[GALLERY] Pics blocked by trees and objects from other lots (Patch 1.120.140)

PC: 1.120.140.1020
No mods/CC
[Edited to add specific lots]
[Addition: 1-27-2025]
[Addition: 1-20-2025]

Apparently this was supposed to have been fixed in the January patch, 

[EA Forums] We fixed all reports of the camera being obstructed by trees in Gallery preview views of lots.

I'm still experiencing the issue in every world. Screenshot is from an apparently wide open lot (relative to world objects).

Sulani - Sapphire Shores, Chieftain's Villa, Caldera Camp, Kin-Ship
Tartosa - Baia Dell'Amore
Evergreen Harbor - Pigulock Manor (slight obstruction by wind turbine)
Magnolia Promenade - The Roadstead
Nordhaven - Lighthouse Lookout (slight obstruction by flagpole)
Chestnut Ridge - Big Sky Ranch
Glimmerbrook - Rock Ridge Canyon (Charms' house)
Mt Komorebi  - 2-4-2 Wakabamori (slight obstruction by tree - would be an "issue" with a multi-story structure), Sutefani Onsen Bathhouse - (trees to left, only an issue with different structure)

Added: 
Willow Creek - Garden Essence - blocked by interior of house across the street (chimney, several interior objects like stairs, partial floors). 
Newcrest - Midtown Meadows - view COMPLETELY blocked by world building
Windenberg - The Summer Home - completely blocked by trees
Brindleton Bay - Tail's End - completely blocked by boulder; Brindleton Pawspital - completely blocked by trees
Henford-on-Bagley - 14 Nettle Lane - completely blocked by trees
Moonwood - The Collective Cabin - obscured by trees
Copperdale - Trotter Park - completely blocked by trees
Tomarang - Ro Kaya Rockside - completely blocked by buildings (Note: When For Rent was released I built a residential rental on this lot and it was not blocked by the buildings.)
Innisgreen - The Watering Hole - blocked by trees

San Myshuno - The Old Salt House - blocked by trees from the community square
Del Sol Valley - Pectoral Fitness - blocked by palm trees


I will update if I find more.

    The patch notes state that they fixed the lots that were reported so please make a list of all lots you still have issues with.

    Please edit the first post for that.

    Thanks.

    Trees are still blocking my builds when I save them or upload them to the galley. Jungles adventure and other worlds.

    I want to add:

    Windenburg - Harbor Quarter: blocked by the wall on the opposite side of the street - depending on the building height, completely or partially

    Windenburg - Quad Manor: blocked by building items from the opposite building

    Windenburg - South Square Coffee: blocked by building items from the opposite building & surrounding deco buildings

    Pictures, explanations, and my speculations can be found in the German forum: EA Forum 13099923 - if absolutely necessary, I can repost everything in English😉

    All my tests were conducted AFTER the latest patch using a mod-free game.

    So, every time I save one of my builds, or one that I have downloaded from the gallery. I seem to get items from other lots showing in my picture. it usually happens when there is a lamp post, a clock or boulder or large flowers on the adjacent lot. when saving to my library you can see these items in front of my picture taken of my build. I remember the time this wasn't a thing. but now every picture that I have, that has a building directly across from it will add items.   It's bad enough that we can't choose our own picture, now I can't see the full view of my creations. I am sharing pictures below. does anyone have a way to fix this? Please and Thank you.
