Fewer Masterpieces and decreasing values.
Am getting fewer and fewer Masterpiece paintings and their values keep decreasing. Have not gotten one worth 8k in seven weeks (270 hours of game play); 6k in five weeks and now no masterpieces worth...

Thank you so much. I just uninstalled the game and installed only the add-ons I had originally purchased. I also backed up my files then deleted all game files except the Library. Right now the game is updating. Will be creating a new character. If his painting is successful (Masterpieces worth 7k and up) show up I will be sure to let you know.
It is disturbing that EA may have deliberately caused this. SHAME ON THEM if this is true.
Again, thank you.
@BlackDragon4160 I have no reason to believe EA caused the issue since so far no one else is posting that they have the issue, and since it didn't show up in my test, so hopefully it's just some glitch that will work itself out after your updates/reinstall. I look forward to see what you find happens in the 'new' game. Good luck! 🙌
- @SheriGR This is slightly off-topic but EA definitely lowered the value of rare fish when they re-vamped Fishing a few months back. To me it did seem out of balance before the change anyway, so I was ok with it. Idk about paintings though, but maybe it is possible?
On a very limited test I just tried my Level 10 painter, all needs in the green, +3 Inspired, and on the best easel, and after many attempts she couldn't produce anything near 10k simoleons. She did have two cats in her studio, constantly meowing for attention, so I blame them xD@RandomBuzziness Yes, I also wouldn't be surprised if they ever did tweak it some, especially with the addition of freelance careers that use the skills, etc. In the lot I mentioned I see she completed another Masterpiece on the easel (also all primed in environment, easel type, etc.) and this one is only worth $2,740. In that case I'm not positive of all of the mood/need conditions, but since it's a masterpiece you would think the pricing would be similar to the other one, as this is supposed to be the highest quality and all!
Thank you. Glad no one else is having this annoying problem.
