Levels of painting skill
If you’re looking for a new career, painting can be a great option. As you’ll see, you can create a variety of paintings and sell them for a high sum of money. As you improve your painting skill, your Sim will be able to create much better paintings. The painting skill also depends on your Sim’s mood, which may affect your choice of painting style. The higher your painting skill, the more likely it is that your Sim will produce a masterpiece!
You can also read books about painting at the library or bookstore. Reading about painting will open up books for the next level, which will increase your possibilities as a painter. You can also enroll your Sim in a painting class held at a school for 400 simoleons. When your Sim completes this class, they will gain one painting skill level. You can also purchase eisles for your Sim to paint.
Marketable trait boost
If you’ve ever wanted to make a living from your Sim’s creativity, you should consider gaining the Marketable trait. This trait increases the value of your paintings up to three times! The good news is that you can get it with Satisfaction points. Paintings will also earn you more money if your Sim has the Creative Visionary reward trait. Painting masterpieces is a fun way to earn money in Sims 4, but it takes dedication and patience to produce the masterpieces you want to sell.
You can earn a bonus when you paint using a variety of tools. You can also upgrade your Sim’s handiness by earning a skill called the Digital Artist. This skill increases the Sim’s creativity, and it’s the perfect complement to the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. The Dance Machine trait is another good idea, since it gives you bonus reward points when performing art-related tasks. This trait is available in the Get Together Expansion Pack. It’s also faster than sleeping and replenishes your Sim’s energy quicker.
Value of paintings
The value of paintings in Sims 4 depends on several factors. The skill level multiplied by the size of the canvas increases the value of the painting. It doubles when the artist dies. A brilliant painting is worth 200% more than an average one. The more paintings an artist creates, the higher the value. However, this is not always the case. If the Sim has the Perfectionist trait, he can earn a bonus for every masterpiece or brilliant painting he creates.
To sell paintings in Sims 4, you must first have a collector. If you want to sell your paintings, you can transfer them to a collector Sim or sell them in an art gallery. Paintings are more valuable than other items, so the higher the price, the better. However, you must remember that you will have to restock your inventory after selling. Similarly, you should consider selling your artwork to an art gallery as it will be more lucrative.
Ways to make money with painting skill
Using your Sim’s painting skills to create masterpieces will increase your income. If you use the Marketable trait, you can increase the value of your paintings by three times. In addition, you can buy the Creative Visionary reward trait and increase the amount of satisfaction points you can earn when you create masterpieces. You’ll often find Sims with this trait painting large classic paintings and abstract masterpieces, which sell for higher prices.
Painting is one of the most lucrative ways to earn money in The Sims 4. By constantly improving your painting skill, you can make hundreds or even thousands of Simoleons from your artwork. The most lucrative types of paintings are abstract and large. Painting masterpieces will earn you anywhere from thirteen to fifteen thousand Simoleons. You can even sell them off of your easel, but you won’t earn as much as selling them off a portable gallery.
Which branch is better?
Choosing the Patron of the Arts or the Master of the Real branch of the art tree depends on your sim’s skills. If your sim has charisma and has a high number of random moodlets, choosing the former will be easier. If you want to paint purely in The Sims 4, however, the second branch will be a better choice. Using this skill will increase your sim’s Inspiration. In order to increase your Inspiration, you must visit the Museum and admire at least 10 paintings.
The Painter Career is one of the easiest careers to unlock in The Sims 4. This branch has the same daily tasks and emotion as other occupations. Once your Sim reaches level seven, they can start selling their paintings to collectors or Art Galleries for higher prices. As a painter, you will get paid more when you sell your paintings, so the reward is worth it. In addition to being a great source of income, the Painter branch also has a favored mood.
