Line 34:
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 an unfinished painting. (Sims will not scrap paintings autonomously.) The player can click on a finished painting to sell it, or use the hand tool in [[Buy mode]] to remove it from the easel and place it on a wall. The Sim who painted the painting does not have to be the one to sell it. Completing a painting builds the hidden [[Secret skills#The Sims 2|painting skill]], which increases the sale price of future paintings by that Sim.
 
If a Sim has at least five points of Creativity skill, he or she can paint a still life or portrait.

The Sim painting the portrait will only be able to work on it while the subject is standing next to the easel.
 
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 of a child's paintings will depend on his or her skill level, just as with adults.
