RBF - Perfectionist No Canvas Destroying
If you have ever played The Sims 4 with a Sim who possesses the Perfectionist trait, you know the struggle. Your Sim paints a masterpiece, steps back to admire it, and then suddenly decides it is not good enough. Before you can blink, they have destroyed the canvas and started over from scratch. It is frustrating, immersion-breaking, and frankly, it feels like a bug rather than a feature. That is exactly where the RBF - Perfectionist No Canvas Destroying mod steps in to save your artistic sanity.
What Does This Mod Fix?
The core issue lies in a new feature that EA added to the game. Sims with the Perfectionist trait receive a "push" to retry their current action when they are not satisfied. For painting, this push triggers the destruction of the current canvas on the easel. The problem? This behavior does not occur with other retry interactions, such as writing or crafting. This inconsistency strongly suggests that the canvas destruction is a bug, not an intentional gameplay mechanic.
The RBF - Perfectionist No Canvas Destroying for The Sims 4 addresses this by adding a "Slot Empty Test" to the retry logic. This means your Perfectionist Sim will only retry via easels if the easel slot is completely empty. If there is a canvas on the easel, they will not destroy it. They will simply continue working or move on, preserving your digital artwork and your peace of mind.

- Stops the automatic destruction of canvases on easels for Perfectionist Sims.
