Freelancer Career - "Edit Rejected Content" Takes Far Too Long

Basically, if you've done the Freelancer Digital Artist or Writer career, if your painting/book is ever rejected, the interaction to "edit" it to try and resubmit it takes waaaay too long compared to just creating a brand new painting/book.

Like, why should I spend the same amount of time it takes to write a whole new book to edit the rejected book?
It'd be far better to just send my rejected book off for publishing, and get royalties from it, and spend the same amount of time just writing a new book to submit than to choose to just edit it.

And the situation is even worse for Digital Artists! With an upgraded sketch pad, you can create an entirely new picture in like 10 Sim minutes (or less for tiny jobs like Icons), whereas editing a rejected painting takes like 10x the amount of time.
There's no reason to not just sell the reject to cut your losses and make a brand new painting from scratch.

The "Edit Rejected Content" interaction should be tuned to complete much faster.

    I thought this as well! I end up just selling the rejected one and creating a new painting.
  • I also have the issue of the edited content being rejected multiple times. Doesnt seem to make a difference if my sim has maxed the skill. It would make more sense if my sim had level 2 painting and then had their artwork rejected but at level 10 its just irritating. Like whats the point of improving when it doesnt change anything?
  • I have had a bestseller biography get rejected by the client twice and I lost the book. I was so mad I quit the career. Come on, I could understand it if the quality was normal or even excellent, but a best seller. I just don't get how it is decided.
  • I have written SIX books and they all got rejected. Most of them were bestsellers, and my sim has a maxed out writing skill. Even the edited content wasn't good enough. Seriously, are these CPU sims that picky?!
  • @CelSims I'm definitely trying that. I had my master painter with all the reward traits join the freelance career, and there's this once where she had to use two sim days just to have her content approved. Really wish they actually harmonised the packs with existing reward traits, AND not make it so nonsensical.
