File Size too large to upload to Gallery

[LuxeDoll]

Hello! Today I tried uploading a build that has taken me a few months. However, when I tried to upload it to the gallery it said that my lot file size was too big to upload. If I am looking correctly the .BPI file says its 11.7MBs , but it also says that there is custom content in my lot. There are not any. I have used CAS CC but never for build/buy. I have deleted the mods folder, and disabled my CC and it still says in the post that there is CC. I'm not sure what the problem is but I would really love to post this @.@

Hello @LuxeDoll

The upload limit is 10MB.  Do you happen to have a lot of custom paintings and photos?  Those can take up a good chunk of file space.  

Also, if you have any CC or mods installed, and create a painting or photo by reference in game, that painting or photo will be tagged as custom content, by design.  So any room or lot that contains that painting or photo will be tagged as custom content as well.

As CC doesn't really upload that's probably not causing the lot to be too big. I do think there is a limit so try removing some stuff.

If you have pictures of Sims with CAS cc, that also counts as modded as well as actual Sims on the lot that have cc.

Do you by any chance know the upload limit? Or have an idea of what causes a lot of space so I have an idea as to what to delete? I wouldn't really know where to start.

How many floors do you have ? Do you have lots of furniture placed ? Lots of walls ?

I would guess that less furniture would help.

Thanks so much for this tip!! I used gallery art for the first time in a build and the 4mb house was virtually unplayable because of lag, but removing the paintings reduced the file to kbs! Thanks
