Problem with NoCC Artwork downloaded from the Gallery?

I've tried to search if there is any info anywhere about this, but I couldn't find...

There seems to be a problem with NoCC Artwork: the pictures and paintings that are in the Gallery. I like them very much, they are beautiful and it's great to have more options for decorating the houses. I have downloaded a lot of them.
But just recently I noticed that when I tried to put some of those pictures/paintings to a house that I was building, all of those pictures/paintings were blank, there were nothing shown on the frames, they were just blank.
I also noticed that when I downloaded one house that was shared in the Gallery (and which was decorated with NoCC Artwork), and when I placed it on a lot and checked the rooms in the house: all of those NoCC Artwork pictures/paintings were blank.

I guess this started to happen after the latest patch, because before there hasn't been any problems with NoCC Artwork.
Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just in my game?
I don't use any CC or any mods,
my game is vanilla.

    I'm curious if I can repeat this in my game. Do you mind sharing the name of the house and/or the creator so I can download the lot? What are the names of the paintings giving you problems?
    Have you tried repairing your game?
    Deleting the localthumbnail cache?
    Do you have all the packs listed for this particular lot?
    When placing the house do you get the "some items have been removed" message?
    Someone else with more knowledge for this type of thing might be able to help more than me.
  • Same problem I had yesterday!! Seems to be only some pictures. I have all the packs. I have repaired. I have deleted cache.
    I always download beautiful artwork. I was really dissapointed. I wonder why thats happening...

    I had to go hunt some rooms down with the art work. Once I placed the room the art work disappeared in two of the rooms, and in two of them it stayed. I don't know what the difference is. I placed them in build mode with no sims on the lot.

    Thank you for your answers SikoahGrace & Babykittyjade :smile:
    This is indeed confusing. I also wonder why this is happening.

    I unfortunately don't remember the name of the house and the name of the creator, since I deleted the house from my Library.
    Many of the artwork that I have downloaded have been uploaded to the Gallery as rooms, and the problem is happening with the rooms also, as SikoahGrace noticed as well,
    thanks for checking :smile:

    I haven't tried repairing my game, and I'm thinking that I won't repair now, since this is the only problem that I have currently. It's good to think about it though, sometimes it might really be necessary to repair the game. I haven't deleted the localthumbnail cache, but it can be good to do so. I have seen it being recommended to do often, so that is a good advice too.
    That particular house that I mentioned, was a base game house, and all items were on place when I placed the lot, but the noCC Artwork pictures were blank. That was suprising: this kind of thing has never happened before.

    Update: now that I was checking again many of the pictures/paintings (which I have downloaded and saved to my Library), they showed the way as they should and everything seemed to be normal again. I didn't do anything in the meantime, so the problem seemed to be only temporary, at least for now...


  • @Aaleyn Good to hear it's working again. I tested it now and it's fine in my game.

    My guess is your cache was overloaded. :grey_question:

    Technically anything that is like that NoCC artwork is supposed to be checked as CC, however the vast majority of people don't abuse it, so it's really cool what paintings and photos people put up as "noCC" artwork. :smiley:

    Thank you Admiral8Q,
    It might have been "cache issue",
    I'll have to remember to clear that regularly as it's recommended :smile:
    Or it also might be a mystery why it was/is happening.
    It seems so far, that this problem hasn't been happening for many players,
    but few players have had the same issue.
    Lets hope that everyone will have this thing back to normal and that this wouldn't be a recurrent problem.

    Or it could be those strange plants in Strangerville... :open_mouth:
