Love the new sketch pad....BUT....

....it could use a few tweaks.
Other than that, I really like the item -- when my Sims build up some money (I just moved them to a bigger house so cash is at a premium) I want to send at least one of my artists to Selvadorada to sketch the scenery.
- I had my artist use the sketch pad, and the paintings didn't count towards his Daily Task of Create Paintings. I think that should be fixed.
- I dislike that Sims using the pad will stop halfway through a painting then set the pad down -- is there a way they could automatically put it back in their inventory? I'm always having to hunt around the lot to find where they left it. (Same issue with the Wabbit Tablet but you expect toddlers to leave stuff all over the place.)
- Related to the previous suggestion, I'd also like them to finish a painting before putting the sketch pad down or away.

Regarding #2...I so agree. I hate toddlers doing it with the Wabbit Tablet too. Like you said, makes sense...but it still drives me nuts.
I've been watching for a mod to correct the behaviour with the sketch pad...but haven't seen one yet.

If there is a pool on the lot, try editing it and see if that helps.

Oh, you beat me to it @Stormkeep. A sketch pad is for sketches as in generally pencil, or even pastels (a refined chalk).

I get that -- but you can paint full paintings on the electronic sketchpad (same ones you can on the easel, with the addition of "sketch impression" I think. So it's more an electronic easel. It produces a full painting which automatically goes into the inventory (if you want to choose whether to sell to a collector or art gallery you have to drag it to an empty wall and chooks from there).
I hit the Me Too for the first one -- thanks. Not quite what I'm hitting on the second one -- they don't reset, they start the painting then set down the tablet; if outside they'll put it on the ground or the picnic table, or if inside they'll often put it on a table or the fireplace mantel. And I have no pool on my home lot which is where it tends to happen.

Definitely looking forward to playing with that in game. I wasn't aware that the sketchpad I've heard people talk about for the game was digital.
