Post Paintings made by Sims turn into canvases w/ question marks?
I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else. It seems that all the old paintings my Sim did have changed; Image

A few of the (newer) pieces already hanged on the walls before my last save still show up (not shown in this picture), but all of the older paintings have turned into question marks.

I was intending to fill my house with art produced by my sim, but it seems that may not be possible. What a bummer.

That has to be a bug! If it's not a bug, then it's just stupid :no:

I have not tried painting yet, so will have to see what happens when my sims do.

Considering your a painter you most likey already did this, but did you name your paintings?

Painting is actually one of the things I haven't tried yet (I really should try it out). That would piss me off if that happened to me though :Astonished:

I wonder if it's the same thing that can happen in Sims 2. I've heard some people's paintings going blank or something after so many paintings. I really hope it's a bug too and that it will be fixed, cause I had planned one of my sims to be a painter and hang them up in alot of places

Maybe I'll try it out and see if the same thing happens to me

I remember once in TS2 I was playing the asylum challenge and I decided I wanted paintings of all the 'inmates' up on the wall. I put them all up but then decided I wanted them in different places, so put them all into one sims inventory and the stupid game turned them all into the same painting. I was so pissed off.

Sorry, that totally doesn't help the OP! I will stop ranting now.

It happened to me once when they moved out, and back.
Other times, they are OK.

Have you tried reverting to a backed-up game save? That should help

I moved out as well, in order to move the house to a new lot, so maybe it has something to do with that. The paintings still showed up when I first moved back into the house on its new lot, but after I saved and quit, then loaded my save the next day, the paintings were question marks. I'm entirely sure which paintings I did before relocating the house, so I can't say for certain that that was the cutoff point.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't create backup saves often enough to load up the old one and have to work up to where I'm at again. I'll just sell the paintings and take the cash, I suppose. At least they retained their value!
