In Sims 2 paintings can appreciate in value if you don’t sell them right away. They especially go up in value if the original artist dies. It’s a super neat detail.

In Sims 4, if a sim achieves art aspiration, they’ll have a reward trait that will allow them to paint any types of emotional paintings.

[@tenneluna6948]

The crying after finishing the painting, same lmao 0:37 also the Sims 1 detail shots are really cool, i had no idea the game could be modded like this

[@adrianblake8876]

This wasn't mentioned in the video, but TS2 has a hidden painting skill. If two sims with the same creativity level, one who painted to get there, while the other played instruments to get there, the former will earn more from their paintings than the latter...

[@TheRedPlumbob]

Ohh that is super cool! Thank you for letting me know :) I've seen a few things mentioned that affect the price of paintings, so it just shows how in-depth this game is.

[@Diovanlestat]

I love painting in Sims 2. It's a very powerful tool. 1) Toddlers scribbles from the art table can be picked up and put on the wall. 2) Looking at a good painting three times can fill the fun bar to the top. 3) Sims can ask others to join them in looking at paintings, so you can have functional art galleries. Unfortunately this option is a bit buggy. 4) When you paint portraits, the sim being painted can indicate if they like it or hate it (again a bit buggy) 5) Custom painting is such a powerful tool. You can paint anything if the size is right. Newspapers, posters, famous artists, the list is endless. In my game one sim only paints horses, another only Da Vinci. Maxis defaults are not important. Artist now can have a style uniquely their own, and when they gift other Sims, you know where the painting is from. 6) When you add Open for Business, you now can sell that unique art. I got one sim that only sells farm signs, whilst another only sells expensive pictures of classical horses. 7) There is a Sims 2 cheat that allows you to replace any photo with a new image. Absolutely perfect for signs, but it may not be relevant here, because it does need a external paint programme. Any will do.

[@emilypegoraro9074]

Why is 2 problematic?

[@hallucy2215]

all you mentioned is in sims 3 then more, glazing hard

[@Diovanlestat]

@hallucy2215 I'm not surprise, since although Sim3 came 5 years later it copied many ideas and lots of animations from Sims 2. Sims 2 of course didn't have that luxury. Most of it was original because the preceding game was Sims 1 and that was 2D. I would expect with 5 years to create and using most of Sims 2 as a template, Sims 3must have been able to do something new.

[@ciasteczkatynki]

Children in Sims 1 have a creativity level assigned randomly. They always paint the same painting, but the price depends on the level they got. So no, not every child's creation will sell for 71 simoleons

[@magesticalmysterium6856]

yea, some children may obtain 10 Points. letting them earn 166 (Though I personally remember being able to use FAR Editors to change the painting easel tuning, I caused Paintings to sell for 500 at 10 Skill using the FAR Editor to make a mod, which, allows sims to actually make a living and keep valuable furniture)

[@TheRedPlumbob]

Huh, TIL, both my kids sold the painting at the same price, so I assumed it was the same. Thank you!

[@ciasteczkatynki]

@@TheRedPlumbob you got lucky! 😁

[@meikahidenori]

You can also sell paintings on a special stall in sims 4 with the city living pack. It's so useful to take to flea markets and sell your paintings at a 100% mark up from what they're worth! Also the kids when painting at the kids drawing table they have quite a few options to draw different things too. I love that about the kids table!

[@spiritmuse]

Oh that little whistle of the sims 1 sim painting brings back memories, I played that game so much!

[@petrnovak7235]

In Sims 4 there is also Freelancer Digital Artist career, which is about painting on the tablet. Anyway, I actually like the fact that in Sims 4 you have to pay for the canvas. It brings some balance to otherwise overpowered skill. And, let's face it, especially in Sims 3, painting was easy money. Glad they changed this. And these different art styles are also great. But I don't like the fact that large canvas in Sims 4 is the size of medium canvas in previous games. Still, Sims 4 is my winner here.

[@luli9991]

Pues yo creo que ganar dinero es super facil en los sims4 gracias a pintar Porque cuando haces el reto del vagabundo, lo pones a pintar un par de cuadros y ya es millonario En los otros juegos te daban muy poco dinero y cada cuadro tardaba muchisimo mas en ser completado

[@garrarockshard]

In the sims 4 under freelancer career, you can be a freelancer painter and it helps keep track of your progress and give you various gigs to chose from

[@nastjafisunova7258]

In Sims 4 there is also a possibility to visit painting lessons by phone, this is available every day from - as far as I can remember - 9:00 a.m. to 21:00 p.m. Also, with "University" packs we can study as future painter. I didn't play Sims 2, but I had these ones in Sims 3 and Sims 4 and really loved it))

[@InsaneStar7]

In Sims 4, when painting the focused art. There's more than one focused painting. Instead of just only creativity skill, you just have to get your logic skill up to have a different focused painting. Try when your Sim's skill logic is at level 5 or more to have a different image of the focused painting.

[@TheRedPlumbob]

Ohhhhh this explains everything! I wasted way too much time trying different things to make the painting change. Thank you!

[@candy-does-stuff4068]

I'm pretty sure the reason your sims paintings became weirdly dark/warm was because of her traits actually! Certain traits like genius or evil will cause a painting to gain a filter, like the pixelated one, I believe this can happen autonomously too? Sims 3 is honestly built around those traits and I'm SO happy about it, makes the game so much more fun to me!

[@nerdychocobo]

I did think they were dark even for sims 3s admittedly wonky camera captures and painting filters o.O

In The Sims 2, Sims will also sell their paintings for §0 and cry if they have no creativity points. It's difficult to see because they usually earn at least one creativity point before finishing a painting. I only noticed it because of a mod I use to slow down skill point progression.

[@FishFlop_The_CatSlap]

[@nerdychocobo]

I think I also recall sims 3 having a feature where sometimes paintings your sim sells have a chance of being placed into the galleries in town? but I might be misremembering

[@TheMya1988]

Overall, TS3 wins. The skill journal and opportunities alone push it over the edge. For me, TS2 would win outright, if painting was its own skill. However, some notable accolades go to TS1 for their randomness in creativity level for children (every child has different creativity levels). Not certain about TS4, but all the others, finished paintings steadily increase in value over time. TS2:FT makes painting values accelerate when in the zone and even more so when painting at the hobby lot. TS2:NL+ (NL added fury), allows enemies to sabotage paintings, which can increase/decrease values, depending on the saboteur's creativity level. TS2:OFB allows even low creativity paintings to be sold as if they are masterpieces, accordingly with increased creativity skill when sold (that includes any toddler's fingerpaintings). TS2:U's drafting table also works in similar fashion. Also, I just recently discovered this from another video covering paintings, that TS2 paintings vary with personality (combined with custom paintings, there are an infinite amount of paintings). Btw, TS4's mood paintings are just a reintroduction on a smaller scale to TS2's personality differences. Not certain with TS1, but TS2+ additional paintings are unlocked with certain DLC installed. While many might assume TS4 to reign supreme, especially with the emotion system, it merely takes elements from previous games, but all are watered down compared to its predecessors.

I'm not going to lie, as an illustrator myself who used to sell my own work at markets as my own boss without commision jobs or working for a company it does what it needs to by giving you a job title and yes, some days you don't get paid because you don't make a sale and gameplay wise unless they'revery specific with what you use that for it would be very hard for it to track every created thing your sims sold so leaving it open is a better solutionto having a buggy feature few will use.

As an artist, I'd say Sims 4 is the winner, but I can't say that with certainty. I love the variety of tools available to draw with and the emotions that go into the drawings. It makes sense as an artist. The only thing holding it back is that Sims 4 has a really shitty gameplay tied to the emotions system, so I don't really enjoy it that much. 😅

[@TheMya1988]

@@EclaireIV The emotion details in paintings in TS4 is a watered down version of TS2's personality variations in paintings. I could go even further to say the entire emotion system of TS4 is a watered down version of even TS1's personality system (which is bases upon just personality points, interests, skill levels and mood levels). TS2 goes the farthest regarding emotions, with added interests, hobbies (and enthusiasm levels), aspirations (along with benefits and levels), employment/education levels, chemistry/attraction (with enhanced star signs, likes/dislikes, one-sided relationship scores, aspirations, etc.), relationship statuses and levels (combined with fury and enemies), occults/hybrids, magic/potions, reputation, enhanced personality points (can evolve multidirectionally by encouragement, occult status, potions/magic [temporarily]), misc. benefits, perks and debuffs (i.e. from: vacations, business ownerships, university, etc.), plus the most in-depth memories system that ties all other systems together. While I do not consider myself a graphic artist (cannot even make stick figures look interesting), I am a writer, who uses words to paint pictures. As such, TS4 might be able to barely squeak ahead of TS1 for painting, it pales in comparison to TS2's personality-based painting system and TS3's trait-based painting system.

I wish kids in the sims 4 can paint instead of using the creativity table 😔

[@meikahidenori]

Technically they're still painting. Mixed media to be more precise. And to be honest, for alot of kids, that is how they do art at home - the only place they use an easle is in kinder. Not many schools at least here in Australia have easles until highschool. Hell I'm a watercolour Illustrator and I don't use one either! I paint on my lap or at a desk as an easle is cumbersome and takes up a lot of space and isn't as portable as I'd like.

Sims 4 gets always hate. Even in 50 years people will complain and shit talk it. I played it for the first time yesterday, I didn't feel it's worse than Sims 1 and 2. And the graphics looks much better.

I can't stand the Sims 4 stupid smiles all the time and painting with a brush only! Come on, even Sims 1 had a palette! And kids can't use the easel but small silly table, that normally should be use by toddlers :') This is as stupid as this whole cupcake machine... :'D I am biased because Sims 3 is my favourite, but as an artist myself, I DO enjoy the artistic traits and activities in this game.
