There are 2 different capabilities, dependent on whether you have Pets or newer EPs or not.
So far as the 'replace snapshot.bmp' method goes, be aware that merely changing the extension of your own file is not ever going to work. It MUST be opened in a graphics editor - my own favorite for quick and uncomplicated editing chores is Irfanview:

and once opened in your graphics editor, edited, cropped, or resized to your needs and then either Save or Save As a .bmp file.

just to clarify this a bit, i was refering to paiting on the easel and when the game is paused you minimize the game and use one of your own pictures and then the sim paints it.

I just download pictures I like from the web, open them up in Paintshop pro and crop and resize them (sharpening them if needed) to somewhere around 160 x 235 pixels and save as a jpg into the paintings folder in the My Docs/EA/Sims2 folder. I have dozens to choose from. My sims can paint a painting to match any decor.
DraculaBiscuits:
I understand the directions and all its just for some reason i can never get it to work. The sims keep painting the old snapshot i took and not the new painting/ art i edited and saved for them to do instead.

After you copy your jpeg into the paintings folder, use paint custom painting, not paint still life. Then a menu of paintings will crop up and your pics should be among them. If all you see is a blank square for your picture, you may need to crop it. That has been my experience. Remember - custom painting, not still life.
