I went through every single lot in The Sims 4 and found out the best lighting for gallery thumbnails for each lot and which lots have the possibility of world objects blocking the view on the gallery! Then I made maps to show my findings! All worlds except Strangerville (which I don't have yet) have been done. I hope you guys find this helpful!https://i.imgur.com/fp5QEWh.pngWillow Creekhttps://i.imgur.com/Cr4MxeJ.pngOasis Springshttps://i.imgur.com/in90F9p.pngNewcresthttps://i.imgur.com/LyIIV9C.pngMagnolia Promenadehttps://i.imgur.com/2htxziJ.pngWindenburghttps://i.imgur.com/ZNdAKHu.pngSan Myshunohttps://i.imgur.com/ZHrvHM4.pngForgotten Hollowhttps://i.imgur.com/UtGlro8.pngBrindleton Bayhttps://i.imgur.com/gkjnZNI.pngDel Sol Valleyhttps://i.imgur.com/bz3qEiv.pngGranite Fallshttps://i.imgur.com/G51UfWt.pngSelvadorada

This is great!! I am all about lighting when it comes to my pictures so I will definitely be checking these lots out :)

This is awesome! thank you <3 Lighting can really change how a build looks, this will be very helpful :) Also wished many times that we could make our own choices of pictures for the gallery :/

Objects blocking view - the bane of my life!

This is terrific! Thank you for doing this. It's often difficult to tell what lot someone used when it is particularly suitable to the build and this is one step in helping choosing the perfect lot :smiley:

What does it mean if a lot on your map has no square at all?

No square at all means that there is no ideal lighting on that lot, and that there are no objects in the world that will appear in the gallery thumbnail.

That is so funny because I'm in the middle of making the same maps. But it's nice to not have to finish it, so thank you

I too think the lighting on the Gallery thumbnail pictures are terrible. Thank you. now if people will only use these maps.

I have to point out that on the Newcrest map there is an area where an object does get in the way...the just yellow 40x30 lot always has the across the street street lamp’s hanging plant photo-bombing the main gallery pic. Also in Brindleton Bay, the other just yellow 40x30 lot in the corner next that Calico club, it seems to have trees in the way of view as well.
