Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.88.228.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Island Living, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Tiny Living, Vintage Glamour, Backyard
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Trend Setter Career. Daily task of gathering impression (i think that was it), then click on Sketchpad and I think the option was quick impression or quick sketch?
What happens when the bug occurs? sim took out sketchpad and appeared to start sketching, but then animation stopped and it didn't give me a sketch in invo or tick off my daily task, tried again. Then the sketchpad ended up on the floor. Now the only option is paint from reference but even that doesn't work. you snap the photo and nothing happens after.
What do you expect to see? I expected my sim to spend a certain amount of time sketching on the pad and then I would have a painting in inventory.
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? No

‌

I see from the forum and reddit that this was a known bug that was supposedly fixed like three years ago.  I couldn't find any current information so decided to post here.

      @DianaaPrince thanks. For the moment you probably can't do much more than buy a new sketch pad.
