Resources by Painting

After your character has maximized the creativity skill, the fine art of painting can become a financial resource.  The more frequently paintings are created, the more simoleons that can be made. Usually the first "professional" paintings can be sold for about 435, but gradually, the paintings will start selling for upwards of 800+ per painting.

The average amount of time that it will take to complete a painting in one "session" is:

• Normal Speed 1 Painting = 8.1 minutes
• High Speed 2 Painting = 2.5 minutes
• Ultra Speed 3 Painting = 0.75 minutes

The painting will develop in five stages, from start to finish.

1. Blank Canvas		2. Center starts to form
3. Left portion fills in		4. Right portion fills in
5. Finalized painting

Characters that have the Fortune aspiration are most likely to receive the "Sell a Masterpiece" aspiration for 6,000 reward points. Youngsters can also earn simoleons by painting.

If there is an easel on a lot that the Sim travels to, the Sim can earn money by painting on that lot, selling the painting, and then return back home, without losing any of the time it took to paint on the trip. 

After painting a picture on the home lot, you can also take the painting and place it on a wall in the house by clicking on the character's Rewards > Backpack > grabbing the painting and placing it on a wall. Once it is on the wall, you can still sell the painting by clicking on the Barter Mode and then on the painting.

Castaway Stories is my Fav The Sims™ game

Yes, I'll go there. I'm a nerdy Sims game addict. But I think my all time favorite is The Castaway Stories, even with all its glitches and hiccups. Working around them is part of the challenge of playing this particular video/electronic game.

There are not very many sites that have the details that I like to have, so this blogger is devoted to revealing some of the usual and unusual ones for newbies and fellow addicts. The information will be relevant to either Shipwrecked and Single or The Neighborhood Wanmami Island, and/or both.
