If your Sim is an aspiring Painter Extraordinaire, they’re required to make 10 excellent paintings to show off their skills and unlock the next aspiration stage.
However, completing 10 excellent paintings is quite difficult.
If you’re stuck, follow the tips below to unleash your Sim’s creativity.
How do you make excellent paintings in The Sims 4?
To make excellent paintings in The Sims 4, keep painting until your Sim reaches Level 10 of the Painting skill. Make sure to paint while Inspired. The Inspired moodlet increases the chances of completing excellent paintings.
Your Sim will naturally crank out high-quality paintings as they level up their Painting skill.
Level 8 painters can crank out excellent paintings consistently provided that they’re in the right mood.
The Perfectionist trait can help with this task. The only downside is that perfectionist Sims usually take a bit longer to complete their paintings.
Adding the Natural Light and Home Studio traits to your lot will help you level up your Sim’s painting skills faster.
As your Sim becomes more skilled at painting, the quality of their paintings will increase rapidly.
Keep in mind that not every painting you make will be an excellent painting, even at a higher skill level.
You just have to keep painting and eventually, you’ll have your 10 Excellent Paintings.
How do you guarantee excellent paintings in The Sims 4?
Emotion, landscape, and classic paintings tend to come out better. The odds of completing excellent paintings are higher when making these types of paintings.
Make sure to select a painting that your Sim can paint at high quality. At each level up, you get notifications about the types of paintings your Sim can paint at higher quality.
You can also stick with classic painting until your Sim reaches Level 8 of the Painting skills as these can be painted at high quality earlier in your game.
On a side note, large classic paintings and abstract paintings bring in the most money. These are the highest-paying paintings in The Sims 4.
Keep on painting and your Sim will be able to paint amazing masterpieces and sell them in no time.
By the way, Sims with the Perfectionist trait will sometimes scrape their paintings. If it’s not a flawless masterpiece, it gets tossed.
Happy Simming!
