Something others probably already know, but new to me and tangental to the discussion:
You can lose your Sim's paintings if you use Edit Town to move the house to a new lot. Workaround seems to be taking down art your Sim created and putting it in personal or family inventory before making the change. I learned this the hard way, swiping the "Beautiful Vista" lot on Sunlit Tides from a less-deserving family.
It can make a difference if they are framed or not. I forget the details now - but in some circumstances you can lose your framed paintings but the unframed ones are not lost.
I can't say I recognize the problem and that probably is because I never frame them then. I don't like the frames because they're grey and too big for my taste and uncustomizable. It's a pity really you can't unframe them (I understand you do want to frame them when you want to make them part of an exposition), the way you can display gems and undisplay them again of you want to.
Deleting files in the WorldCaches folder broke one of my mods. It took me a while to figure out the problem until I restored those files from the recycle bin and it worked again.
This isn't totally related to the topic but I wanted to post about it. I wonder if others have experienced the same thing. This is the mod it "broke" until I restored the files... http://modthesims.info/d/358262
You think THAT is bad? I learned that if you upgrade your computer phone to the Future Sim Holo-Phone, [B][I]IT PURGES ITS INVENTORY AND YOU CANNOT GET YOUR PICTURES BACK[/I][/B].
Don't be like me. Don't end up having to go back to an older saved game!
@coco, thanks! That's a really useful link and it shows how the save file can become bloated. I had to disabled memories because in my first save file, the loading time had increased to 30 minutes! That's long even for somebody like me who grew up with loading games from cassettes
@nickibitsward, that's still a shame though, I'm sorry you're having that problem. I'll post up every time I find glitches/ways to solve glitches, so hopefully I can help more people that way too.
In before thread gets locked down for getting necro'd.

And for the same reason you should never import TravelDB from one save to another.
