Ideas
2nd edit - 23sept25 I am still researching this but I now think the photo's in the ornate keepsake box was maybe fixed so they would not turn black anymore? But photo's previous to the fix would be lost??? - I think they turned black before the fix and the fix just didn't "fix" the photo's in the keepsake boxes??
I don't know but so far... I have not had any NEW photo's that I took yesterday using the phone camera, camera from inventory, or the photo studio, they have not turned black as of yet. I have moved them in an out of the keepsake box, in and out of other family members inventory, gone online/offline, opened different households/neighborhoods and then back to the family where I made the new photo's and they still are not black.
I did find that I cannot select a pose when using the camera on the phone, the camera in the inventory and when using the camera on the tripod. I am still investigating this in my game but wanted to give an update. I also want to test this further with other neighborhoods and families. It's going to take more than a hot minute.

This is absolutely wild! Edit: You have PC tagged - I am on PC 100% virgin game - never cc or mod.
"If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those"
Seriously?? I went in a family I have not played in months.... went in it yesterday and again this morning. This morning I opened the Truly ornate keepsake box to sort out photographs I put in there and found them all black, but none of the photographs on the walls were black. I have not tried to take photographs as of yet but that was my intention until I found this. I came here immediately.
Picture #2 are photos on the wall that have not yet turned black??? I will try that today in my game and come back to report if it does or not. in the meantime - Here is my proof that photos on the wall are not black right now.
