Some weeks ago this happened all the time to me, but it looks fixed since the Seasons Patch. I have tested it several times without any problems now.
hi @PugLove888,
i tested this with a small Abstract painting last week (i wanted to see what happened, too!) and going to work didn't trigger the bug. most likely because (like you said) there were no loading screens involved. my Sim started the painting, stopped it and left for work, and was able to resume it after she returned home. 👍
it's strange. since Sims can leave the house for other things (i also tested with jogging)... it seems to be that the loading screens are to blame for this. :'(
Yes, @crinrict & @unseenlarks , I also finally tested to see if going to work would trigger this bug, and going to work (not counting doctor, police detective, scientist, or vet) does not trigger the bug, just like Unseenlarks stated. I had the feeling it was related to the loading screens or to the player leaving the lot and not to the Sim leaving the lot. 🤨
