Is there a way to stop painting looping?

I always thought the paintings were random, because you can get the same painting multiple times in a row. You're probably going to have to just keep trying.

The following is theory and conjecture, I have nothing to back it up other than poor anecdotal evidence

You might want to try going to the park in Willow creek, or otherwise near the Goths. My current house is in Brindleton Bay, and I've had a lot of repeats of the various cat and dog images. It's either because of where I'm painting/living, or else because my sim family has pets - like constantly.

Yeah, I figure a good portion of what paintings we'll get are randomized, so getting repeat offenders is so easy to happen. Yeah I don't think there's a direct way I can influence him to paint the grey girl ;u;

I think you have a decent theory. I gotten a sim to paint the Grey Girl before but I don't know how. And it's been so annoying I can't get that painting now since I gotten it before it a previous game I had lost due to my computer breaking down for a while several months ago. And probably some traveling would help him think more about other things to paint than to repeat himself so much. I swear it's like he can't remember "Oh hey I'm painting this painting again" whenever I notice what he's painting. Ugh, I just let him paint it all the way before getting rid of it or hanging it. Cause my theory is if I stop him mid-painting to scrap it, he'll soon try to paint the same darn paintings again. Yet that theory is bad, since I allow him to paint all them out before getting rid of them or hanging them.

Every time I play I pray he'll paint the Grey Girl, and he still denies me. :neutral: I don't know what his problem is.

Thanks for the comment! :smiley: Your idea is great and always worth a try!
