Hi @sushicrow 

is this about them doing it on their own only or do you have a View option on empty easels ?

Is this on all lots or only certain ones ? Also i you put easels in the world ?

[sushicrow]

This is on all worlds. Sims view empty easels automonously. The easels work normally when clicked. I haven't added easels to the world, other than in Sims' homes. When not a sim's house, most of the autonomous easel viewing happens in San Mushino.

Thanks for the extra info.

This literally just happened to me in game. I was fairly confused, to say the least. Again, my last update was the June patch - I don't have IL yet, but I have everything else. And it was a home lot in Newcrest.

Does anyone still see this ?

I think I first noticed this when we got CL and the Art Center venue. I don't pay much attention to it, because it doesn't seem to have any ill effect, but I think it's still around.

I have also seen this. While playing the pancakes I caught them staring at the empty easel on the balcony.

As soon as my sim is idle, and no stereo to dance to, they go and stare at the easel. I can't stop it with MCCC autonomy scan, because there is no "View" option for easels. My guess is they treat it like a painting or any other piece of art. Its not a game breaker, but to me, its pointless and a waste of time.

it has happened in every house and world I've played, also with NPC's.
