Update 4 (2026-08-27) officially addressed this painting issue: Saved wall paint no longer matches the state before loading. If it still occurs after updating, treat it as a possible regression or different cause, not a guaranteed repair of your existing save.
Match the symptom
Saved wall paint no longer matches the state before loading.
Check before changing your save
Compare the painted surface itself with its objective; color loss and objective loss are separate symptoms.
- Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.
- Compare the painted surface itself with its objective; color loss and objective loss are separate symptoms.
- Keep before-and-after images rather than repainting the whole house.
Official fix versus your current save
The developer's Update 4 note establishes a historical fix for this symptom. It does not publish a universal recovery command or prove that a previously damaged save will repair itself. This guide has not independently retested your save.
Recovery decision
Keep before-and-after images rather than repainting the whole house.
- If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
- If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
- If it repeats, report painting, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
