Hey guys. I had my artist Sim go to the art museum lot and hang some of her paintings... trouble is, after she left, they all disappeared. :/ What's happening? I'm so disappointed.... Thank you!

I've sold some, and they pop up there, but I thought I could go in and place some deliberate choices since the museum-buying script only displays random works. Idk. Is this a common glitch? I've seen people sya you can hang paintings yourself no problem

It's been a long time since I've done any decorating at the museum with my Sim's stuff. But a long time ago, I believe that every time I went into Edit Town, the stuff was returned to my Sim's family inventory. Did you get any pop-out messages saying that things were returned to your inventory or did they just vanish from the museum's walls?

I used to make my Sim go to the art gallery and spray paint murals but every single time the cops would come to arrest my Sim. liek if u cri evrytiem

1 liek = 1 bail post

The way this works is that if it's a painting you really care about and hope to see again, it will vanish forever. If it's one you couldn't care less about, it will be prominently displayed, exhibited, and/or hung every time you go. How the game manages to figure out ways to annoy us like that so quietly and efficiently is a testament to its brilliant programming.


ETA: Whoops, forgot to check the dates of the OP. Hope two months doesn't count as a necro-revival, didn't mean to add to that.
