Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (1.102.190/1.82)
My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit migrated bug report: [ARCHIVED] Photos/Paintings turning black (1.102.190/1.82) | EA Forums - 11628056 Archived thread had around 37 me toos EDIT by crinrict The photos get removed from your save game with this bug. There is NO way to recover them other than loading a backup. Even if Maxis fixes the bug that they disappear you will not have them back as the information is just not there anymore. Instructions on how to recover a backup can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/ Instructions how to fix your photos if the screenshot still existing (not for console) https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ Make sure your photos are safe If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those After you took pictures you really care about, save your game. To me it looks like that the pictures aren't properly saved to your game if you click save & Exit. Click save first, then exit without saving.
Gallery showing no results
Starting yesterday the results Ive gotten looking for items on the gallery have been less than expected. Its only providing any options for the "newest" option. when clicking popular now or most popular there are no results. For example I am searching for a household that only has one sim in it that is a cat(this also is the same for dogs). What I expect are hundreds of results for any of the newest, popular now and most popular results. What I get instead are as follows: Newest: Most popular: Popular now: What's odd is if I search with the same filters and a hashtag or item name I then get MORE and the expected results instead of less which is confusing to me considering Ive only added delimiters here. Its also taking several minutes to load any option or selection I make, when I try to scroll down and any other thing that would need the gallery to connect to the database its data is in. This is causing me to think that there might be some kind of timeout or loading issue occurring with the cloud service that contains gallery data. I've never not gotten some kind of result for what I would consider a very generic search I have done many times before. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
