Sims not painting/Stand before blank canvas

It happens maybe half of the time on any size or type of painting. They will place the canvas to start a new painting and then the action will disappear without a noticeable glitch to the sim. They just stand in front of it and the action is gone.

    Could you please provide the following information

    • Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    • Does this happen with all your Sims ?
    • Did you test a new save to see if it happens there as well ?

    My sims canvas is blank when painting and finished painting. It only shows the actual painting when in the sims inventory. I use mods but none that would impact this. It started after purchase/release of Enchanted by Nature.

    Please test your issue on a vanilla game

    To verify on a vanilla game, move your mods folder to the desktop and delete the following files from your user folder.

    -  localthumbcache
    -  Any lastException Files
    -  Any LastCrash files.

    Test a backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back.

    I do not have mods and I am experiencing the exact same issue. It sucks because I enjoy painting on the sims 4 a lot with all of my sims. I know it sounds weird but we all play our own way. I have to keep clicking for my sim to paint and sometimes when it is finished the painting is blank. Meaning I cannot sell it, display it, nor paint it. I know it occurred with the last update because I am a frequent player.

     

    It happens when I play different households and saves.

    With every single Sim or just fairies ? There's a known issue for fairies with their wings out.
