Re: [FIXED] Photographs turn black (Patch 1.58.69)
I have this issue too but not relating to January 10th. I haven’t quite figured out exactly what’s causing it but my current hypothesis is that it’s related to traveling while leaving photos in the ICYA chest on the lot. In addition to my sim’s photos being black (in inventory & on the wall and with & without frames) all of her paint from reference paintings are white/blank. I can see all of the photographs are still in my game files so it seems they’re just disconnected from the object. Here’s what I’ve figured out so far:
* When my sim takes a photograph and leaves it in her inventory she can travel and the photo does not turn black.
* When she puts the photo in an ICYA chest and then puts the ICYA chest in her inventory she can travel and the photo does not turn black.
* When she puts the photo in an ICYA chest and travels but leaves the chest on her home lot the photo turns black.
I *think* it might also be related to leaving the photos in the ICYA chest at a certain time of day in-game because there seems to be inconsistency as to when the photos turn black in the ICYA chest. Traveling to another lot and returning doesn’t always cause them to turn black but being away from the home lot for an extended period of time seems to cause the issue. I’ve also had them turn black when in the ICYA chest in the household inventory but I haven’t paid close enough attention yet to determine whether that’s from leaving them in the inventory or whether it’s exactly like leaving them on the home lot while she travels.
I don’t use any mods or CC so it’s definitely some sort of (obscure) bug. Possibly related to Paint from Reference as well? I think that had caused similar black photos in the past but IIRC that was sim-specific and I’ve had photos turn black in the ICYA chest even for sims who have never painted at all.
