Easels are objects in The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3. They build Fun, and allow Sims to make money by selling their paintings. In The Sims and The Sims 2, painting at an easel builds the Creativity skill, and in The Sims 3, it builds the painting skill.
The Sims
|
All Sims love to paint, especially those who wish to improve their creativity. Unleash the right side of the brain with this lightweight, folding easel. Made of oiled beechwood, this portable model can be deployed indoors or outdoors.
In The Sims, the easel is called the "Dimanche" Folding Easel, though it does not actually fold. (In keeping with the artsy theme of this easel, "Dimanche" means "Sunday" in French.) The paintings made on it are not separate from it, and cannot be removed from it. A partially finished painting cannot be scrapped, but the easel can be sold with a partially finished painting on it.
It can be used by children, but the painting they produce will be, well, childish.
The Sims 2
|
All Sims love to paint, and with an Independent Expressions easel, painting is a snap. This "blank canvas" is sturdy enough for use indoors or out, and blank enough to allow even the most independent creativity to blossom and grow.
In The Sims 2, the easel is called the Independent Expressions Inc. Easel. It costs §100 more than its counterpart in The Sims, but is considerably improved. With the Independent Expressions Easel, only the Sim who started a painting can continue it, though any Sim can scrap a painting. (Sims will not scrap paintings autonomously.) If a Sim has at least five points of Creativity skill, he or she can paint a still life or portrait.
Since children, and even toddlers, can gain Creativity skill in The Sims 2, the quality - and sale price - of a child's paintings will depend on his or her skill level, just as with adults.
An easel with a partially-finished painting can be placed in a Sim's inventory. The painting can be finished at a later time. However, if the Sim who has the easel in inventory moves to a different lot, the easel will "forget" who started the painting, and the painting will have to be scrapped.
The Sims 3
|
From pointillism to post-modernism, perhaps even paint by numbers, everyone with the urge to paint can dip a brush into their creative side with the Artsy Easel. For a limited time only, buy now to receive a lifetime supply of canvases and paint!
In The Sims 3, the easel is called the Artsy Easel. Only the Sim who started a painting can continue it, though any Sim can scrap a painting. (Sims will not scrap paintings autonomously.) Sims cannot however use easels on any lot but their own. Sims can paint in three different sizes - small, medium and large. With higher skill levels, Sims can paint still life or portraits. They can even memorize a scene to paint it later, and do stylized still lifes.
With The Sims 3: World Adventures, Sims can make a painting from a photograph if their skill level is high enough.
Anyone from child to elder can paint, and improve their painting skill. There are also three toddler books that help give a head start to the painting skill when read.
The Sims 3: Store

The Sims 3 Store offers one additional easel which is effectively just a reskinned Artsy Easel. It is more elegantly shaped that the blocky, school-roomesque Artsy Easel.
