How do I make sims paint each other?

[Jasumi]

I know this is a very mundane question, but I have never had sims paint portraits of each other before. How do I go about initiating this interaction?

They're creativity has to be up to a certain number. I honestly can't remember what it is.

I only have up to Open For Business. So, with the other EP's, it might be different.

I think you have to have a creativity of 5; it's not that great by the way.  All you do is basically the same things as a still image, but instead your subject has to stand for no real reason in front of the easel.  But you could always just cancel the subjects action queve, and everything will still work.  And the higher your creativity level, the better the quality.

and instead of painting landscapes, you can make sims do something like yoga. It's a bit tricky if you're trying for a specific pose but it can be done.

You have the subject sim start yoga poses and then choose still life and when the subject reaches the pose you want you snap a shot of it and let the painter finish the painting. The subject then can go about their business. I have several portraits that were taken like that, since I don't always like the portrait poses, and they have to pose for a long time until the painting is finished.
I have EPs until Seasons (no Pets):angel:
Hope it helps,
