The Sims 4 gallery corrupted
Hi, I'm currently having a really hard time trying to find a piece of cc corrupting my gallery on The Sims 4. There doesn't seems to be any other major problems in the game. I've probably spent 10 ho...

@Palmeoljee I have a similar issue. When I click on anything in the Gallery it first loads with a big red cross, then tells me "File is corrupted. Would you like to remove it?" Nearly, if not all of my cc is on TSR CC Manager and nothing there seems to be out of the ordinary. None of them are script mods either, only objects and CAS items.
I have repaired, removed, checked, deleted and reinstalled but nothing has worked. I still get the same old corrupted message and it's starting to annoy the soul out of me! I've had this problem for so long that I don't even remember if it was caused by an update or patch, but I do know it's been here longer than my cc.

- @SheriGR I did, I no longer have this issue. I found out how to fix it somewhere else, but I was so angry and frustrated that I don't even remember what I did xD
Now my issue lies in Sims 4 saving to User - Public instead of User - <my name> 🙂) trying to find out how to fix it, but only one that asked about it, that I can find anyway, was back in 2012 so I highly doubt it'll help at all.@bra0ok Please see the information that @puzzlezaddict posted below. Sorry for any confusion.
Hmmm... well, I am on Mac, so still using Origin for now (though there ias a notice this will change). In is case there is a setting in Origin that shows the path where it saves to.First, before doing any experiments with this I would highly recommend making and storing a backup as follows:SpoilerGo to:Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4Copy the following folders:Saves, Tray, Mods, Screenshots, Recorded VideoPaste the folders:Paste the folders locally on your computer, on an external drive, &/or a flash drive. I recommend choosing two or all three of these locations.)Alternatively, you could just save the whole 'The Sims 4' folder.In my case, if I open Origin > Preferences > Installs & Saves, these are the paths I find:I can also confirm the path of my folder (for my game folder for saved info, etc.... in this case specifically for the 'saves' folder within it that 'The Sims 4' folder) by opening the game, chose 'Load Game', click on one of the game saves, then hover over the round button with the two overlapping rectangles (however I cannot make changes to the path there):Well, I'm on Windows so I use the EA app. However, everything you said are things that I've already tried multiple times before.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that not too long ago, I quit backing up to OneDrive so everything was wiped. I had to manually go in to the system and get control over my desktop and files, then to OneDrive web and download what I had there. Still lost quite a bit, including cc. I'm thinking that during this process, when OneDrive backed everything, including all files from C: Users - <my name> . So when I then deleted OneDrive, it took all the files, leaving Sims 4 nowhere to save but the Public folder.
I've tried finding out how to make it save where I want it to, but nothing so far has worked. If it does work, it's only for a second, or until I launch the game again, and it's back to Public. Issue here being that everything else I do on my PC is saved to my user folder, as well as everything I download. It's just too tedious to download, open file explorer, open new tab and find Public, then move them there.
TSR CC Manager can't find anything either since everything is wrong, and manually searching for Public doesn't work either.
I'm just so lost at this point that I'm honestly considering just wiping my whole PC and try again from factory new. Worst case is that I mess up even more and have to stop playing the game all together, which I really wish wasn't an option.
