I'm having the same issue. 🙃
I think I might’ve found the issue! When you go to Game Options and then Graphics, there should be a "DirectX 9" checkbox. Make sure to check it (as in turn it on) and then restart your game. Loading times are much shorter for me and my laptop struggles way less like this. I’m hoping it’ll stay this way.
I saw some people talk about this on a Facebook post that I can’t find anymore :/
One of them basically said that the DirectX 11 was causing the whole gallery error for them, so I figured I’ll try switching to DirectX 9 as well. Hope it helps!! :>

Mil0saur, you are a lifesaver! I've been having this issue since early August and been getting really desperate! Switching to DirectX 9 solved the issue for me!

Unfortunately, those playing on consoles don't have a graphics options so we can't do this one 😔

Yep, this is the fix! It works with modded stuff too. I thought I couldn’t save my CC builds because the mods were too big or something, but when I switched to DirectX 9, it saved in seconds. No shade to DirectX 11, but I think it might have an issue…

This worked for me, thank you so much! I spent months wondering what why I couldn't save my favorite lot but now I finally can.
