Gallery screenshot is blocked by trees/objects on several lots
There is an old thread about this issue from 8 years ago but since this is now an issue again, I want to report it. As the title says, when uploading a lot to the Gallery/Library the game generates the first screenshot wrong. Only showing trees instead of the house view. You don't see the lot anymore because trees are in front.

Server Error whenever I'm upload to my personal gallery
This is the text in the error message: Server error. We could not process this gallery request. Please try again later. I tried uploading the image from my phone, but I can't get my laptop to do so. Anyone else having this problem, for me it started after the new burglar update. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
Placing lots from the gallery freezes game/endless loading
Computer: PC, Windows 10 I am having issues with the game after the February 25th update where trying to use the gallery effectively doesn't work. I am connected to the internet and initially it'll work fine but when trying to use it repeatedly, such as trying out multiple uploaded lots, the gallery will become stuck on the loading screen and won't load anymore lots, and will tell me that it is having issues. I have tried updating my drivers, removing the tray file, removing all mods, and repairing the game but it still keeps happening. These attempts initially worked for a bit but eventually the gallery would freeze again. Any help would be appreciated. I also recently upgraded my computer so it is possible that it's related to that but as far as I can tell my GPU, CPU and ram is all working as intended. Again, I made sure drivers were updated as I heard that that could cause some issues.

[IL] [GTW] Mermaids/Aliens crash game
Hello, So far this has only occured with mermaids and I do not know why. Yes I use mods/CC. This issue occurs even with all mods/scripts/CC any custom content is removed. If I click create a family or just make them in cas, save them and try to move them in from my gallery the crash will happen. After that family causes that first crash to happen I can no longer go into CAS to edit them without it causing a crash. I have made sure to test this on an old & a new save, removed all CC/Mods, Repaired my game, moved my electronic arts folder to my desktop and back, double checked all my drivers and still this issue appears when creating a mermaid sim in cas. Any help would mean a lot since currently this makes my game unplayable. EDIT by crinrict: Added pack tag, removed some thread tags. Please try to pick tags that correspond to your issue. Choose EITHER: Never mods (means never), removed or mods and/or cc and not all of them.

[CD] [W] Paint Mode for pets and werewolves adds unnecessary texture to a save
I'm raising concern on this issue as it will certainly have a huge impact with the upcoming custom tattoo system, as it seems based on the Paint Mode we currently have or pets and werewolves. As you might not know, adding custom details using the Paint Mode saves those detail as an image that is store in your save file. It makes sense. But after installing a family of werewolves for which I created custom textures using this Paint Mode, I noticed my save file was a lot heavier (+12Mb added). As we know the current issue regarding save corrupting (see this topic) this is concerning. By opening the save with Sims 4 Studio, I noticed that for each texture, I had a lot of duplicates, which explains why the save file bloated up : So I tried to understand why those duplicates were created, and during my tests, I discovered two things already: If you open a Sim or a pet in CAS that has a custom coat created using the Paint Mode and go into Paint Mode to edit it, a new texture is saved. The previous texture is not deleted and still there in the save-file (where it has no use, taking unnecessary space). More concerning: opening the Gallery and simply selecting a household which members have a custom paint and displaying it (for example my previous family of werewolves) - and not even adding/replacing the household you are editing in CAS or adding them to your game - adds those texture in your save if you save after. I suppose those textures are cached somewhere in order to be able to display the Sim/the pet, but they are added to the savefile after saving for no reason. As I'm pretty sure tattoos will be based on the same system, that could potentially lead to a lot of issues regarding save files size, and I think that's an urgent issue to address.
