I have a question which 1.) you may not be able to answer, and 2.) you may think me off my rocker, but hear me out.

Will this mod still properly update the hidden painting skill?

Okay, so I know SimPE shows no hidden painting skills, but I'm convinced there is one.  Just like there is a hidden workout skill of some sort, too.  I have tested this with several Sims.  I'll take a Sim who has maximized his creativity skill via the piano and have him start painting.  (Prior to maximization, he never touched a canvass.)  The result is always the same:  the first painting sells for a low amount (around $50), and then each successive painting sells for more.  (Remember:  He started out with his creativity already maximized.)

Off-topic, but I found the same thing is true working out on the obstacle course.  My Sim had already maximized his body skill and was in perfect condition when he decided to join the military (because of a to a stupid lifetime want).  On the first few times through the course, he was like a klutz, akin to what you see when a Sim of low body skill attempts it.

(Of course, I suppose an alternative theory is that these are just counts stored within the object itself.  First painting = $50, second = $100, third = $150, etc.; and first run-through on obstacle course = klutz, second = less klutzy, etc.)


Edit:  Oh, and while we are on the subject, will the faster painting time translate accordingly to the creativity skill increase time?

With the paintings there is a random chance they wont be worth as much & this mod doesn't change that.

Edit: Oh, and while we are on the subject, will the faster painting time translate accordingly to the creativity skill increase time?

Yes because the creativity skill is used to caculate how long it takes to finish a painting.

Awesome!

Excellent mod

Another excellent, much needed mod from the Mastah! Thanks.

[Oblivia]

Thank you. This is exactly what I need for the current neighborhood I'm playing.  Every Sim in the neighborhood has a portrait painted for every stage of their life.

You did this so quickly, you're incredible. Thanks so much for this.

No caddle prod to poke them?

Will this conflict with the "Turbo Easel"?

I'm not sure, I have never heard of that mod.

Thanx again

Any chance this can be updated to Pets EP? I had a similar mod but the new option of being able to do custom paintings was not available.

My bad, this does work!  Sorry, Squinge.
