Why can't we have nice frames for paintings?

Like the title says, we have all these great frames for photographs, why can't we have the same for the paintings the sims do.  I absolutely hate putting the same ole black frame on my sims' masterpieces...it deserves better!  Who's with me?😀

    YES! However, there are cute ways to make your own frames. Requires a lot of patience and creativity, but I have seen it done with pictures already in the game. Pick a cute framed photo you like and hang on the wall. Then delete the wall and place the painting over that picture, but have it fit in the frame. Hopefully that makes sense. I've seen tik toks and youtube shorts of users making them this way.

    Yeah I wish we could have old fancy frames options for photos and paintings
    cause the simple frame just looks off in my old mansion builds
    been asking for this for years now

    theres so many good frames for art in packs and base game too that they could use as frames for photos and paintings

      I agree!  Most of the time I leave any frame off, especially when the painting is in soft pastels, then I'm supposed to put this ugly, nondescriptive frame on it...hardly think so.🙄

    I think the canvases, especially the modern style paintings look better without any frame. But It would be nice to have some optional frames for more traditional looking paintings.

      I don't always use the ugly frame, I will leave it off also.  Some paintings look better when there is no frame.  I would even welcome one style that is different colors, like the photos have.

    I would love some different styles and something with more texture, but I don't want to have to use cc. So, yes, I'm with you!

      I understand.  I don't think there are any cc frames out there now.  I used to have a set, I forgot by who, but they were beautiful.  As usual, if modders can make them, why can't EA make them.

    I hope in the future that we would get an update for our photo and painting frames that has more of a wood grain in different colours and also natural wood colours. I use them quite a lot and would love more variety. I hardly use paintings because of the ugly frame, so new ones would definitely be a bonus 😁

    Thanks for all the backup!

    With Sims 5 on the horizon, I've given up on ever getting them in Sims 4 now.  Hopefully the Sims 5 will have decent looking frames.😁
