I was searching around for information on Sims 2 that would tell me how to delete walls because I was building my own house for my sims. Well I stumbled on info on how to make your sims do a custom painting of whatever you want, so I decided to try it out. I had my sim paint the pups of course ;). Of course she will hang it on the wall, I just have to find where I want her to put it :D

I'll include the directions on how to do it here in case anyone else who plays wants to try it.

To decorate your house with custom artwork, first your sim must have a creativity level of 5 and be able to paint a still life.
Have your sim paint a still life. Follow the directions that pop up in the game, hit C and then hit C again to take a picture. This will pause the game.
Use Alt + Tab to exit the game, then open a picture program such as Paint and open the snapshot you just took, it will usually be in the folder: C:\My Documents\EA\Sims2\Storytelling\Snapshot.bmp
Then, you also have to open the picture you want to have in your game. If your picture is too large resize it so it will fit in the original snapshot from the game.
Copy your custom picture on to your snapshot from the game, then save the picture. Use Alt + Tab to get back to your game and your sim will start painting your own custom picture.
