Problems with Sims in my library not fully loading due to having old WW preferences, happening since Lovestruck update.

I'm not entirely sure this is related to WW or another mod so bear with me.

Since the update, I've been having problems with households in both my library and manage households taking forever to load up everytime I go in there to view them, if I want to add one of them into a save game from my library they are just taking forever to load up, it's not a major problem but I noticed its happening with all the households who had the old WW preferences applied to them, the attractiveness preferences for example, they do seem to load up fine in CAS and in live mode eventually without the preferences but it seems the game is having trouble loading them up in the gallery in my library to start with.

I also noticed that in the top picture that shows the whole household sims are missing cc clothing and hair and have totally black skin like missing skin details but in the individual pictures everything is there, they look fine.

Newly created households are viewable straight away but everything created before the Lovestruck update just take ages to load in, I've done all the usual fixes, delete the localthumbcache and repaired the game through Steam, but it's still happening.

I have alot of households so am I going to have to recreate them all and delete the old ones to stop this from happening? Not sure I want to waste my time doing that.

Is anyone else having this issue at the moment?

It's not so much Wicked Whims as it is the patches and new game version. Lovestruck did a number on CAS with the addition of attraction. Wicked Whims attraction system has been disabled for now because it does conflict with the game's system. CC skins, CC lashes, CC glasses, etc... lots of things that don't normally cause a problem are doing just that with this update. You are not alone. The gallery is also an EA issue, not mod-related, so I'd leave your saves alone and just start a new game for now. EA is STILL trying to patch stuff.

Yeah it's seemed to have settled down now, everything is loading quicker and the pictures are loading normally now with everything looking normal, just one of those things with patches that we have to put up with. I did do a few restarts and deleting the localthumbcache several times seems to have refreshed it and got it working normally now.
