My sim has a job of imaginative imagist. Lol. Her task is to create 3 different sized high-quality paintings. So far I've been able to get 2 out of the 3. She is a level 9 painter. I haven't been able to get another high quality painting. She either gets a masterpiece or excellent. Is there a way I can get my last high quality painting so I can get a promotion?

These career paths don't seem very well thought out or tested.

Well, it's not the tag, it's the number of replies actually.
I generally don't read threads that exceed 2 pages unless the thread title seems interesting (sadly in 99% cases is misleading).
Anyway, to the topic.
"Excellent" was enough quality of the painting to fullfill this task in my game. If the game won't recognize it, it's a bug or there is a hidden requirement not mentioned we're not aware of.
It's shouldn't be connected to the skill level as my painter was level 10 skill while doing it.
I can think of two things to try:
1. Travel to a public lot, save the game then exit. Start the game again, retry to get the painting (unfreezing "stuck" counter)
2. If there is a hidden requirement it's most probably "being inspired". So do try to paint these three paintings while inspired (enable the career reward aura near the eel).
But there is another thing to note and that's - I did it with the release game version. In the meantime 4 hotfixes were applied on the game and it's possible a hotfix broke this career.
So I'm gonna create a new sim and test this. Won't be long, maybe I'll need an hour or so.
Will return with screenshots after a while.
To be sure, created a completely new sim. Avoided "painting" traits just to be sure the career doesn't bug because of lacking creative trait:
As said and done again, painting skill level 10 was acquired before the erroneous stage in upper posts:
And finally the career requirement.
As it's seen from the screenshot, being inspired is not the requirement, my sim was confident.
All three different sized paintings created were classic style, and all were "excellent" which fullfilled the requirement.
The easel was the "cra.ppy" one, I didn't use the one from career rewards.
Dunno if it matters (shouldn't matter!) but sim also in the meantime solved painting aspiration.
I simply can't reproduce the bug, in fact I have no idea what's broken in upper games.
Honestly.
I can only suggest trying with the "worst" easel and trying to paint another three paintings of different size (small, medium, large). If that failes, the only option would be restarting the career (quit the job on PC, then get hired again).
If restarting the career still won't do, please post exact traits your sim has. So I can retry and see if some trait causes the bug (wouldn't surprise me).
All traits please: CAS traits, whimrewards traits and aspiration traits your sim has.
