Can't upload lot to gallery, file too large

Hi all, I just tried to upload a museum I just made to the gallery and the game wouldn't let me. It says the file is too large. I think it's because it's filled with non-game art (i.e. art created by other simmers). I'd hate to take the art out although I could make several pictures pieces smaller in size. Has anyone else had this problem & have any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Hello
    Try coming completely out of the game. Then delete the cache files

    Then go back into the game and test to see if you can upload the build then.
  • Thank you for your help @rosemow! With the deletion of the cache files and the reduction in size of some of the paintings, I was able to get the lot uploaded. :)

    I don't know what we would do without you!
  • I am glad that you have been able to upload the build :) That is great!

    Is this a big issue using art created by other simmers if you have too many in your build what's the limit then, didn't know that there could be a problem with this
  • @chips46, yes I think it can be an issue. I had about 15-18 enlarged paintings and about 75-80 smaller paintings (all by other simmers). The lot would not load because the game said it was too big. I had to cut 15-20 paintings and reduce the size of the enlarged paintings before it would load. And the game said the lot was 10 MB. So I do think that using more than 80 of other simmers paintings may cause problems with uploading (depending on the size of the paintings).
