Gallery Upload Freezing and loading time?

ashcrash19

Hi, is anyone else having issues where you go to upload a sim or lot to the gallery and sometimes it's uploading with the flower symbol but freezes?

This only started happening after installing seasons. I took out my mods and can confirm this still happens. I also have noticed there's slightly longer loading time--almost like a small lag.

Hello
There were simmers on another thread who posted that they also have been having issues uploading creations since the release of Seasons.

Which thread was this, if you don't mind?

I am not sure if the issue is due to server issues, or if more simmers are acessing the Gallery due to the release of Seasons.

Hello @Helpp
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there. If it has helped with the issues, put your mods/ CC back into the newly generated mods folder that is in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing after each one to see which is the causes of the problem.

This is an issue for me as well! The Gallery is backed up like crazy...

So, it seems to be trial and error. You essentially cross your fingers that it uploads fast...if not within a few seconds then it's stuck.

Are there any solutions other than restarting the game? Like an idiot I uploaded to the gallery before saving. I would hate to lose everything. Is there a way to just stop the uploading process? HELP!

Hello
Try seeing if you can press the windows key, which will take you to the desktop. Then go back to the game, and the uploading process may have stopped.

I have duel monitors so I can't minimize the game unfortunately. Though i did try bringing something else to the forground and no luck.

I also tried switching to a new desktop and no luck

Finally decided to close it (right click on the game and say close program) and it gave me an option to save. It worked and I didn't lose anything! Thank goodness! Just an update and sort of a fix for others!

That is great! I am glad that you didn’t lose anything.

Me too! Thanks for the advice!

Yep! Happened to me too. Had to force quit after trying to upload a lot to the gallery.

Hello
Just to make sure that any cc/mods that you may have aren’t also causing issues, try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the Gallery freezing issues.

OK, so the file or 'mod' that was causing the issue was the "UI Cheats Extension". The modder has updated his mod and fixed the issue which is nice. Just wanted to say this just in case some one else had the same mod affecting them as I did. I don't want other people to search through 3,000 files like I did. :#

It is good that you have found the cause of your issues.
