With the new patch notes and Zerbu saying it's fixed for him, I'm going to accept this as solved for now.
If anyone still has issues, let me know so we can re-open this.
As of Patch 1.24.102/CL
If you have this issue and are on a mac, please post here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/WORKAROUND-MAC-Black-photos/td-p/5660969/jump-to/first-unread-message
After the new city living expansion, my canvas turns blank.
I can create normal paintings, but when i use the "paint from reference", the canvas just stays blank.
Are you on a Mac or PC ?
Same thing is happening to me, paints blank. im on a mac
Mine seems to do with City Living too and taking photos, they don't even show when they appear in my sims inventory, also tried putting them on the wall, i've never seen them not be black since the installation of the city living expansion. it's starting to bug me because i love the photography on TS4.
I've tired to repair and update all expansion, game and stuff packs but its not helped...
also i'm on a mac running the newest iOS and i've never hd this problem before...
There's a new issue on macs. You have to turn off Retina Display in your options until that is fixed
