So I have unfortunately come into another issue. After I downloaded that temp mod fix the sketchpad it looks like its caused a different issue. I only want you to know for the sake of knowing But my game is now freezing after about possibly from 2 minutes to over hours of game play. I'm doing my best to save often but I unfortunately am having issues even saving. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue I just wanted to spread the work on what's going on and such. It has not been in a set pattern but i know once it happens whatever I didn't save is gone because of this bet it 2 minuets ago that I save to even 4 hours of gameplay gone from forgetting to safe.
Thanks for reading if you have!

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.68.156.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Almost all of them, except for the Star Wars & Snowy Escapes. Those are the only two I don't have.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Join the Freelance Digital Artist Career, select a gig, speak to client about what they want, then using sketchpad create what the client want's for example Icon's.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim will go through the motion of using the sketchpad to create the icon, but never finishes. The sketchpad will then be on the floor. The icons aren't created and the task isn't marked as completed.
What do you expect to see? For the task to be completed and marked as completed. For there to be icons to get approved by the client.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The last patch for Snowy Escape is when I noticed the issue.

What is your current game version number? 1.68.156.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Together, Vampires
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim select the freelance artist career and try to complete a job. Finishing a piece on the digital sketchpad causes the sim to drop it on the floor and receive no artwork, despite still losing money, and therefore it's impossible to complete all tasks.
What happens when the bug occurs? I get my sim to paint on the digital sketchpad for hours, but instead of completing the piece and receiving it in her inventory she just drops the pad instantly. The sim does not receive the artwork they made and there is no option to resume any unfinished piece. It's simply as if they never spent the time to make it in the first place.
What do you expect to see? The sim should receive the artwork they made so they can finish their tasks and then also have the sketchpad in their inventory after, instead of it teleporting to the floor.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. November update
This is the most frustrating bug I've ever encountered since it completely ruins the career my sim has had for my entire playthrough. If she can't do her job and earn money yet waste hours and days making art that just disappears then I don't wanna waste my time on playing since I literally can't be productive in game.

My sims is in the freelance artist career and her work to summit to her client does not show in the inventory. I have no mods in my game and I have most recent update. It a fresh game file.

In this last update, the digital sketchpad is broken so you can't get the result painting. We will have to wait until they repair this bug tho!
