Paint by reference all turned white. (both in modded and unmodded games). Trying to make a copy of them did not work - instantly white. Previously completely paint by references are still white, the "fix" in the patch notes was not retroactive nor did it work.

Hi. I’d like to add some information.
I’ve had many paints by reference in my game. I do not use a filter.

After the Jan update turned all my previously unaffected paintings white, I replaced the painting manually using sims 4 studio.
The first time I opened the save (after I’ve restored all the paintings manually) the painting were all there. As I played the game and saved progress via “save as”, the painting slowly got deleted/ turned back to blank canvasses again. When I checked sims 4 studio, the custom game texture disparaged again.And I had to again, manually add it back.

I gave up after a while as I realise, as long as I had progress and saved my game, the paintings eventually turned white. So this bug appears to be a “saving game” issue. Everytime I save the game, (and I’ve checked with just “save” and “save as”), paintings by reference turn blank randomly.
