Some workarounds about missing thumbnails for Brazilian users
A few weeks ago, I sent an ask to the lovely @letomills about an issue where Brazilian simmers canβt see the images properly on the Sims 2 default database. After some testing, I found a few workarounds for this problem. But fair warning: itβs pretty annoying π
As I mentioned to Leto, a hard reload usually works (Ctrl + Shift + F5). But not always. I also opened a support ticket with Dreamwidth, but unfortunately, they never replied. There are a few technical reasons behind this issue, but thatβs a discussion for another time π
When you open a page from the database, youβll probably see something like this (broken or missing thumbnails).
First, try a hard reload (Ctrl + Shift + F5).
If the hard reload doesnβt work, try this:
Press F12 to open the Developer Tools.
Go to the Network tab (or βRedeβ, if your Chrome is in Portuguese π).
You should see a list of .png files.
If you donβt see any, just press F5 to reload the page.
Click on any of the PNG files. It really doesnβt matter which one.
right-click it and choose βOpen in new tabβ.
This will open a small thumbnail image. You donβt even need to stay on that page β just go back and reload the original page.
β¨ After that, the thumbnails should appear correctly. β¨
Note: You may need to do this every time you open the page. Thatβs why I said it can be pretty annoying, hehe π
If you have any question, just pop me a DM.
