Same thing happens to me. Very frustrating. I use a lot of mods and disabling/enabling them was frustrating, especially when it didn't solve the issue at all.

I agree, very frustrating. Until the bug is squashed, if you buy a new one it will work - so long as you don't multitask while using it.

    How do you stop your sims from multitasking with it? I had 2 sketchpads they both broke and the sketchpad was worth 0 to sell back.

      Honestly, I stopped using it unless I have a specific task that requires it. I had quite a struggle with keeping her from listening to music or talking while using the sketchpad and in the beginning, that $750 is really expensive!

      You could use the "kaching" cheat to add $1000 to your bank if it happens again. That will offset the cost, plus a little more to compensate for your trouble 🙂  I don't personally use cheats, unless it's to fix a bug, and this is definitely a bug. To compensate, press ctrl-shift-c to bring up the command window, type "testingcheats on" (type everything without the quotation marks) - "kaching" - "testingcheats off" - press ctrl-shift-c to close the window again.
