A Sim painting.

For the similar skill, see Creativity (skill).
For The Sims 2 hidden skill, see Secret skills#The Sims 2.


Painting is a skill in The Sims 3. The skill is augmented by the Artistic trait and Extra Creative lifetime reward.

Pictures drawn can be hung, sold or kept in inventory as in The Sims 2. Also note that pictures will appreciate over time. The original price and the appreciated price can be seen when the picture is in the inventory. In The Sims 3, personality traits, such as Artistic, affect how Sims' paintings look. Occasionally Sims will paint easter eggs such as recreations of famous paintings or the cover of the Maxis game Spore.

With The Sims 3: Ambitions expansion pack, players can register as a self-employed painter.

Sims get better at this skill by painting on the Easel found in the Hobbies and Skills part of the Entertainment department in buy mode, which costs §300. They can also take painting classes at the school building.

Examples of Paintings

See Carl's Sims 3 Guide - Pictures sims have painted for more.

Brilliant Paintings

Any painting created by a sim at level 6 or higher has a chance of being "Brilliant", but these paintings will almost always be marked "Brilliant". Paintings available at levels 9 and 10 will be marked "Brilliant" at nearly the same rate. A sim with a very high painting skill will paint Brilliant or better paintings more often than not.

Masterpieces

Any painting created by a sim at level 9 or 10 has a chance of being a Masterpiece, but these paintings will always be masterpieces. If you direct a sim to simply "Paint", any Masterpiece he produces will be one of the paintings in this category, or a stylized version of one of them. If you need a Masterpiece in a hurry, you can start paintings and scrap any that aren't in this group.

Trivia

  • The value of the painting will be doubled if the painter dies.
  • Painting Skill is only used in the Forensic branch of the Law Enforcement career.
  • Many paintings in The Sims 3 are allusions of real paintings.
