Painter - Hire agent?

Interesting. I know I do that for actors. I didn't know artists had the option. Is it a freelance artist or an employee artist?

Yes, this has been in the game from the start. It's part of the Painter career. You gain the ability to Hire Agent at career level 5. It's not the same as the PR perk.

This painting artist (regular Painter career I think) I hardly ever played, but her painting skills was at level 6. Maybe it is something that activates on a higher skill level?

I have everything turned on, including Fame, but this does not seem like the acting agent thing. Hm, I better explore it, maybe that Agent will give my painter specific "gigs" that pays off better...

Adding: Aha, @CelSims you were right - it must be related to a Fame perk, and has nothing to do with her career. The sim is actually a 3 star cleb. Hm...So confusing, I thought it was career related as it sorted under the career option on her phone lol. I never really learned about all those perks because i play rotationally and fame level can suddenly be reduced and perks gone, so I never relayed on them. Anyway the "Agent §150" option seems to be an PR Agent regarding her public image as a famous person. Dang!
