I've noticed for the last week I haven't been able to resume a painting after my sim stops painting. You have to scrap the painting and start again. Playing on Mac. Not cc or mods.
Ideas
i have the same problem. my teenage sim, not an occult, doesn't resume paintings — the action just cancels right away, so i have to scrap the painting and start over. i blamed it on my mods at first, but the issue persists even if i remove all of them, although i haven't tested it in an unmodded save file. another family in the same save also has this bug.
i cannot find a pattern why it happens — it might happen to painting of any size or style, sometimes it doesn't happen and my sim successfully finishes a painting. using a digital sketchpad is also affected by it, not sure about woodworking yet, i'm going to test it out.
i'm pretty sure it's a recent problem for me, either after sept or oct patch, i definitely didn't have this problem before
upd i’m on mac os, too, if it’s relevant
