Painting doesn't always appear/blank under certain circumstances

Hello, When I select the "create copy" interaction on a painting, the resulting copy appears blank (a white canvas) when it is hung on a wall. However, if I move the painting (by clicking and dragg...

Whenever I go to the Romance Festival and try to paint, the canvas comes out completely blank. It doesn’t matter what kind of painting I choose, when they finish it it’s just a white canvas.

I tested it at home and on other community lots and it works fine there, so it seems to only happen at the Romance Festival. I also tried removing all my mods and deleted localthumbcache but it still happens.

I checked my last exception and it keeps throwing errors about “JoinSituationElement”, so maybe it’s tied to the festival situation. Either way, it looks like a bug specific to that festival.

Could you please provide the following information

  • Post the complete LE you're getting. Open the file in a text editor and copy/paste the content
  • What scenario are you playing ? Does it happen without one (scenarios are the things you pick on the main menu to play)
  • Is your Sim an occult ?
  • What happens if you move the empty painting to your inventory and hang it on the wall at home ?
  • Are those paintings by ref or normal ones ? Does it matter ?

 

Unfortunately there's currently lots of issues with paintings/photos

    I’ve attached the LastException file as requested.

    • I’m not playing with a scenario, just normal gameplay.
    • My Sim isn’t an occult.
    • I haven’t tried moving the painting home yet – only tested it on the festival lot itself.
    • They’re just the standard “normal” paintings, not by reference.

    Hope that helps

      Thanks.

      You need to copy/paste the LE. You can't attach them.

        Thank you. There was an option to attach files – I don’t understand why it’s not showing up. A bug within this forum! Here it is below:
