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. IfUntil athe Sim has five points of Creativity skill, the only option is "Practice Painting". For Sims with at least five points of Creativity skill, hethis orbecomes ~~she~~"Paint", ~~can~~and ~~paint~~the ability to a still life or portrait is unlocked. InFor both ~~cases~~of those actions, the player will shown a red frame with the same dimensions as the easel. This can be used to select the view that will be painted. For a still life, nothing more needs to be done; the Sim will start painting, and can stop and continue as with any other painting. However, if the player chooses to have the Sim paint a portrait, the Sim to be painted will come to stand beside the easel. The Sim cannot be posed, and the player will need to use the red frame to line up the 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]]. Line 45: {{Info\|Note \|Players should note that [[Custom content\|custom]] easels may not have been updated to allow custom paintings or provide hobby enthusiasm. }}
