@crinrict Hi,
I have been having serious problems with the Sims 4 Gallery. When I open it all the thumbnails have a red X and when I click on them they all always say "Could not locate this item". I can still access things I've already downloaded but cannot use the online Gallery at all. I have tried numerous things including;
- repairing the game
-removing all mods and CC
- moving the Sims 4 folder and opening the game to create a new one
- deleting and reinstalling the entire game
- deleting cache files and crash reports
- deleting all unnecessary files such as screenshots
- rebooting my computer
- restoring my computer to before the update
I am convinced it's an issue with my files... I know it's not caused by a mod because the very first thing I tried to resolve the issue was take out all mods and CC and have kept them out when trying all the other methods. I even tried removing tray files and saves to see if one of those was the issue but nothing has worked so far.
Side note: when I restored my system to before the October 6th update the gallery worked but then I updated and reinstalled the game and that broke it so I'm confident it was caused by the update. I hope someone can help because the Gallery is one of my favorite parts in this game!!

- crinrict5 years agoHero+@ihave7dads Did you check if your antivirus/Firewall isn't blocking the connection ? What are you using ?

@ihave7dads Can you save screenshots properly or do those also not work ?
I also merged your post over to the current thread on this.
@Kennapie_22 Did you try all the suggestions in this thread ?
Usually it's an antivirus program blocking. What are you using ?@corndolphins Are you using Avast or AVG ? They are probably blocking the user folder. See suggestions in this thread.
