Hi Bbwolf20
I've not heard of photos corrupting lots.
Do you have those lots that gave you issues placing in the gallery still and could post the name here ?
Do you want to preserve the photos or do you not care about them ?

I don't care too much about preserving the photos. It wasn't that many photos in the two households anyhow. I was just assuming the photo bug corrupted the entire builds because I was unable to place the entire builds in a lot on another save. I tried multiple ways to do it, but all it ever did was show the 'move house' cursor with no building. Also I was having difficulty saving the lots to my library and even downloading them on the gallery. I kept getting a "Timed out" message. I was able to place other builds just fine, but not the ones that had the blacked out photos. When googling, I thought I saw somewhere that one reason I might not be able to place a build was because it had blacked-out photos, but I can't find that specific link again.
I have deleted the whole game and reinstalled it, and naturally The Sims reinstalled with the latest update. And after that, I was still unable to place the full build down on the lot. It just kept showing the 'move house' cursor, so I had to put the build down room by room. I will try again to see if I can post the full builds on the gallery.

I was able to upload one of the lots onto the gallery. The second one wouldn't upload to the gallery. Just kept giving me an error issue. The one that worked is called Pizzeria and Home. I's under my name BWOLF_20. I suppose you can see if you can upload this lot okay. Tried it again today and still couldn't load it onto a lot. Keep me updated :)

The time out issue has different theories. Someone said it was a lot trait for them. I have been able to upload lots with black photos fine.
Downloading also can have lots of issues.
If you don't care about the photos I would just delete them all before uploading I guess,
EDIT: Looks like this error: 'System Error' when placing lot | EA Forums - 12116161
Don't know what the theory on this is. Would be good if you could post and upvote there.
