@omgitstat282 You mean when you paint from reference ? Do you also have issues if you do it without a freelancer task to di it ? Like just do it with any Sim even when they're not in the career ?

I just gave this a short test. My Sim is in the freelancer career but currently has a different gig. The paint from reference did appear in my inventory but I'm not sure if there's some different interaction if you have a actual gig to complete.

Good Luck

Hello, 


Yes, paint from reference. I have never tried to do it without the freelancing job. I did not know you could do it if you were not a freelancer. I will have to test it and see. Thanks for the idea.

@omgitstat282 This is just to find out if there's a general issue or only during a certain gig. I didn't test a certain gig but it works for me without it.

Have you tried repairing the game yet ?

Yes I understand but it is a great way to try and track where the issue starts. No I haven’t. Although I am not new to the sims, I am new to playing on PC so I do not know how to repair the game.
