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:
