Was it the exact scenario described on the first post that made it disappear for you ?

Do you have any LEs ? Could be something else doing it as there have been 3 scenarios fixed so far that cause the pad to break.

@crinrict 

Letting you know that listening to the radio/multitasking still seems to be breaking the sketchpads.

Mine threw a Last Exception error related to posture.

My style influencer was working from home.  Trying to sketch for two hours.  Using Sketch Quick Impression.

I attempted to have her both sit at the desk (which has a computer on) and listen to the radio while sketching.

Result was a sort of reset.  The L.E. popped up.  The sketchpad was on the floor.

The only options on the pad now are "High Spec Upgrade" (or whatever that interaction is) and "Place in Inventory".  My Sim can't upgrade due to insufficient Handiness skill.

Similar circumstances (listening to radio) broke a second pad.  I didn't bother to save that game.

    Is it just for the radio multitasking ? If so, best to create a new thread and add the LE.

      My Sim too is a Freelancer Painter and the Freelancer option on the Sketchpad was not there.  So after much reading, repairing my game, sorting mods out and clearing caches, I came to the conclusion that it was a mod or mods that caused my issue with Sketchpad.  So, imo, if anyone is experiencing issues with any part of the Freelancer career, it is most likely your mods.  If you do not play with mods, it may just be a corrupted save.  Btw, one of my other Sims is a Freelancer writer and no problem there.
