Still paintings don't work in Sims 2 Legacy

When I want a Sim to paint another Sim / a portrait as a still life on canvas with the easel it doesn't work anymore. It worked fine with the ultimate collection and with the CD-ROMs. 

The frame for the still life is around the scene I want to be painted, but when the Sims paints, it's not the whole thing I selected, it's just a small part of it. You can see it in the screenshot. 

I always thought it was very nice, that my sims had big paintings of their family, wedding, kids, becoming a vampire etc.  in their house, depending on their lifestyle.
Does anybody else have that problem? For me it was a very important feature and I really hope it gets fixed.
