https://i.imgur.com/F0QxCwe.pngThose aren't my trees. Can y'all please please let us change the pictures or make sure when you (the great folks that create the lot arrangement/placement) do a test save on each lot before calling it good so that we don't get pictures of trees or other buildings (not our own) blocking our first picture?https://i.imgur.com/wdv4B0i.pngAlso, on those 64 lots, its zoomed out a little too far don't you think? Maybe?https://i.imgur.com/TyRJOS8.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/hc8EVPX.pngWhat is holding the creators back from allowing us to change the pictures on our builds? Maybe give us some predefined angles in cameraman mode (copied to build mode) to choose from? Can you honestly tell us that anyone could get a sense of what the build is when the save pictures it chooses are either blocked or zoomed out so far you have no idea what is on the lot?I don't think I complain often, but this from day one, has and is really, really irritating - especially when CAS can use custom pictures without the emblem of custom content. I get that I can upload two versions, one using custom pics (and designated as CC when its not) and one without but that would be silly to clog up the database/gallery with two versions of every build. Wouldnt it?I beg, I plead, please with sugar on top - give us some options on the build photo gallery.

I think it would help if we just got the 'randomized' button that we have for putting Sims on the gallery, where you can choose different poses or whatever. Only for builds it would be different angles, or sides of the lot, for example. Even if it's just for the main picture, that would help tremendously.

I was hoping we could get to pick from several angles for lots like we can do for rooms. With the rooms you have a choice of four angles and can pick which one shows the room the best. With lots, no choice. I've actually moved a lot build to another lot so I could bet a better pic that showed more of work I did in the back yard. Wish I could have left it on the original lot and just changed the angle of the pic.

I agree totally. Would it be possible for only the uploaded lot trees at the back of the picture to show in the photos?

The big lots are pretty frustrating too, since they are zoomed out so far you have no idea even whats on the lot. I have more than one build like this - put tons of work into them (they are large after all) only for the pics to not show any of the work by being zoomed out too far.

That first build in Brindleton...hahahah the environment/world trees are blocking the very first pic. :D

Totally frustrated by camera angles in build mode. I build, don't play other than testing (when I remember). I have put up with weird angles and zoom so far out you can't see any detail or discern which room might be which, but today is the straw that broke the camel's back. I orientated a build on a lot to what seemed obvious to me was the front of the lot and the camera lot shots are from the side and rear. I also orientate for view and that isn't always compatible for camera angles so any features added for 'street' appeal are lost. PLEASE, PLEASE, allow us some autonomy! I don't want the view of my lot governed by random or oblique preset camera angles, and yes, block the trees/rocks that aren't even part of the build lot. I love the creative outlet SIMS provides and the joy that it brings me, but it is being ruined by camera angles.

I mean if you can change the gallery pics with sims 4 studio I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard for EA to add that tool to the game too, but I guess they are too busy or something (yeah, salty much)

I completely agree! I'm trying to upload a house I just built, but no matter what lot i try it takes a picture of the side and the back of the house. It is so frustrating!
