Is the message appearing on one item or on all the items in your library section of the gallery?

It wasn't running so I tried repairing the game twice. On the second try it installed the Hotfix and I got into the game! So happy and relieved. Thank you for your kind help. *runs off to play with big smiles*
I am glad that the update is now installed Happy simming!

Hello @rose
I am so sorry but your computer doesn’t meet the recommended requirements to run the game and game packs
As I posted in the earlier post you have a weaker processor than is required. You also have an integrated processor video card. It is using the same computer ram along with the game , origin, windows and other programs that you have on your computer. These things are causing the lagging issues.
I am so sorry
With each patch and each pack, it puts extra strain on the computer to run the game.
As I posted in the earlier post, there are some things that you can do that may help. Try playing in laptop mode, and in windowed mode. Try lowering the ingame screen resolution in game options.
Close all other open windows in the desktop when playing the game and see if that helps.
Go to the Dell website, search for your computer model and see if there are updated drivers to,download.
Doing these things may help you to play the game.
You could also try disabling some packs and see if that helps.

> Hello all. I have searched the threads and I hope I am not overlooking anything. I am trying to get assistance with a "could not locate this item" problem in my Sims 4 Gallery. Just an fyi I am not computer smart. I know the basics of using a computer.
I'm having the same problem!! I started a new game and was filling in the lots, but a lot of my favorite lots (and households, etc.) have a red X and say "could not locate this item." Even if I find them separately in the gallery, there's no way for me to unsave them and resave them. If I try to place them, it crashes my game. I miss my Newcrest library help lol
Hello @gjessicax
Your Documents-Electronic Arts -Sims 4 -tray folder holds the files of the builds and households that you have saved to your library.
Each sims household contains 5 files and an extra file for each extra sim. ( 1x .householdbinary, 1x trayitem, 2x .sgi, 1x .hhi and an extra sgi file for each extra sim)
A Lot consists of 6-11 files, depending on how many floors your Lot has (1 trayitem file, 1blueprint file and 4 bpi files, and an extra bpi files for each extra floor).
The items that have the issues, may be missing files.
Try to find the files that relate to the builds and households that have the issue, and remove them from the tray folder. You can sort the tray folder by date /time and that can help you to find the files.There would be a date on the items in your libary also.
You can then download again new copies of the creations that had the issues.

I was super excited to start playing Seasons, and specifically play with the new gardening features. I've spent hours and hours trying, but I CANNOT get my plants to level up! The highest I've gotten is 1.5 bars, and half of the plants keep getting worse instead of better. I'm watering/weeding/fertilizing/etc immediately when the options become available. Is anyone else encountering this?
Thank you!
Hello @CookieMonster68

Hello @Loner_SimA
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.
If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair
Try removing the localthumbcache.package file from the Sims 4 folder and see if that helps
Make sure that your graphics drivers are uptodate.

Hello @Loner_SimA
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your whole 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.
If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair
