Sims 4 Gallery won't load in game

The community gallery in game will not load. It just keeps circling and then nothing appears. I know it is not network issue related because my sister has the same games on her laptop and is on the same network as me as we are in the same household. it is pretty annoying that i cannot access this feature. I been trying to contact an advisor with no way to reach anyone. I have the game on Xbox as well and have no issues accessing it on there. It only on the PC.

    1. Most often it is caused by your Tray folder - your library - being overloaded. If you have too many objects in your library sometimes Gallery will not load.
    Go to the Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4
    Find Tray folder inside The Sims4 folder and move it using the mouse to the desktop
    Then launch the game and check if you still can't connect to the Gallery.
    If it will be work go once more to the game folder, delete a new Tray folder created by the game. Then copy your old Tray folder and paste it in the game folder. Now you need to delete from your library as many objects as you can. First, remove Maxis's houses - you can always have them again if you want.
    2. Another reason may be blocking the connection to the Gallery antivirus program or Windows Defender, disable it, or add Origin and the game to the exceptions.

    3. The third reason may be broken files in the game folder responsible for connecting to the gallery
    In this case, you need to do a factory reset of the game folder
