I tried this before, so going to try to add a picture of a painting my sim painted. I have never had any other sim paint like this lady. I know traits play a role in what a sim paints, but I have had others with the almost the same trait and the extra creative skill also, so I am going to try to post this pic.

Yay, I guess it worked. Would like to see other people's also. This is great.

Wow! That is a fabulous painting! I'd noticed that different Sims have different styles of painting, but I've never been able to pin down the reasons for it. I think I've got a couple of good ones from my Legacy family that I'll try to post.

ahh you just got me going. I never even thought of traits mattering for what comes out.

Here is another pic, funny thing, this one looks just like my grandaughter, thought I was seeing things when I saw this pic.

Out of 30 paintings, she only painted one painting twice, funny how you miss certain sims. Anybody else like that, I hope so, lol

I don't know where are I read it but traits do affect their painting. Family Sims & Childish paint kid friendly prints and my geniuses always paint very geometric paintings.

This is one of my personal favorites that Chastity painted a long time ago. She has artistic trait plus extra-creativity LTR.

Here is a few more pics, maybe I should stop now........lol

Nice. I've gotta play some painters.

Wow, I can't wait til my painter starts painting stuff like that!

Wow, I haven't seen my Sims paint some of those pics! They are amazing.

I guess I should try mixing up my traits more!

Happy Simming!

Cute granddaughter you have there saltypaws.

The ninjas are really nice

Pam · « **Reply #12 on:** October 21, 2009, 02:46:03 PM »

Here's one that my Sim Ozzy Osbourne painted.

And another.

Looks really nice up close.
The one of the valley looks like something I would hang on my wall at home.

Those look fantastic Pam!

Painting is one of the things I was waiting for in sims 3, as soon as I had heard that all sims paint differently according to the traits they have. This aspect of the game has certainly delivered.

PJSim · « **Reply #15 on:** October 22, 2009, 02:34:16 PM »

They do paint in different styles, lookit:

Here's one that my Sim Ozzy Osbourne painted.

And here's mine:

Also I think I can guess which game my sim is playing on the computer:

Spore!

bshag · « **Reply #16 on:** October 22, 2009, 06:09:58 PM »

This is one I have never seen before...just love this trait!

Pam · « **Reply #17 on:** October 22, 2009, 07:13:53 PM »

I thought maybe it was a difference in skill level rather than a difference in style. Like, the more blurry one is a lower skill level?

PJSim · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2009, 01:29:44 AM »

That could be part of it but not all of it I'm sure.

I've just played two painting sims in the last few days and one made most of her paintings kind of blurry, the other one didn't at all. That ^ blurry one that is like yours was made at lvl 10.

She's like an impressionist see?

That's really very interesting. Thanks for sharing your pictures! Now I wonder how much the traits really do influence it and which ones make blurry paintings. What are the traits of your two painters?

PJSim · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2009, 02:20:27 AM »

The one who made the blurry paintings was the one I started the Centurian challenge with, she had these traits:
Artistic, Ambitious, Handy, Loner and Over Emotional

Then that game became buggy and I restarted with a different sim:
Loner, Over Emotional, Perfectionist, Bookworm, Artistic.
She hasn't made quite as many pictures as the first one yet but she did just max the skill and none of them have been blurry. Here are some:

This second sim is also a writer and she wrote one childrens book. I wonder if that explains the painting on the left.

And the first one often made abstract geometric patterns, the second hasn't done that at all, could that be the handy trait? The perfectionist sim made much better pictures from the start, the first sim started out making stick figures and stuff like kids do in kindergarten.

I think the traits matter a lot and maybe also the activities they do and the places they go. Maybe your sims with boyfriends make romantic pictures?
I want to do more painters, this is interesting.

bshag · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2009, 11:03:21 AM »

I think I read somewhere that certain traits produce certain types of pictures, ie artistic trait will sometimes paint pics that are blurry, neurotic trait produces neon type pics, etc. I just love it that these lil pixel ppl can produce really pretty pictures that are all so different from each other.

Pam · « **Reply #22 on:** October 24, 2009, 01:49:45 PM »

My Sim Ozzy Osbourne is painting a lot right now. I'm seeing him paint the same picture in different styles. One was clear, then next time it was blurry. He's done this several times now. Here's a $3,500 masterpiece he painted and I have no idea what it is.

Pam · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:46:26 PM »

Another nice one that I haven't seen before. Please note the awesome diamond collection in the foreground.

Copied from MATY:
No Trait - If your sim has no other traits, he will always paint the basic version of the painting.
Artistic - Gives a water-color effect to the painting, though with highlighted border effects on the object of the painting.
Can't Stand Art - Darkens the painting with higher contrast and heavier, thicker brush strokes.
Computer Whiz - Gives the painting a square-tiled effect, obliterating any detail.
Evil - Tints the picture heavily towards red, most details are left intact.
Grumpy - Tints the picture heavily towards blue, most details are left intact.
Genius - Tiles the picture into small white-bordered hexagons/pentagons.
Insane - Obliterates detail, makes colors more flat and contrasting, shapes become jagged.
Neurotic - Turns the painting into a bright neon mess.
Virtuoso - Adds a white flair effect to the painting, most details are left intact.
