Sul sul, @willparkinson!
First of all, thanks for taking the time to report this issue to us.
We are currently investigating this but we struggle a bit with the reproduction.
It would indeed help us a lot if we could take a look at your save file.
If you don't mind sharing it with our team, here is how you can send it over to us!

I recently had my digitalistic sketchpad break similarly, ie my sim could only use it to do paint by reference and it was worth nothing when I did sold it. My sim was a digital artist and I know I was having him use it (I can't remember for sure if was using it to complete some freelancer gig tasks vs just using it for a painting, but I think it may have been for a gig) but what I did notice is that everything froze in my save but time continued to pass. I had set my sims to do things so didn't realize right away, however, when I did notice, I started resetting them and resetting the sim using the sketch pad got everything working again however, after doing that the digitalistic sketchpad stopped working properly. I just wrote it off as a one off until I saw this report here.
Best regards,
Jennifer

@SimGuruKuxiku I am getting the same issue and it is creating a last exception for the sketchpad. I will DM you my latest save file. I am using the sketch impression option on the sketchpad. My Sim is in the stylist career.

Mine is doing the same, I play on xbox one, I dont have any packs, just base game, it worked fine for a while, then my sim in the style influencer career did the sketch impression interaction on it a couple times and then it changed to this, it just has pant from reference, put in inventory and the grayed out high performance upgrade because my sim isnt level 4 handiness. I sold it and bought a new one and it worked again, but then I tried to sketch on it to finish the 2 hours and the new one has stopped working now too.

I just had the same issues start in the last couple of days, but the only lastexceptions I see don't even mention the sketchpad. I have never had mods on this installation, all packs. I have two sims in this household, one who is a style influencer, one who is a freelance digital artist, so both use sketchpads. I've seen each of their digitalistic sketchpads suddenly with few available interactions and sell value of 0 simoleons. It's quite annoying having to replace them all the time... thank goodness for the money cheats.
November 2020
Style Influencer Sims now perform Quick Sketch Impression without breaking the Digital Sketchpad. Be kind with your tools and toys.
Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33
