@Heddelviven Could you test inspired ? That works for me. Confident/Flirty doesn't give me an option either.

EDIT:

Hm, there is a confident/flirty painting but it doesn't looks different to me. Didn't it used to have a bar like all the inspired paintings ?

Hi,
Judging from your screenshot, it looks like your sim has the 'Expressionistic Reward Trait', which unlocks all emotional paintings.
What I mean is that a sim that hasn't this reward trait, and is in a certain mood, does not have the option to paint the corresponding painting.

Inspired does work. All options get the inspired (light blue) colour.

@Heddelviven I need to check but if I have that trait but this is a fairly new Sim. I just cheated painting to 10

Should it show with the bar ?

I'll check once I'm done checking other people's saves :D

EDIT

Suddenly I do see the option to paint a confident painting for my confident sim.
But I do think something has changed.
Previously there was this blue color on the option, and now this has gone.

@Heddelviven yeah, I thought there was a blue/pink color. Was there only one type of confident/flirty painting ?

I tested for confident, flirty, playful, sad and angry.
In all cases the option was there but there was no color marking present.
Also I noticed that if your sim hasn't got enough simoleons, the option to make a painting can still be clicked but then nothing happens.
When hoovering over the option, it does say that there a not enough simoleons but this text is shown three times.
I do think that I remember that prevously the option was greyed out, but I am not sure.

I also tested through cheats whether painting level 10 or the expressionistic reward trait unlocks all emotional paintings regardless of mood.
The answer is: both do independently.
Which makes the expressionistic reward trait obsolete in my view. You can't receive the expressionistic trait without reaching level 10 after all.

@Heddelviven Mine was in the flirty mood when the flirty showed up and confident when confident showed up but I didn't click on more to see if the others were present as well.
