Hi y'all!
This may seem trivial to some, but I wanted to report it anyway because it seems odd and I know, personally, it's going to bother me. Even if I'm the only one! lol
Something seems to be bugged with the scaling/zoom/positioning of *new* library and gallery photos after the newest patch. I did some testing, and it is only affecting households with 5 or more sims. Photos generated when you save/upload a household after the patch appear substantially more zoomed out than before and slightly right-of-center.
I originally discovered this playing on my XBox Series X, but I called my best friend and had them test it out on PC. They confirmed the same issue is happening on that platform as well.
I took some screenshots to share. I saved the current generation of my legacy family on 7/16, before the patch-- and again, afterwards on 7/20-- today. They're each labeled with the date they were saved. I also took a screenshot of what it looks like from the "load game" screen where the pictures are affected just the same way.
Let me know if I'm the only one annoyed by this! lol
I think it's related to the horses. When I added one the way my Sim zoomed out is like how it looks in the gallery. It's likely to make room for them even if you don't add one. If there is a bug my guess would be it should only shrink when you add a horse and not all the time.
