Gallery is Broken - Slow, Not Loading Content
The gallery has been unusable for several days. It is beyond slow, struggling to load user icons and failing to load 95% of download previews. The majority of content is shown as a red "X". Whatever previews do manage to load, I can't actually download - I get an error message telling me the items could not be located.
I have followed every troubleshooting guide I could find. Here's what I've tried so far:
- Updated all of my mods.
- Removed the UI Cheats Extension mod, as it is known to cause issues.
- Moved my mods folder to the desktop and cleared my caches.
- Repaired the game.
- Disabled Origin In-game.
- Renamed the Sims 4 folder to "Sims 4 Old" and loaded a fresh folder.
- Backed up the "Old" folder and then Uninstalled / Reinstalled Sims 4.
- Repaired the game again.
- Cleared caches for Origin.
- Repaired the game again.
I should note that I had a few other problems that I managed to fix throughout my troubleshooting. The known Reshade camera spinning. A black plumbob glitch that didn't resolve until I reinstalled the game. Not being able to click on anything in live mode, having to swap to build mode to save, and having options completely disappear from the screen when switching back to live mode. I assume the latter was caused by UI Cheats. (I hope so anyway!)
I'm at a loss. I know it's not an internet problem because I have 100 Mbps down, which should be plenty. My only theory is that it might be connected to the newest Windows 10 update. The latest Sims 4 update was released around the same time I was prompted to update Windows 10, which is also when my problems started occurring.
