No thumbnail after duping car?

[Iropan]

I backed up my save, sent a car to someone, then reloaded the save to get the car back. It worked, but now in the garage the car shows up with a blank thumbnail image on the car list. Is this normal? Does it have a fix?

In the garage, hit triangle on the car in question and select 'restore thumbnail'.

Nailed it 👍 (the literal text of it is "create thumbnail").

Thx a million NLX! One year playing the game and i never knew you could press triangle there

I got that problem twice. Never knew that I could do that!

Hahaha thanks! I had the same problem and it's always drove me crazy. Never new about that!

Make sure you back up the save again after you generate the new thumbnail, or else it will be gone again when you reload.

Thats good to know! I found if you paint the car the thumbnail comes back. Thats going to save me time and credits.

Side note: If you ever need to reinstall the game you will need create thumbnails for all your cars. There should be an option to do them all at once instead of one at a time. If you have a ton of cars this takes a long time. I think it took about 45min. or so to rebuild the thumbnails since I had about 600 cars.
