Brilliant! I hope you develop it a bit more so that we won't have to pay for brushes and paints every time our sim paints. In fact, perhaps we can buy our own items in buy mode or just by clicking the easel. And I suppose you can edit the interaction names so they show how much it will cost to paint - e.g. Practice Painting... > Large (§228).

Thanks for your feedback, I was actually going to make it as you describe but that would require scripting to the actual Easel object(s), and I wanted to avoid this, and much scripting.... so I created a "listener" mod instead, it wont be developed further, unless it is to fix bugs add languages etc.

German Translation needed.
AND is it possible to make the paintings Cheapier if my sim sells them? (i asked that almost a year ago) i know a new mod then is needed but i bet more simmers would love that with the cheapier prices ;-)

They responded to you. You can tune it via the XML. They provided which one to edit also.

Yes, xml tuning can be done easily yourself, open with S3PE edit the xml with notepad, looks like I was playing with a rich family when I put this together ;P

I love the realism that this mod gives. But you mentioned in an earlier comment that there was a separate mod that allows the paintings to actually be profitable, even if only by very little? What is that mod called? Because the game is still selling the starter paintings for $2 or something ridiculous (set by TS3, not this mod!) until the sim has a level five or so in painting, and then, finally, they can start catching up. While I love spending the $150 or so on a starter painting with this mod, I hate that the game makes the starter paintings sell for only pocket change for half the sim's game. Is THAT what you are saying can be edited with S3PE (I wasn't understanding earlier comments)?

I like that this mod also works with Nraas Retuner so I can adjust the painting autonomy so that my sim doesn't autonomously paint when I have no money (by object > easel > [and then set actions you want to be autonomous to FALSE)].

Thanks again! :>

This mod charges your household when a dorm roommate at university starts a painting. I’m still gonna use it in my non-university saves though.
