There is nothing in my Tray File, is that normal or is something supposed to be there?
Hello @Error_403
Once you have saved a sim or a build to your library, or have downloaded a household or build from the community section into your library, there will be files in your Tray folder.
@rosemow i have played Sims 4 for about a year and then everything without warning disappeared yesterday. Any idea of why this happened or what could have caused this?

Hello
I am sorry that you have this issue. Do you still have your save game files in your saves folder?
i was wondering if i wanted to upload a home lot onto the sims resource, how do i know what house is which under the tray folder since it doesn't tell me specifically what house matches the item info in my tray folder.

Hello @candie_andie4
If you look at the date that you uploaded the house into your library, then look at the date of the tray folder files it can help you to work out which files are connected with which home.
The Tray Importer tool is very helpful. When you click on the home in this tool, you can get the set of files that way. http://luniversims.com/files/file/73-sims-4-tray-importer/
yeah it doesn't really explain how to download the tray importer too very well.
Hello
To download the tool, click the black download button on the page that I linked to.
This explains how to install it
Open the S4TI_inst.zip or S4TI_unified_inst.zip archive, then double-click on S4TIXP_inst.exe or S4TI_unified_inst.exe to launch the installation.
or
Extract all files from the S4TI_inst.zip or S4TI_unified_inst.zip archive to a new folder, open the newly created folder, then double-click on the S4TIXP_inst.exe or S4TI_unified_inst.exe file to launch installation.
Note : Filenames could be different if you downloaded the version designed for Windows XP.
If you receive a warning message about unrecognized app, just click "Yes" or "More infos" to continue and begin the installation.
@rosemow Okay, so now the sims resource wants me to upload the house when i wanted to use the tray importer tool thing to upload it. Do i have to "extract" or "copy" the house from the tray importer, and save it separately somewhere outside the tray folder then upload it?

When using Tray Importer,click on the house on the left hand side of the tool screen, then press the files label on the right hand side, and there will be an option to export the files, which you can save somewhere on your computer. Then upload those files to The Sims Resource.
omg please help mee I lost my libary.. I bought a new laptop to play the sims and it is good and ...well I tried exporting sims 4 in to my one dirve so I can use it in my new computer but ... all my townies I did creat and edit are gone also households are not showing anylonger in my libery. I mean the ingame libery not the libery where ppl can download. I have all files saved I thought. I see my sims that are in world in the lots that they are iving and such but not in my libery as households. Omg also when I went back to my old laptop even there it is gone.. I did nothing other than move the file to my destop to then copy and past it to other files and move it than to my one drive. Can someone please help me? I am devastated :( :'(
If you could help me out as well I would be so thankful ..of course I did move the sims 4 folder back to where I found it but still everything seems to have been gone. I do not understand why. Do I have to delete something form the Tray folder?
Maybe I got something wrong but what I mean is... my household in the household folder and my edit townies are gone (sorry english isn't my first language) . Is there a way to get it back?

Hello @Kee
Move the Documents -electronic arts -sims 4 -Tray and Save folders on your new computer to another part of your computer. Then copy the tray and saves folders that were on your old computer and paste them in the Documents -electronic arts -sims 4 on your new computer.
Then load the game and your creations should be in your library and the households in your game.
So I have a question. I’m trying to upload my screenshots onto tsr and it tells me to have in 4:3 ratio but when I edit it either in paint mode or edit with photos on my computer after I’ve resaved it, it says it won’t be accepted image because of size and it shows the pixels and size and it seems to be right in the standard pixel size that want and it’s in 4:3 which they say it has to be. Ps: I had to use edit photo instead of paint to resave it as a jpeg because the file was different. What am I doing wrong?

Hello
It may be best to post your question on the Sims Resource forums. Simmers there may be able to help you with your screenshots for your uploads, and what is required for uploading to the site.
I did put the saved files from my old laptop into my new ones but it does not work. Something is wrong. I can not even creat a new sim. It won't let me. It will keep on showing the loading screen. Also what I noticed... if I check my saved sims that happen to be placed in the lots or lofts idk how its called and mark them with a heart to see them in the libery of households... it dissapears after I click out and it will show me that it is empty. So maybe something else is wrong?

If there are no builds in your library, there wouldn't be any bpi files.

That is right. You will need to take your own screenshots from the game.
