[GALLERY] 'Timed Out' error when saving lot to Library but does upload

What is happening: Prior to the Jan 13 update, I received a generic "server error" when I tried to save lots to my gallery. Following the patch notes that said that this issue was fixed, I went through some of my lots to back them up to my library with my updated game.

Attempting to upload a lot now gives me an error message reading "Timed out during upload. Please check internet connection or try again in a minute." When I exit out from this message by clicking "Okay," I return to the window that allows you to set bedrooms/bathrooms and add a description to the lot before uploading. After a minute or two, I then get a green pop-up notification in the corner that the lot has been saved to my library, and it is indeed there when I check. I have not yet tested this with the "Upload to Gallery" button, only the "Save to Library" button.

What I expect to see: I think it would be more useful to just have the "uploading to Gallery" loading animation for longer if it is just continuing to upload it in the background, as it's more reliable than getting an error message and then it actually working a couple of minutes later.

Packs: All except Get Famous, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Journey to Batuu, Fitness, Spooky, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Bowling, and some of the kits

Mods: MCCC, TOOL, Better Build Buy

Edit By crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title

    I had been waiting for the library/ gallery uploads fix on the 13th with the update. Since the update, I’m still not able to upload my lots or families. I get a pop up saying “timed out during upload. Please check your internet connection or try again in a minute.”

     

    I have clear cache, repaired the game. Taken out all mods, turned off my firewall, started the sims 4 as administrator, I logged into my account on a different PC to see if the issue was my Laptop. But I still had the same issue. I turned my wifi off and used my phone as a hotspot to see if it was my wifi. 
    it’s been months and months of not being able to upload anything.

    Same here but only with lots! My best guess with my lot is that when I uploaded it with CC, some of the things were that weird purple.
