Become a Proficient Painter
Become a proficient painter in The Sims 4 by leveling up the Painting skill. Painting is a fun activity that grants environment bonuses to your Sims, so you will need to keep painting to progress in the Aspiration. Also, you will need to acquire the Expressionistic Bonus Trait to paint emotional works of art. Choosing this trait increases the chance of completing a masterpiece.
You can also make use of the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. This will help you become a more skilled painter. It also gives your sim the Muser skill, which will increase his skill gain when he is Inspired. In addition to being able to paint, your sim can get Inspired easily by browsing art on a computer. Once you gain Inspiration, you can then paint beautiful paintings.
Cost of canvas
If you’re a budding artist, one of the first things you need to start earning cash is a canvas and easel. Unfortunately, your first paintings will almost always be money sinks. Paintings don’t reliably turn a profit until you reach Painting Level 4 – at which point you can start earning cash based on your hourly rate. It’s important to keep sunk costs in mind when determining how much to spend on canvas.
The first time you paint on canvas, it will cost you around $100. It won’t move beyond this for several levels. However, you can start making more money by selling your Masterpieces. The higher the value, the higher your painting will sell for. So if you’re really interested in making money, paint some masterpieces! You’ll be glad you did. However, the first time you paint on canvas, don’t forget that the price of the canvas will increase as your skill increases.
Value of small paintings
A painting’s appreciation value is dependent on the skill level of the artist and the size of the canvas. A painting’s appreciation value will increase by ninety percent if the artist dies and leaves a bequest for the Sims. Sims with the Perfectionist trait will receive an extra bonus if they create a masterpiece or a brilliant painting. But if you want to sell your Sims’ art, the base value of a small painting is lower than that of a medium one.
While small paintings are inexpensive to produce, they can earn more quickly than large paintings. Sims with higher painting skills can paint four or five small paintings each day and upgrade their homes in no time. When painting is a career, a Sim can purchase an Extra Creative lifetime reward for 25,000 Simoleons. By improving his or her painting skills, he or she can earn thousands of simoleons each day.
Effects of large paintings on mood of sims
The effects of large paintings on the Sims’ mood are largely determined by the size of the painting, not by its style. A large painting, on the other hand, takes up a lot of space and gives a corresponding +2 mood buff when it is enabled. The effects are cumulative, so the more paintings you have, the more money you can make. Large paintings are also more valuable, as they can sell for higher prices.
Using the Expressionistic trait will allow you to paint a painting with an associated emotion. The corresponding emotion will be evoked when your Sim looks at the painting. The Expressionistic trait will increase your Sim’s painting skill, allowing them to create flirty paintings even when they are feeling sad. Painting while inspired will increase your Sim’s painting skills, and this can lead to more money.
Effects of muser trait
A muser trait can be applied to your Sim’s job as part of his Creativity Aspirations. When triggered, the Muser trait grants a bonus to a Sim’s creative work and their rate of Skill gain. Sims with this trait tend to seek out artistic actions when they are alone. Another useful trait is Quick Learner, which boosts a Sim’s gain rate on all Skill types automatically, but does not affect their behavior.
This trait can be useful in painting because it can give your sims inspiration to create better quality works. When your sims have the muser trait, they can paint paintings that are romantic or flirty, which will increase the value of their paintings. However, it is important to remember that this trait is completely random, so you may end up spending more on your paintings than they are worth.
