sims 4\Game\Bin\codex. When you open the codex file under profile you can change the persona name from “codex” to “yourusername” and save
