Emotional Painting

You have to be in the emotion to be able to paint that emotional painting, let’s say your sim is feeling flirty you’ll be able to create a flirty painting.

You can do Confident, Flirty, Sad and Focused -but only when you are in that emotion. Select for the painting specially from a blank easel. It will cost 100 simoleons.
Not sure if any other emotions qualify?

Playful is another type of emotional painting.

For some reason the mathematical diagram (from being Focused) doesn't count as one of the emotional paintings. Easiest emotion to get (if you don't go the potion route from the Rewards Store) is Confident -- if you do some of the mirror interactions you'll get Confident then you can choose that particular painting.

I'm guessing the mathematical diagram doesn't count for Focused because it's a drawing, not a painting. Other ways to get the emotions you need are to watch the Romance channel for flirty, and get a MySim trophy, watch the Comedy channel or take a bubble bath for Playful.

I agree Confident is the easiest one to get though from the mirror or even just from painting. My Sim will often get confident from painting and I'll take advantage to quickly paint three Confident ones afterward.

Another tip you might not know is you can make three paintings of the same emotion and it'll count. It doesn't need to be three unique emotions. So, take advantage when your Sim is in a certain mood and you'll be finished in no time. :)

My sim is in the Painting Career. And her aspiration is Painter Extraordinaire. She is in 1 of 4 and has to do 3 emotional paintings. Can't figure that out, how to do them. Thanks for any help.

You have your sim paint when they are in a specific mood, Focused painting in a focused mood a flirty painting in a flirty mood etc.

Have your sim brush their teeth and use a mirror to psych themselves up and they'll be confident and you can then paint a confident painting.

Being Focused lets you draw the mathematical diagram, which doesn't count as an emotional painting. It does build logic skill, though.
I usually get my Sims all hot 'n bothered and then have them paint a flirty painting.

Angry and Sad also gets you another emotional painting, but I find Angry to be the hardest to get simply due to the fact Sims don't get angry enough.

My sim died one time for being overly angry trying to get that painting :neutral:
