Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Have a sim complete a painting. 2. Wait for sim to autonomously start a new painting. 3. Observe as the sim scraps the current painting to start a new one. 3b. You will see no simoleons gained, but simoleons lost indicating that the painting was not sold but scrapped in order to start the new painting.
What happens when the bug occurs? Whenever a sim autonomously starts a painting.
What do you expect to see? I'd expect to see one of the following: 1. Sims do not autonomously start painting if the easel is occupied by a painting. 2. Sims autonomously sell completed paintings and not waste their funds. (I like responsible, frugal sims, can you blame me.)
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I don't have any videos, but it's a fairly simple bug (or unintended effect). I will say that I didn't have it occur before the Likes/Dislikes update, so it may have something to do with that, but it is not connected to a sim liking/disliking painting. The bug occurs regardless of opinion of painting.

Yes. I found this thread after posting, didn't stop to check if my sim was a perfectionist, was just confused as to why he kept wasting money.

I have the exact same problem. I have a level 10 painter that will trash even excellent paintings. I tried to go to build mode right after she finished painting and I while I could select and drag the painting, I couldnt place it anywhere due to ~"object not found in this world" message (or something similar)
This has happened NUMEROUS times and she is a level 10 painter with perfectionist trait.
