Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%) What is your current game version number? 1.76.81.1020 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Sims 4: Base Game, Get to Work EP, City Living EP, Get Together EP, Seasons EP, Get Famous EP, Island Living EP, Discover University EP, Eco Lifestyle Expansion, Dream Home Decorator GP, Star Wars Journey to Batuu GP, Realm of Magic GP, Parenthood GP, Vampires GP, Dine out GP, Outdoor Retreat GP, Paranormal SP, Nifty Kntting SP, Laundry Day SP, Toddler SP, Kids Room SP, Romantic Garden SP, Holiday Celebration FS, Grim's Ghoulish Guitar FS Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unknown but I have provided an effected save file for you to examine, which contains a single vampire family, Plunk Drox, who possesses such a Digitalistic Sketchpad. What happens when the bug occurs? After doing a "Quick Impression Sketch" sometimes the Sketchpad will lose other art types than "Paint by Reference" and other interactions except very basic ones. What do you expect to see? A "More" Menu, with additional art types - this Sim knows enough about painting to create several different types of art. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
@LeissaMyst Did the reset after the LE ? That usually borks the sketchpad so it's more about the LE occurring. The missing interaction would be more of a symptom.
Thanks for all the info but the save you provided already has the issue happening, If possible could you please provide the save before just before the issue is triggered?
@SimGuruRitzy I'm afraid I don't have that data. I only discovered this bug in causal play so I wasn't out looking for bugs, the good news is: It only seemed to effect that one particular item, so I was able to sell it and rebuy another sketch pad to make it work.
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC Which language are you playing the game in?English How often does the bug occur?Often (50% - 99%) What is your current game version number?1.79.93.1030 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?Seasons Expansion, Cats & Dogs Expansion, Realm of Magic Game Pack, Paranormal Stuff Pack, Holiday Celebration Pack, Industrial Loft Kit, & Country Kitchen Kit. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?Use the Digitalistic Sketchpad roughly 2-8 times for any type of drawing (with the same Sim). This was happening before I got any packs or DLC, and I am unsure if the patch broke it because I just got the game last month. What happens when the bug occurs?NOTE: When first using the sketchpad a few times it works normally, but I have noticed that if the Sim draws different things (an Illustrative Painting and a Painting from Reference for example), they will stack together as if they are both whatever was drawn first (i.e. inventory will show "Illustrative Painting x2" instead of two different items). MAIN ISSUE: After a few uses, the sketchpad seems to completely break. Interaction options are strangely limited to just "Paint from Reference...", "Edit Rejected Content [not selectable]", "High-Performance Upgrade [not selectable]", and "Put In Inventory". If I choose "Paint from Reference" the $100 will be taken from my bank, the camera will pop up and let me take a photo, but then she just puts the sketchpad down and the action cancels (money doesn't return). "Put In Inventory" works just fine. (This occurs both in the inventory and placed in world.) What do you expect to see?NOTE: When normally using the sketchpad, I expect different paintings to show up in different stacks. I've started exploiting this for extra funds since I keep having to spend them on new sketchpads (I make one really expensive painting, then make a bunch of cheap paintings that will stack with the more expensive painting and sell for much higher than they would have been worth otherwise). MAIN ISSUE: When I select the sketchpad in the inventory or placed in world, I should see many options depending on the artist's level, normal options like "place in inventory" or "upgrade", and all of the options should work properly (clicking "Paint from Reference" causes the Sim to paint from reference). Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?Never used. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?Neutral/Not Sure

I apologize deeply for the terrible screenshot, I got overwhelmed trying to paste each one.
Side note: I have found that purchasing a new sketchpad sort of fixes the issue. Sort of. The new one will work just fine, but the previous one remains broken... very strange.
Another note: I did some digging on this issue and apparently it's not really a new issue at all. Some posts from mods say that the issue is fixed, but like I said before I pretty much just bought the game, and it is very much not fixed.
Hi @crinrict , I'm not sure what you mean by exception, but it isn't quite the same issue as the one you mentioned. Theirs seems related to the Sketch Impression, mine has absolutely nothing to do with a Sketch Impression because I don't think I've clicked it once in my entire playthrough. Been mostly sticking to Illustrative Painting and the freelancer options before it breaks.
@GamerBreadsticc The other thread has a LastException posted (error). Can you please check if you have the same in your documents folder ? It's a file called LastException and you can look at it with a text editor. If it's the same, it's the same error although it occurs for you for everything.
Best to delete all files you have now, trigger the error and then check if the game creates a new file.

I'm very lost, I have no idea what I'm looking at, hopefully you can help @crinrict
Thank you for making the effort, and sorry for the slow reply!!
@crinrict It seems to only happen to my freelancer. Other sims don't use it, but the few times they have it hasn't had any issues.
