[TS4] Can you help me confirm a BUG with the basegame SKETCHPAD! [Solved... kinda ?]

[PECO]

Hey guys, i'm facing a weird bug with the ingame SKETCHPAD object (not to be confused with the tablet, which works just fine!)
Seems to be a vanilla game bug, not related to any mods, but can someone confirm it to me, that it's definitely not just something specifically wrong with my game...

 

BUG DESCRIPTION:

• Happens when I cancel a painting interaction before it's finished, the Sketchpad hangs in the air in 45 degree, instead of being put back into the sims' inventory.
  Also gets a last exception error.

HOW TO REPLICATE:

1. Buy a sketchpad (duh.) [ Activities and Skills > Creative > Digitalistic Sketchpad $750 ]
2. Select a painting option from the pie menu (for example "Firgure painting")
3. Before it finishes, cancel the interaction in the que (bottom left, lol)

gratuitous butt shot included for good measure

Please don't reply with "have you tried XYZ" without actually trying to replicate this in game first. I'm not a total noob, I tried all the basic troubleshooting stuff.

Just tested it and he just put it down on the floor with no errors.

Bear in mind I haven't updated my game to 1.89 yet.

@Peco_CinErotique

Hi,

I'm getting the same error, (updated to current version) the sketchpad completely unusable after cancelling the painting.

I can't even use the debug function when shift clicking.

(also not a noob here)

 

The last exception I got from the game pretty much reads the same as yours; but last exception assistant just gave me unknown errors. 

 

So I'm taking an educated guess that this might be a base game issue introduced in the latest patch;

as @Scorpio pointed out, he hasn't updated the game to current version yet, and it works fine for him.

Also the fact that it was working for me not that long ago, (before the wedding stories DLC update was the last time I used it).

honestly, that's equally strange , as according to the PutDownStrategy assigned to the sketchpad it should always be prioritize to put the sketchpad back into the sims' inventory.

Sims often put down drinks, food, homework, or other things, on the ground too, but they don't cause errors obviously.

Since you've likely removed all your mods to test this I can only assume it's another EA bug since they often break their own stuff with game patches.

That's somewhat different, for example, food uses the PutDownStrategy_Food_Single tuning, which heavily prioritizes surfaces/floor over inventory.

I'll just chime in here even though I'm still waiting to update my game.

When I use the tablet, sims will put it in their inventory. If it's throwing errors then it's probably a game bug. There's something about the GlobalResolver that seems to be causing issues as I've seen referenced before with the new update.

Did you cancel the painting progress but they still put it back in their inventory?

No, because I'm a dumbass and can't read properly. Even if it IS in big, bold letters. lol

I'll test but again, it's not worth much because my game isn't updated.

 

EDIT: I cancelled it a few different times and my sim always puts it back in his inventory.

Okay, thanks, so it seems that it's a recently added "new feature" by EA then.

Just happened to me yesterday.

Had my player sim resume the sketch he'd started before.

Then an NPC asked for Sex and he carried it a bit further and then it vanished.

Checked around in inventory and on the ground but nothing.

Then today I noticed it hanging in mid-air.

 

It's happened before with other objects they were using or carrying tho.

Ooof... that makes this bug a landmine.
It's one thing that it can be avoided by not cancelling the interaction manually, but for a random autonomous action triggering it - that you can't foresee - now that really make it suck super hard.

When WW starts going other Sims jump off the sofa's, chairs, and interrupt interactions plus more.

It's like a mini-reset to the whole game and it's been that way for ages.

Sorry for Necroing this thread... just wanted to disclose that this issue seems to have been finally fixed in the v1.90x game update.
