In Businesses and Hobbies, we introduced optimizations to reduce save size by removing custom images that are no longer in use. While this helped performance and storage, it also introduced new edge cases. In some situations, images that were still being used were mistakenly removed.

"... the game no longer has the data needed to display the picture..."
I do not see. Sounds like our legacy photos are GONE, unless you have an earlier save to load AFTER EA has a successful fix.
Is the "data needed" to display the photo permanently gone?
Is there no working fix because EA wants to eliminate photography and custom images from the game?
