Default Life Stories Easel Paintings
Sims2 and the other Sims Stories have a painting folder where we can add more choices for the easel paintings. Is it possible to add a Paintings folder to Life Stories? I'm so tired of the same old pictures, mainly adults painting childish ones. Since I limit electronics and other distracting items, Sims will autonomously paint quite a bit. This is very useful for autonomous skill building, earning money and fulfilling Earn Money and Masterpiece wants. Not to mention the fact an idle sim can pretty much keep out of trouble. Forgot to mention that painting is an inexpensive entertainment.

All I can say is go ahead and try it.

Guess that means it hasn't been tried. I'll go test it now and report back.

I put a folder in with pictures but the option doesn't show on easel. Bleh!

I believe Life Stories has features from the EPs all the way up to OFB - whereas Pets includes the coding and such for painting a default picture. I dunno if it's available in Pet Stories, either.

I have used it in Pet Stories, not sure of Castaways but since I got Castaways from Origin, that's a loss. Isn't that feature in base game for Sims2? There's not a heck of a lot to entertain Sims in LS as it is. Community lots options are basically bowling, pool, darts and pinball for fun stuff. The option for more paintings would have been nice.

In TS2 series, custom paintings were introduced with Pets.

Castaway Stories has the option to select custom paintings. As someone above said, LS includes stuff mostly up to OFB from TS2, CS up to BV, and PS... I guess somewhere in between.
