Hello, I need some help.
I have a lot I have been using with my family for a few generations. I understand that there is a file size limit for uploading lots to the Gallery (google search revealed this to be 10mb). However, I seem to be unable to upload my lot to the Gallery unless I get the file size down to 3mb.
I have a fair few photo portraits and paintings from reference around, but I don't believe it to be an unreasonable amount. My Lot size sits at 8mb if I keep everything out. But when I try to upload it to the gallery, it just hangs forever and never completes.
If I put away a bulk of the photos and paintings and get the file size down to 3mb, it uploads almost instantly. What is going on? The amount of pictures I have to put away to get the file size to 3mb is quite absurd, leaving the walls in many rooms blank.
After Testing this many times.. and having to deal with the annoying stuck spinning upload wheel that NEVER goes away, having to Force the game to End Rask in Task Manager, this is 100% related to photos taken by your Sims on the Lot. As someone who loves capturing the growing memories of my Sims in photos around their homes after many attempts to find the sweet spot, its right around 4MB that the Game will allow you to upload a given lot to the Community Gallery. I'm not sure how much past that 4MB total it could go, since we dont see a more specific total as is. I just start moving photos I want to go along into a room that gets uploaded with only them to help free up space and give people the option of downloading them to their game. You can still upload with some though until you hit that limit. So I'll usually move them into that room and only upload to my own Gallery until I see that number and then upload it to the Community. Hopefully this helps. If someone from the Sims Team is reading this, please give us some kind of color-coded Red text that alerts us the lot is over this limit so we dont have to Force Quit the entire game everytime.
