I'm trying to get my sim to finish her freelance job as an artist. The icons simply won't finish, and the same goes for any piece I attempt to have her make on the digitalistic sketchpad. The easel is not affected.

  • Same here.... ugh, I was excited because they said they fixed the last bug with the digital artist freelance bug (which was a problem since September), but now my sketches won't complete. I can't even tell if the last bug was fixed since I can't complete any sketches. What happens is when it gets close to the 85-90% range finished it skips to the end, the tablet appears on the ground, and the pen is stuck to my sim's hand and it follows her everywhere she goes, unless I sell the tablet (for $0) and restart the game.

  • having a problem with the sketchpad in general set up 4 or 5 painting to do and will finish the first one and puts the sketch pad down and the rest are no longer in the queue and the first one finished doesnt go into inventory

    @SaemianI noticed this playing last night. My sim kept spending 75 simoleons, the action would get to the end and she'd drop the pad on the ground (no painting/sketch resulting). It frustrated me so much, I changed freelancer trades from artist to photog. :/ And, she also paints fine on the easel. She auto-painted and it came out fine.(yes, vanilla game)

  • Exactly the same problem. I play on a Mac, and I’ve never had any mods or cc installed and have all packs except Vampires and Batuu installed.
