@aya_skiee I did find this on blank canvases and wondered if this is what you're having: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Is-that-only-me-having-the-blank-painting-issu...
Also, can you try setting your graphics to the highest settings to see if this makes a difference? Go to Options Menu > Game Options > Graphics and choose "Ultra" in the "Graphics" dropdown options.

I followed the steps and the images have not changed back.
I checked the graphics and they are on the highest setting.
This is what it looks like.

@aya_skiee Can I have you try something, please? I just checked in my game in a lot I had previously made that was uploaded with a paint by reference on the second floor, back balcany. I still see the painting there, plus when I place it from a save of it that is shared to the gallery in my library the pic placed correctly and still shows. Can you see if this painting shows up properly in your game if you place this lot? I am going try a couple of other experiments in the meantime: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/0109E981B5F311E9826A898789D8E217
