    Perfectionists Sims will now save their paintings in their Inventory instead of starting over even after completing a perfect painting. Maybe they were striving to perfection… too hard.

    Fixed in Patch 1.82.99/1.50

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

I've been watching my sim closely, and she is AUTONOMOUSLY SCRAPPING any finished paintings if I don't catch her IMMEDIATELY pause the game and sell them. I OFTEN don't get a CHANCE to sell them, b/c she just immediately scraps the painting.

    Are you sure that’s a bug? I wouldn’t have expected perfectionist Sims to “scrap” paintings they don’t think are good enough to their inventory. I’d expect them to trash them. To have an “ugh, no!” reaction and the painting attempt is gone. I would not expect them to be willing to display/sell it anyway, because that would make them okay with the imperfections.

    Annoying, yes, if you’re trying to get a perfectionist to work in a painting career, but perhaps painting is not for them, just as parenthood is not for a child hating sim. Artists need to be able to say “It’s not exactly what I envisioned but it’s still good” or they’re going to be paralyzed...

    I suppose maybe it needs tuning? If a level 10 painter was still regularly scrapping the majority of their paintings that might be an issue. Unless they really are scrapping everything that isn’t a masterpiece at that point, which... I kind of like?

      Yes @PipMenace, I'd agree that this isn't a bug and that it's working as intended. The solution isn't to change Perfectionist Sims' behavior, it's to use different Sim traits if you don't want this to happen.
