@crinrict They're not even screenshots though. Screenshots I could handle because I rarely take any. They're these random images of houses (thousands of them, some of which I haven't even downloaded, I've just favourited them on the gallery!) that must be temporary files because they're going into My Documents and then disappearing, but not before they've synced to OneDrive. This has never been an issue before and I've been playing and downloading houses from the gallery for years
@simlegacy94 yes, if you surf the gallery, pictures are getting downloaded to your cache folder. They shouldn't get deleted though unless you close the game.
If you browse the gallery, the images you see will get downloaded to your user folder. Don't think that was ever different.
Have you been using the game on oneDrive before ?
- @crinrict It's not OneDrive, my mistake, it's Google Drive. But yes, it's always been set up so that My Documents sync to my Google Drive. It's not new, but this is the first time I've ever had an issue with these gallery pictures getting uploaded to Google Drive. As far as I can see, I can't specify for Google Drive to not import my Sims files since they sit in My Documents. Is there any way I can move these cache files out of My Documents and into a different folder?
- @simlegacy94 Maybe something changed about google drive ? I don't know how it would work with google drive tbh. The game only ever automatically changes to oneDrive. For google drive you have to set it up yourself, I assume.
The path unfortunately can't be changed for my documents, can't you exclude certain folders ?
Is there any pattern when they get deleted with that message ? When you leave the gallery ?
