Artist

The Artist career track is found in the University expansion pack for The Sims 2. It is only available to graduates of university, so it does not have a Teen/Elder track.

The Career reward for this career track is the Luminous Pro Antique Camera.

 * Canvas Stretcher
 * At the bottom rung of the art world, you make sure every piece of canvas sold at Dave's Art Emporium is stretched tight over its frame. But it's no dead end: you're allowed to watercolor on leftover canvases, and you're able to build up some charisma and make artsy friends while ringing up purchases for the clientele.

 * Mr. Big, who runs the "Lucille, Largest Llama in the World" roadside attraction, hires you to whittle souvenir llamas for visitors who make the trek out to see Lucille.
