Sims’ Thumbnails not retained across game sessions, causing delays across menus.

[Tested on a fresh The Sims 4 folder, new save, no mods installed]

Basically, Sims’ thumbnails are not retained across game sessions in The Sims 4. Every time I start a new game session, all thumbnails must reload. This is extremely frustrating because I often have to wait for them to appear just to know where to click, creating delays and disrupting gameplay.

Whether it’s the family portrait when hovering over a household, framed photos when selecting a lot, portraits in the live mode panel, or thumbnails in clothing change menus — the game reloads every single one at the start of each session. This results in a poor and frustrating player experience.

Sorry, crinrict​ , I’m not sure which tag to use for the base game. Would it be BG?
