Painting (The Sims 4)

Painting is a skill in The Sims 4. This skill can be increased by painting on easels, drawing on placemats at restaurants, or spraypainting/airbrushing street murals. Painting skill can only be developed by teen and older Sims. Reaching Painting Level 10 is the requirement of the Refined Palette Achievement.

Different emotional states enable paintings to be created that have auras corresponding to the emotional state the Sim was in who painted it. The player can enable the emotional effect or disable the emotional effect.

Emotional states that affect painting:
 * Confident: Viewing a confident painting or being in the same room with one, can cause a Sim to become confident.
 * Flirty: Viewing a flirty painting will cause a Sim to become flirty. Being in the same room with a flirty painting increases the odds that a Sim will become flirty.
 * Angry
 * Sad
 * Playful
 * Inspired: Painting while inspired causes Sims to gain painting skill faster and earn more money from their paintings.
