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 can’t see the images properly on the Sims 2 default database. After some testing, I found a few workarounds for this problem. But fair warning: it’s pretty annoying 😅
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 that’s a discussion for another time 😉
When you open a page from the database, you’ll probably see something like this (broken or missing thumbnails).
First, try a hard reload (Ctrl + Shift + F5).
If the hard reload doesn’t work, try this:
Press F12 to open the Developer Tools.
Go to the Network tab (or “Rede”, if your Chrome is in Portuguese 😄).
You should see a list of .png files.
If you don’t see any, just press F5 to reload the page.
Click on any of the PNG files. It really doesn’t matter which one.
right-click it and choose “Open in new tab”.
This will open a small thumbnail image. You don’t even need to stay on that page — just go back and reload the original page.
✨ After that, the thumbnails should appear correctly. ✨
Note: You may need to do this every time you open the page. That’s why I said it can be pretty annoying, hehe 😅
If you have any question, just pop me a DM.
