Skill Levels
Sims can be anywhere from painting level zero to ten. Paintings come in levels zero to ten, plus two bonus levels of Brilliant or Masterpiece.
| Level | Abilities |
|---|---|
| 0 | "Practice Painting" interaction with easel; can select small, medium, or large canvas* |
| 1 | |
| 2 | |
| 3 | |
| 4 | "Practice Painting" interaction changes to "Paint" |
| 5 | Still Life painting unlocked; paintings not sold now appreciate in value; highest level child-Sims can achieve |
| 6 | Can paint Brilliant paintings; more still life styles unlocked (depending on traits) |
| 7 | Portrait painting unlocked |
| 8 | Can "Memorize Scene" with cell phone to later "Paint from Memory" |
| 9 | Can paint Masterpieces; "Somber" style unlocked for still lifes |
| 10 |
Note: The Prima Guide states that Sims with no painting skill (0) will "Dabble" with the easel and be unable to select a canvas size; this has not been observed by players surveyed thus far. The interaction is noted in the easel parameters, however.
Brilliant & Masterpiece
At level six Sims will be able to randomly paint a Brilliant paintings; level nine for Masterpiece paintings.
There are two ways for a painting to receive one of these labels: (1) a Sim paints above their level--for example, a Sim with a painting skill of six paints a level nine painting; (2) in addition, the game also has nine paintings exclusive to the Brilliant category, and 10 paintings exclusive to the Masterpiece category.
