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 dragging in live mode) the image appears as intended. Additionally, if I "save and go to manage worlds" and then reload the lot, the image will appear as intended. 

I have no mods or CC installed. I am using the base game (version 1.117.227.1030 DX11) through Steam, with all packs disabled in the pack selector, and was able to replicate the issue on a clean save file. 

I created a video demonstrating the issue, as well. :)

I hope this helps. Thank you in advance, and have a great day. 💖

    Hello, When I paint a painting with a reference, when I save the game and log back in, it comes up blank. I don't have any mods; it's on PC, and everything is up to date.

  • Same Thing Happened To Me To. Let's Hope They Fix It In The Next Base Game Patch Update.

    Hello, the same thing happens to me when I paint reference pictures. Once I save the game, when I come back, they appear blank.

  • Hi! This has also been happening to me on their home lot with paintings from the easel and also tattoo designs from the tablet. It displays correctly when made on the easel/ in the inventory but once placed on a wall it turns blank. Weird glitch happens where you can put on wall and then back on easel/inventory and then back on wall to get it to work but its very finnicky/sometimes does not work. No last exception/ error message comes up for me.

    My sim completes paintings, but the canvas she has been working on is still blank.

    I had 4 Sims on the lot. Game play was very leggy. Also while painting the canvas remained blank. Same with cross stitch.

    Where was the sim doing the painting, when the canvas was blank? Was it at the Romance Festival or at another place, or in their home?

    I am not sure if mine is the same problem.

    I had a sim attend university. All the paintings he painted there were blank when he painted them but okay when he hung them in the dorm. I move him back into a house along with the paintings. They all turned blank, when he moved in and I put them on the wall. 

    I then had him, paint from reference, at Innisgreen. The canvas remained blank when he was painting but when I took him home and hung it on the wall it was okay. I later went to play another family and when I came back to play my painter sim's lot, the canvas was blank again.

    I had him paint some, paintings by reference, while on his own lot. The painted up fine, not blank, while painting. I hung them up and went to play another family. Same thing happened again. All, paint by reference, paintings were blank.

    He has painted other regular paintings, while on lot and those have all been fine. Not balank while he painted and not blank when I returned to play the lot. There was even a painting, that was painted by a sim visiting the lot and that one was fine too. I haven't had him paint regular painting off lot and being them home yet. 

    On PC. latest patch. Never any mods. Never any CC. All packs, except some kits.

  • I have this issue, of Paint by reference Paintings turning blank when resuming a game. I tested with a no mods (MCC & Ui cheats), brand new save game. 

    Everything updated, all packs except a few kits.

    The photo taken of same scene. The second painting, also Paint by Reference I put in inventory before dragging to wall, as a test.
