★★★ Novice

I am on a Macbook air and this just happened to me. I put a bunch of my photos into the one of the new discover university chests, and when I took them out they were all black. Photos in my household and personal inventory are fine, just the ones that were placed in the chest.

Photos turn black after traveling

★ Guide

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all except Moschino stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? take a photo on the In a Flash Photo Studio, display it on the wall. travel, or follow a sim to work. about half the time when you get back the photos are black.
What happens when the bug occurs? after travel, photos turn black on the wall and in sim inventory
What do you expect to see? I expect photos to stay as they are.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

This only seems to be affecting photos taken since Jan 10th. pictures taken earlier are unaffected.

@Andrea058523 Hm .. I tested this on my own save and didn't have it happen. This has been an on/off issue and we have a thread here that I also couldn't duplicate: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Photographs-turn-black-after-removal-from-a-wall/t...

- Does it matter if you frame them or not ?
- Does it matter with which frame you framed them ?
- What quality did those have ?
- How many Sims were on the photos ?
- Does it happen with every household/save you have ?

the frame makes no difference, neither does filter
one sim per photo
outstanding quality, though the same happened with other qualities as well
haven't tested it on other saves

@Andrea058523 Did you at any point put them in a container before hanging up ?

Would be good if you could test another save to see if it's isolated or not.

This happens to me after putting the photos into the trunk that came with DU.
