Re: [FIXED] Photographs turn black (Patch 1.58.69)

Oh, that's really sad news for me :< I have just started making proper pictures with all the poses I downloaded; spent hours choosing the right venues and angles (I was never interested in photography in the Sims 4, so it's a completely new activity for me). I really wanted to decorate rooms with photos and selfies of my sims. And now all lost 😢 I did find a way to add screenshots to the game (by using Sims4Studio), but it's not the same. A pretty discouraging experience, all in all. 

Is there any way to avoid such situations in the future? I will be devastated if I take another 300+ pictures and lose them to a similar bug. The whole trick is just not to add them to boxes? Are family inventories safe enough?

    @Liudmila-tian I really don't know what the status is currently and what's save to do. If you read thread this thread they seem to go black on all kinds of situations.

    Boxes does seem to trigger it a lot.

    What you can try is putting them all on a wall in a separate room and then save that to the library as room for safekeeping (although I'm not sure if that always works)

    Also, what I said above is my opinion from what happend in the past, it's not set in stone truth but I personally wouldn't get my hopes up that it can be fixed.

    Maybe also keep certain save points. Use save as and save them under a different name, then use save as again and use overwrite the in you're usually saving too. This way you have a 'frozen' state you can go back to although there's also no guarantees that they won't turn black once you load that save.

    For now I would go with: Don't put them in boxes at all and I I'm not sure family inventory is safe either. Best to just try. Save a couple, then reload and see if they're still there. Play on for a day or two, then check again.
