Hi!!! I'm a huge Simmer and artist and I would love to combine my passions but I don't know what copyright laws are regarding selling art. I'm interested in creating digital portraits, drawn by myself, of clients as their Sim self. So taking a client, turning them into a Sim and then creating custom art work based on that image but not selling the actual in game renderings. Can I do anything with plumbobs, quotes in Simlish? Do I give credit anywhere? Who can I ask for correct info?
I think EA/Maxis in general allow quite a lot of hints to the game. But if say the plumbob became a major part of your portraits, this might be different as the green thing is very much the branding of the game. So, I'd say using it once would be okay, but always including with your business it might be something different. I'm not a lawyer though, so id in your shoes, I'd contact EA support directly. It's better getting it from them than from other simmers.
