    Hey @crinrict ! Yes, I did all that already and I tried to play on other families, they could paint. So it was this one sim that couldn't do it. She's an artist so I've painted a lot with her, max skills. There's no problem with pictures, I have a lot of them, but that couldn't be causing the problem either, I knew it. So I tried something. I added my sim to another family, and back to the original fam, did the "paint from reference" option and it worked. I guess it was my own sim/family's glitch, I don't know. But, the problem seems to be solved....(For now??)

    Thanks anyway. 🙂

Hi @saarakatarina

just tested this. Works fine in my game. 

Did you delete your localthumbscache after taking out mods ? Do you have any issues taking normal pictures ? What level painting skill does your Sim have ?

      That's good to hear.
