Please use this thread going forward: [DU] Figure drawing masterpiece did not count toward Painter Aspiration | EA Forums - 12183088
I am experiencing this same issue. I instructed my sim to do two figure paintings, both were masterpieces, and neither counted toward the aspiration (Painter Extraordinaire) OR a whim my sim had to "paint a masterpiece."
It seems this is still an issue, my university art student is now having the same problem. Painted 2 figure painting masterpieces, back to back, neither one counted toward the 5 masterpieces milestone. The 5 that was counted was 1 Abstract, 1 Pop Art, 1 Classic, 1 Surrealism and 1 Landscape.
Also having this problem, seems to be that any paintings without a size option do not fulfill the aspiration, even though the Masterpiece notification is displayed.
I have done the Painting Aspiration many times, this is the first time I noticed that figure paintings don't count towards the Excellent or Masterpiece requirements.
I have tried having my Sim stop when she started herself, then finish on my command and it still didn't apply. Masterpieces are hard enough to get it's annoying when the first one she does after getting to this point of the aspiration doesn't count. I haven't found any others that don't work. only Figure Paintings from Discover University.
