    A small tip if some of you want the custom thumbnail to look EXACTLY like the image on the painting itself: there is an "export" button next to the Custom Thumbnail tab. If you click on it and resize your painting image to fit the little white square (like when you are making the painting), and then import the file, your thumbnail will look exactly like its bigger counterpart.

    So, for a building idea how about you try and recreate one of the dollhouses from the game into an actual sims house?

    I wish I could understand how to use photo editing programs, it's all so incomprehensible to me. I don't have the money for photoshop, and it's the only one I vaguely understand how to use (because of school)

    awesome! Always wanted my photo's to be in the game!
    You can do the image overlay in Paint, open two Paint programs, have your photo in one to be resized and the export from the studio in another. All you have to do is select you photo than mess about with it to fit in where the photo will sit. You save than import it in to studio. You don't have to have Photoshop.

    • @SebastianMeikle
      @SebastianMeikle 3 года назад +2

      You have to make sure your image is divisible by 2. Ie 32x32 or 32x64. It doesn’t matter what size. But ensure the image is divisible by 2. If you look at the original image when you export. Make sure your new image is exactly the same size. I had this same issue.

    I would love to see how to recolor tables/chairs or windows/doors. I love some of the doors and windows but hate that you can't get them in all white. I don't use CC but I would honestly think about using it if it meant having all white doors/windows with ones that don't have all white swatches and tables/chairs that are truly black, not some super dark brown. Plus this way I know where the CC is coming from. :)

    this tutorial is all well and good but what about changing the paintings in which your sim paints while using the easel? When leveling up your painting skill you see the same things created over and over again. When you paint an impressionist painting say on a large portrait canvas your sim has about half a dozen creations. I get tired of seeing the same picture being created over and over again.

    Thank you so much for this video. I've made my first poster and I was even inspired to make custom books. :)
