A little confused with paintings..
Can I download more than 1 default replacement set for paintings?

And can someone explain to me how I can do this?

Quote:
I realize this replaces the default random pictures that the sims paint but I found it easier to get around the ugly paintings by doing this: When creativity is high enough, an option appears to paint "custom" paintings and I've just been replacing the jpeg pictures in the "paintings" file folder with whatever I want my sims to paint and it seems to work fine so long as they are close to the dimensions....
A little easier than messing around with SimPE as it's all gobbleygook to me Also I have been putting as many or as few pictures in the "paintings" folder as I want, there appears to be no limit of 12 ..... I put the jpeg files here:
Documents>Ea Games>Sims2>Paintings


Do I need an expansion pack to have that folder show up? coz I can't find it right now.. (I have Base, Uni, NL, and OFB)

And if it can work for me, what are the dimensions/size for the jpeg files?

Sorry for asking alot of questions. And thank you for your time.

1. You can only have 1 set of default replacement paintings. It's like that for all default replacements - 1 set of any replacements. You can certainly download more than 1 set but you can only USE one.

2. For your sim to have the custom painting option I think you need the Pets expansion pack. Not sure if that option came with any of the newer EPs as I have been buying them all as they come out.

Yes, it was available with Seasons as well as Pets, so I assume anything after Pets will probably work.
