How much time should I give my game when I place a house from the gallery?

My game has get stuck on the loading screen when I try and place a lot from the gallery. It is a rather big build I think but how much time should I give the game before I shut down the game with Ctrl+Alt+Delete? I attach a sreen shot of the loading screen.

  • @LirraFlirra  The time it takes to place a given build is dependent on the complexity of the build as well as the speed of your computer, so it's impossible to give you an exact number.  But I would say that if you've waited twice as long as is typical for a build of that overall size, or 30 seconds if the typical time is very short, then the game is probably frozen.  It's a known issue with certain Gallery builds:

    Going forward, if you want to use a given build, I'd suggest testing it in a new save first.  If it doesn't work there, no harm done.  If it does, then you can place it in your main save.
