Masterpiece Hey guys My sims has an aspiration of money or wealth or something, and she wants to paint a masterpiece, she has top creativity ? how do i do it from Narra Girl
If you've got the easel, tell her to go paint. I had mine do it--not a portrait or landscape of anything--just told him to paint a picture. He had all the creative skill points he could earn already. When he finished it I told him to sell it. Turned out to be a masterpiece and he was happy.
Hey lynet yeah i did that but i guess the painting the painted wasnt considered a master piece i will keep trying i guess Thanks xoxo Narra Girl
To be a masterpiece the painting has to achieve a certain price when it is sold ... can't remember offhand what the price is but it seems awfully reasonable for a masterpiece
I have two different sims rolling the "sell a masterpiece" want right now. Those selling for about 500 simoleans seem to satisfy this. It doesn't have to be exactly 500. Anything in the 490 range and above makes that little "paint palette" pic float above their heads. You're right, Mirelly...that doesn't seem like a lot for a masterpiece!
Yes it is! I wish it cost that little in real life. I seldom use the maid service, though. Mine seem to "forget" to take the trash out or fixate on keeping the fishtank spotless. I'm certainly not paying to have someone come to simply make the bed. I miss the robot maid (can't think of the name right now) from TS1. They worked so much better for people that worked the night shift or had odd hours. (I grew up watching the Jetson's. I was sooo sure we would all have a Rosie by now. I'm a little put out that these won't exist in my lifetime. I want one in my sims world at least.)
Here, here! I'd forgotten about that maid.... she did everything, cleaning gardening, and repairs too?
Robotics engineers declare it's a no-brainer that cars will drive themselves 50-60 years from now Mitsubishi blazing a trail in the wake of Rosie (or did I mean Twiki?) So ... 4 links to ponder, Zy ... You planning on self-termination before your centenary, then?
Thank you for the Jetson link!!! I enjoyed tripping down memory lane. After 40 years, I still don't have my flying car or a home in the stratosphere. I won't hold my breath on getting a Rosie anytime soon either. Umm...I really don't think it will require self termination. But if I do make it to 100 or 105 I'm pretty sure I'll need a car that drives itself. At least everyone else on the road will be glad if mine does. My mom is 80 and never was a good driver. I should take her car keys away from her but she'd never speak to me again. She now has a bee up her bonnet about buying a big pickup truck. Considering that she can't make a left hand turn or back up a car the thought of turning her loose on the public with a truck is terrifying. I sure wish those cars were available right this minute. :(
I'm beginning to think you're running some used tank dealership. Puleeeezzz don't send my mom a brochure. I'm positive she'd insist on buying one. I've tried to visualize her taking one of these things through the safety lane. Out of curiosity...do they have turn signals? It'd be a real pain to pop the top to use hand signals.
OMG what a picture. Your little old mother peeking over the top of a tank to do hand signals ... tee hee ... Some people DO drive tanks, they just call them Buicks. Or Hummers. Bet people with Hummers are having buyer's remorse now that gas is so expensive ... I drive a beat-up Honda Civic that gets 35 miles to the gallon in the city, easy. Probably more, I'm just not good with math. I have to fill up once every week and a half and it costs me $20. Want to save money? Buy a Civic. I've had this car forever and plan to drive it into the ground ...
Oh geez...it's a terrifying picture to me. She would take out every telephone and light pole on her route. She is a little thing that can barely see over the steering wheel. She got her license so she could drive me to school. Never did learn how to turn left. She managed to find a way to town and back home making all right hand turns. The only problem was that there was only one parking lot on this route. If it was full...we had to go home. I've had a recurring dream since childhood of my mom driving everywhere in reverse. I have no idea what this means but it's probably not good. For some reason this reminds me of the elderly gentleman that lived in our neighborhood when I was a kid. He had a little drinking problem and his license was revoked. Undetered, he drove his riding lawnmower to the liquor store. We could tell if he partook of his new purchase on the way home because he would mow a drunken swath through everyone's front yard.
me too, lol! right now I'm getting weeks of driving from a tank of gas in my T-Bird because I have less than a mile to get to my bus in the morning.
@#%#$ it!!! There goes the diet coke up my nose again!!!!! I just got the mental picture of some little old man on his riding lawnmower going up and down the block mowing other people's yards and singing, "How dry I am." LMAO!!
"How Dry I Am"? Could be. I always pictured him singing "Rye Whiskey". "If the river were brandy and I were a duck, I'd dive to the bottom and never come up. Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry...if I don't get my whiskey I surely will die." One of the first songs I ever learned for some reason. It's a lively song...much better for singing loudly on a lawnmower.
I'm afraid old age is creeping in, because I'm starting to remember the words to songs I learned in elementary school better that whats on the radio today. like: roll out the barrel, an' we'll have a barrel of fun....
