Creativity, like many other skills, is not only used to advance in certain careers. In both ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', as Sims gain creativity points, their playing of [[musical instrument]]s will change and sound better. Starting with ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', Sims can also play instruments for tips. Sims with higher creativity will get tipped more.

In ''The Sims'', the amount a painting will sell for is linked to the painter's creativity skill. In ''The Sims 2'', increasing the creativity skill to 5 unlocks new interactions on the easel, and changes the basic interaction form "Practice Painting" to "Paint". When the creativity skill is high, a Sim told to paint often enough will eventually produce a masterpiece, defined as a painting which sells for more than §500, possibly satisfying a high-value [[Wants and Fears|want]]. Similarly, Sims who write novels will eventually write one which sells for enough to be a bestseller, which may also satisfy a high-value want.

Creativity, like many other skills, is used only to advance in certain careers. As Sims gain creativity points, their playing will change and sound better, and paintings will sell for higher prices. When the Creativity skill is maxed, a Sim told to "paint" will eventually produce a "masterpiece", which can be sold for much more than a non-masterpiece painting, possibly satisfying a [[want]].{{Vgversion|TS2}} Similarly, Sims who write a novel will eventually write a "bestseller", which will sell for a larger sum of simoleans. Also, Sims can play for tips with any instrument starting with the ''[[University]]'' [[expansion pack]]. Sims with higher Creativity will get tipped more.
 
In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', a new ''Paint custom painting'' feature was added. Sims with 5 or higher creativity skill can paint custom pictures from files in ''My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Paintings''directory folder. SimSims can crop, fit, or fill the picture to fix the preferred size asof the canvas. This feature is carried forward to newerlater Expansionexpansion Packspacks.
Also there is the chance that nearby Sims will cheer for the playing Sim. If the Sim is a bad player, they may find themselves booed.
