Line 37:
<blockquote>''All Sims love to paint, and with an Independent Expressions easel, painting is a snap. This "blank canvas" is sturdy enough for use indoors or out, and blank enough to allow even the most independent creativity to blossom and grow.''</blockquote>
In ''The Sims 2'', the easel is called the '''Independent Expressions Inc. Easel'''. It costs §100 more than its counterpart in ''The Sims'', but is considerably improved. With the Independent Expressions Easel, only the Sim who started a painting can continue it, though any Sim can scrap a painting. (Sims will not scrap paintings autonomously.) If a Sim has at least five points of Creativity skill, he or she can paint a still life or portrait. The ''[[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets]] [[expansion pack]] added the ability for Sims with at least five points of Creativity skill to paint custom paintings from images on the player's computer, as long as they have the same dimensions as the easel's canvas. If ''[[FreeTime]]'' is installed, the easel also builds [[enthusiasm]] for the [[Arts and Crafts]] [[hobby]].
Since children, and even [[toddler]]s, can gain Creativity skill in ''The Sims 2'', the quality - and sale price - of a child's paintings will depend on his or her skill level, just as with adults.
An easel with a partially-finished painting can be placed in a Sim's [[inventory]]. The painting can be finished at a later time. However, if the Sim who has the easel in inventory moves to a different lot, the easel will "forget" who started the painting, and the painting will have to be scrapped.
