"Paint from reference" paintings are turning white upon loading game

I've tried MANY things. I'm currently at a point where I believe the issue lies either within a sims pack or within the core base game itself.

Things I have tried so far:

  • Just "saving" instead of "save & exit"
  • Framing and/or naming the canvas
  • Deleting the localthumbcache.package EVERY single time I tested
  • Remove mods, try with just packs & base game, same thing happened
  • Try to save the room the paintings are in and re-load the room.
    • This is a WHOLE new issue in itself too- i can't even save the room more than half the time. Any room really. I tried to save the painting room 5 different times, only ONCE did it actually save the room, and that time was without the painting being in the room. I tried saving it 2 other times without the painting in the room and I couldn't get it to save those 2 other times. I really don't know what caused it to save that one singular instance. 
  • Load up a completely new, fresh save with no mods and packs only
  • Repair my game

I added an attachment with packs I DON'T own. This seems like such a major bug and I've seen it around for about 2 months now, what gives?

    I've had this issue since the August update. I've tried everything I can find online to try and then some. The "fix" to save it to a gallery doesn't work either as it's still blank when you place it. I literally only have the base game installed as I can't play my family where I've painted each age of each generation. Even with only the base game installed, it's still blank after any save, exit combo.
