I have a sim that reached Lvl 10 in painting and I was hoping that her paintings would get better with the skill level. I always have them paint still-life or memory paintings.
The problem is, the so-called "leveled" paintings always look like abominations. I always take time to carefully choose the scenes I want to paint and end up with crud like this:



The low-level paintings always look 10x better!




Is there a fix for this, or a mod that replaces this horrible filter? I would love to know.

Looks like it's her pointillist era.

Try this one:

Thanks! I got Shimrod's mod this morning and I'll give it a try and see if it still works with my game.
