Re: [NEEDS INPUT] [DU] University Exploit- Selling Roommates' Paintings

Yep. The money is add to the account.

Could you please make one thread per issue.

Just leave this one for one and make a new one for the other

Thanks

EDIT: Which festival can you do that ? I currently have  a flea market but there's no paintings on that thingy that I could sell. I would need to stock it first.

Oh sorry. The thing is with the painting it is just the festival grounds. No events have to take place. The art grounds/plaza whatever has easels that sims frequently use. I'm able to sell those painting once they are done. I assume I can do this on any grounds that spawn easels.

I'll test this later

@HoshinoKabi Is your Sim a painter ?

Adding to this because I've seen it in my game, too. The paintings the OP is referring to are not the ones that appear on that board you can start street sales with. I've had my Sims tend those and start sales but if the paintings don't belong to them they receive no money. The paintings you can sell are the ones that random Sims paint and leave on regular easels that spawn at festivals or in the Art District. You Sim can sell any paintings left behind and receive money for them. Like the OP said, probably not a bug but just an oversight I suppose. My poor apartment Sim appreciates the extra money, especially since I have a few max level painters around town that come by and leave masterpieces behind lol... Though it does feel exploitative so I try not to do it unless my Sim really needs the money. 

I wasn't able to duplicate it. My Sim wasn't able to sell those, just scratch.

Was your Sim a painter ?

My Sim is indeed a painter, but her brother who isn't can still sell them. 

Willing to share your save game ?

If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves and drop the file to this Mediafire-Link to upload.

Tagging @HoshinoKabi and @ShinoTypeError for saves

Hey Crin, sorry I still haven't got that save to you, been having some PC issues this last week. However, before said PC issues came up, I did notice that my Sims cannot actually sell the paintings at the festivals (I may have been mistaken when I thought this was possible, not sure why but the option isn't there anymore regardless). I CAN however sell the paintings painted by Sims on those easels in the Arts Quarter, but only with Sims that actually live in that district. I tested this a week or so ago by having one of my Sims who lives in Willow Creek visit the Arts Quarter - there were completed paintings on the easels but that Sim could do nothing but scrap them. 

Sims that live in the Arts Quarter can sell any paintings left behind on those easels there, and only if they are on their home lot at the time (so if they are on a neighbor's lot for example the option isn't there). It seems as though the game sees the outside area as an extension of their lot so they are allowed to sell the paintings. 

To reproduce: Create a sim and move them into an apartment in the Art district. Wait for NPC Sims to come by and paint something. As long as they actually finish the painting, your Sim should be able to go down there and sell the paintings. 

I was able to replicate this with the new info and have added.

Not sure if it's a CL issue and only happening at the SM worlds or also in other worlds.
