Why can't I place houses and rooms from the gallery?
- 5 years ago
Does this happen every time you try to place a lot or a room in an apartment or is just with certain lots or rooms?
I have gotten a couple of lots before that just wouldn't work. They either wouldn't install or they would cause a crash. Once I had a never ending screen where I finally had to crash the game to desktop via Task Manager.
So if it's just one or two lots or rooms, you just may have been unlucky with what you downloaded. Another thing that could have happened too is your internet or Gallery could have had a hiccup during the download which can damage a downloaded file. The only way I know to find out which lots are causing problems is to try to install them in the game. If they don't work, delete them from your tray. That's what I do. If you really want one of those lots, you can always download it again and try again. It may work the second time if something happened during the first download to corrupt the download.
But if this is happening with every lot you try then your issue may not be because the lots are glitched. It could be something else.
In any case, you might want to delete your localthumbcache.package file and let the game generate a new one. And a game repair may help too.
Hope this helps.
