File Size too large to upload to Gallery

Hello! Today I tried uploading a build that has taken me a few months. However, when I tried to upload it to the gallery it said that my lot file size was too big to upload. If I am looking correctly...

    Hello @LuxeDoll

    The upload limit is 10MB.  Do you happen to have a lot of custom paintings and photos?  Those can take up a good chunk of file space.  

    Also, if you have any CC or mods installed, and create a painting or photo by reference in game, that painting or photo will be tagged as custom content, by design.  So any room or lot that contains that painting or photo will be tagged as custom content as well.

Do you by any chance know the upload limit? Or have an idea of what causes a lot of space so I have an idea as to what to delete? I wouldn't really know where to start.

    Thanks so much for this tip!! I used gallery art for the first time in a build and the 4mb house was virtually unplayable because of lag, but removing the paintings reduced the file to kbs! Thanks ❤️
