Red X on All Online Gallery Content
I've been playing Sims 4 on Windows 10, but had to get my computer repaired, which involved resetting my computer. I had backed up my files and everything to re-download Sims 4 again. I was placing back my old files and saves then checked to see that they were in the game, and it was fine. However, when I exited the game and tried to play it once more, a popup showed up from, I think, User Account Control Settings asking if the sims game could access one of its own files. By accident, I clicked no, not knowing that it was asking for access to its own files. Then I tried playing the sims again and when I checked the Sims Gallery, all online content had its thumbnail replaced with a red x and when clicking the content, a popup appeared saying "file not found".
I've tried almost everything from checking firewalls to removing and re-downloading Sims 4. I do use custom content, but I also tried taking out and checking if it did anything, which it didn't. I am wondering if there is any way to undo the action of User Account Control not allowing the game's access to its files.
