Create A Canvas (CAC). An Idea for The Sims 5's Artistic Sims.

Hello again, everyone.
As time continues forward, many players have been quite eager and creating speculations for The Sims 5.
I personally do hope that the upcoming iteration of the franchise prioritizes customization and creativity as well as depth and personality.

So here's the idea.
What if we, the player, can create our very own paintings through our sims?
Of course; I'm not expecting Adobe Photoshop or Krita quality customization, but what if we can select the option to paint for our sims with just a Color Wheel, A few Paintbrush Selections, A Paintbrush Size Adjuster as well as an Opacity Adjuster?
As your Sim builds up their Painting Skill, more tools and options become available. Plus, you can share your very own paintings in The Sims Community's Gallery.
I call this system the Create A Canvas system (or CAC for short)!

So what are your thoughts on this idea? Will it work? What will you be painting for your Sims if this idea manages to become a feature?

Thank you for reading and responding to this discussion.

  • That could be interesting. Personally, I don’t know if I would actually use this tool so much even though I like painting irl. It does sound more in-depth than we’ve ever seen in The Sims before though. It just sounds like idk get frustrated with it and bored and would probably not want to use it often. However, if it’s an additional method ON TOP of the Sims themselves painting, sure why not.

    Another idea could be if you could select options for your Sims to use while they paint. So you can select what kind of painting they make. What kind of paint they use. What colors they use. Is it a landscape or a portrait or a still life. Is it with oil or watercolor. Do they use mostly cool colors or warm colors. This would require a some sort of flexible internal tool to generate different creations but it would allow you to customize your creative Sim’s style rather than just at the mercy of near random selection like it is now and has been in the past.

    Also I would love to see an expansion on traditional drawing with charcoal and vine, mixed media creations, even just pencil drawings in a sketchbook. Pottery/sculpture, metalworking, jewelry making, sewing/weaving, etc. I would like to see more art (with more depth) in the Base game.
