Please use this thread going forward: Gallery screenshot is blocked by trees/objects on several lots | EA Forums - 12002397
People are still continually having this issue. I tried to figure out a work around to avoid this and I made a Gallery thumbnail guide to help you all:
Hope this isn't "necro posting", but I wanted to comment that the issue is still alive and blocking views as of April 2022. I'm building in Caldera Camp in Island Living. I guess it's lucky that the far from the house rock is only blocking the left-hand side of the building and switching to evening view lets it show as a rock rather than a black blob. The simplest way to solve that would be to give us "poses" for the house as is done for the Sims in CAS. Too many different views and screenshots could be confusing, but ones closer to the house or farther, left view, right view should be doable? ( I know I could raise the land to "lower" the view of the rock, but that would make the download different too.)
Thanks
