For a still life, nothing more needs to be done; the Sim will start painting as soon as the player selects a scene, and can stop and continue as with any other painting. However, if the player chooses to have the Sim paint a portrait, the Sim to be painted will come to stand beside the easel.
The Sim cannot be posed, and the player will need to use the frame to line up the portrait. The Sim painting the portrait will only be able to work on it while the subject is standing next to the easel. If Open for Business is installed, painted canvases can be sold in an owned business for a higher value than if it is sold from the easel. Pets added the ability for Sims with at least five points of Creativity skill to paint custom paintings from images on the player's computer, as long as they have the same dimensions as the easel's canvas.
If FreeTime is installed, the easel also builds enthusiasm for the Arts and Crafts hobby. Since children, and even toddlers , can gain Creativity skill in The Sims 2 , the quality of a child's paintings will depend on his or her skill level, just as with adults. These wants and fears are only fulfilled if the painting is sold off the easel; they are not fulfilled if the painting is placed on a wall and sold in Buy mode.
Also, they are only fulfilled if the Sim who has them is the one who sells the painting. The first time a Sim sells a masterpiece, he or she will receive a positive memory. A Sim who has just sold a masterpiece will often receive a minor want to quit his or her job.
An easel with a partially-finished painting can be placed in a Sim's inventory. The painting can be finished at a later time.
However, if the Sim who has the easel in their inventory moves to a different lot, the easel will "forget" who started the painting, and the painting will have to be scrapped. Only the Sim who started a painting can continue it, though any Sim can scrap a painting.
Sims will not scrap paintings autonomously. Sims can't however use easels on any lot but their own. Sims can paint in three different sizes - small, medium and large. With higher skill levels, Sims can paint still life or portraits.
They can even memorize a scene to paint it later, and do stylized still lifes. With The Sims 3: World Adventures , Sims can make a painting from a photograph if their skill level is high enough.
Anyone from child to elder can paint, and improve their painting skill. There are also three toddler books that help give a head start to the painting skill when read. Fun: 2 Notes: Paintings produced with this easel will be painted on a holographic canvas, and the finished painting will be holographic. Fun: 2 Notes: This easel is effectively just a reskinned Artsy Easel. It is more elegantly shaped than the blocky, school-roomesque Artsy Easel.
Note: The Prima Guide states that Sims with no painting skill 0 will "Dabble" with the easel and be unable to select a canvas size; this has not been observed by players surveyed thus far. The interaction is noted in the easel parameters, however.
Speculation is that this interaction was a part of the beta only. At level six Sims will be able to randomly paint a Brilliant paintings; level nine for Masterpiece paintings. There are two ways for a painting to receive one of these labels: 1 a Sim paints above their level--for example, a Sim with a painting skill of six paints a level nine painting; 2 in addition, the game also has nine paintings exclusive to the Brilliant category, and 10 paintings exclusive to the Masterpiece category.
Note that skill level and number of paintings completed have no effect on painting speed. Mood supposedly does, though specific effects are yet unknown. There are basic paintings. Each painting has nine variations, which can be triggered by a Sim's personality. Basically, EA ran each of the paintings through some Photoshop filters name included under "Description" where applicable or added a color layer. While there is a degree of randomness to how much your painting will sell for, there are a few basic rules.
The "Paint Still-Life" interaction with the easel is unlocked when your Sim reaches skill level five. At level six Sims unlock "Paint Stylized Still-Life" and any combination of the three styles genius , insane , or somber depending on their traits.
Moodlets can also affect the style of the painting. Jump to: navigation , search. Category : Obsolete Tutorials. Personal tools Log in. Namespaces Page Discussion. Views Read View source View history. This page was last modified on 17 September , at
