Please use this thread going forward: Gallery screenshot is blocked by trees/objects on several lots | EA Forums - 12002397
Did anyone find a way to fix this yet... it's happening on all of my lots that are over 30 by 30. I've tried moving them, it just blocks the view with something else. I've tried reducing my graphics, nothing. I've tried going in with a sim in live mode, it's still blocked. This is making the sparked challenge almost impossible for me.
I found a workaround for this. For me, it was related to how tall the building was.
I bulldozed The Lighthouse in Windenburg, double checked the image would be fine uploading to the Gallery. No trees in the way.
Then I built a few floors and a tall roof, checked again, and there were trees in the way.
I experimented a bit, and long story short my solution was to lower the roof a bit and the trees disappeared.
I'm sure it won't work for all the lots listed in this thread, but if you've checked the lot beforehand and it's fine, it's worth experimenting with the height of the building because it seems to cause the camera to zoom in/out and include trees/make them disappear.
