Tell me about your Art Collecting sim
I always meant to have an art collecting sim in my game, but way too often they end up collecting stuff like gems or posters. Do you have any art collector in your game? Paintings might be the firs...

I don't have a true art collecting singular sim but a few of my sims do collect the posters but one collects paintings from romance festival. If there's a painting I haven't seen in the game before that's being sold at the romance festival I have one Sim in particular who buys those. She's also a serial romantic and this is her main motivation for collecting strictly from that festival. I then forget to hang them and she more often gifts these paintings to her various partners. So there's no rhyme or reason or artist theme... they're more sentimental in nature as a collection.
I think because I rarely have walls up I've never really considered an art collecting sim. I also dislike huge homes but I do like this idea of perhaps trying to collect a small theme of paintings
Oh, are there unique paintings available at the romance festival? I hardly ever visited that festival, but if it offer unique items I'll definitely pay it a visit! :)"crocobaura;c-18102005" wrote:
I don't have any art collector sim. When I decorate their houses they usually get the standard BB catalogue paintings on their walls. I do have quite a number of painting selling stands in my game and my sims tend to buy some paintings they come across and I like. I used to have an art peddling sim that lived in the arts center a few days and collected all the paintings from there and then sold them on a sales table. It was just quick money not really an habitual occupation. I tried to save some of my painter sims masterpieces but they end up selling them because they need the money. They also don't have enough space to display them.
That's a good idea adding more painting selling stands - do they work on owned community lots too, or only on certain lot categories? One of my sims runs a gallery and a sales stand might make sense at the entrance.
They work on both owned and unowned community lots. I like to use them on community spaces and art gallery as the sims display their art autonomously and I like the surprise and not knowing what I am going to find as it makes it more like a real shopping experience.
