Sims can sell their art in various ways in the game. Here’s what you need to know.
Flea Market Strategy
- To sell art at the flea market, use your own portable art wall to display and sell paintings.
- Click a display table and view inventory, then drag paintings into the table’s inventory.
- Stock the table with items or art, tend it, and interact with customers.
Direct Selling Methods
To sell paintings directly in Sims 4, here are the steps:
- Put the painting in your Sim’s personal inventory.
- Open the inventory menu and drag the painting into the sell pane at the bottom.
- Confirm the sale and receive your funds.
Sims can also have yard sales using sale tables from Buy Mode. Here, you can place a table, stock it, and tend it to sell items to visiting Sims.
Other Methods to Sell Art
- Join the Painter Career to unlock the ability to sell paintings to the Art Gallery for a 20% profit increase.
- From your inventory, click the display, select "view inventory," drag the item to the display, then stock and tend to interact with customers.
- To cheat for more Simoleons, type "rosebud" or "kaching" for 1,000 simoleons or "motherlode" for 50,000 simoleons.
Selling Woodworking and Other Items
- Purchase the flea market table to sell wood sculptures on it using the “yard sale” option.
Expanding the Painter Career
Several career paths are available in The Sims expansions, including Painter. Once chosen, you work independently and create art as you desire.
Gameplay Tips and Tricks
- To hold a yard sale, use the "Come and Get it Street Store" table and place objects on it to sell.
- Memorize scenes by taking a photo with your Sims phone or camera, which are saved to inventory.
- To find buried treasure in Island Living, use the metal detector on beach areas.
- To get aliens, stargaze using a telescope until an alien visits.
- For twins, eat strawberries, listen to pop music, and use fertility massages at the spa.
- Cheat codes are entered using the cheat console which is opened with Ctrl + Shift + C.
Collecting and Catching
- Use the crystallized element collection helper to detect nearby collectibles and vacuum them up.
- Fish for a voodoo doll with the secret "Rare Fish" option on your Sim’s phone/computer.
Be sure that your Sim’s Painting skill level and traits are high for better-valued masterpieces. Mastery leads to increased household funds from art sales.
