Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
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? 4
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Most of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your SIM paint. They will often finish the painting then immediately scrap it to begin a new one. No chance to sell or hang the picture.
What happens when the bug occurs? See above
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the SIM.leave the painting on the easel and go find something else to do. Giving time to frame / hang / sell the painting. Fyi I have seen lots of posts of others having same issues. I have no cc and never cheated because I like to chase trophies.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
A common problem

@scarlettwebb95what traits does your sim have? I've seen occasions when a perfectionist sim will scrap poorer quality paintings (edit: I believe this is a bug - check out https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Perfectionist-Sims-painting-don-t-go-in-inventory-when/m-p/10269110/highlight/true#M180270 )

Seeing this on Xbox One. My perfectionist sim will paint something, then without me doing anything at all they will autonomously start a new one while the old painting just disappears. The paintings that disappear are nowhere to be found either, not in my sim's personal inventory and not in the household inventory. I just recently came back to this game after giving it a break for a few months, but I'm already considering quitting again since it's still filled with problems some of which are the same problems that caused me to stop playing in the first place.

It is so annoying to have a sim just make the finished painting vanish. I'd understand it if they put in in their inventory but it's usually hard earned money blown up in smoke....

It's not just poor quality paintings. The little star-star-star just scrapped a masterpiece. Got the moodlets for a masterwork painting, but no painting.
