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 think collecting them as investments would work with TS4, unless you keep them in storage (household inventory, storage chest/box, or sim inventory), due to the degradation in value in Live Mode.
That said, I've had a wealthy vampire author who decorates his estate with his and his wife's paintings (it's a side-hobby of his). She, as well, is not only an artist, but a catburglar who steals statues, figures, and paintings from the homes of others in order to satisfy her kleptomania (which I suppose does involve a lot of traveling). In order to make use of her..."urges", she puts them in a privately-owned museum where others can visit (effectively hiding her collection in plain sight). Before putting them in public, however, she'll repaint the objects (change the swatch) if possible, just in case the owners happen to be some of her patrons. To add to the winding road that is my story here, she's also a Supreme Court judge (having graduated from law school and excelled in her job as a lawyer).
I could continue her story, if you're interested in any part I haven't mentioned.
