Pyro makes his purchases, then heads all the home to Pyroville. Part of the reason is practical, which we’ll get to in a moment. Photography is the opposite: you’ll see the fastest initial gains and the most money by just reading about it first. For example, Martial Arts and Painting are best taught just smacking a training dummy and painting a picture respectively rather than reading about it.

Now, some skills are best taught using the associated action. He also runs over to the Egyptian bookstore nearby and buys a book to teach the Photography Skill. All in all, it’s a poor choice… which is fine, because the Falkons have nearly $200,000 in the bank, so Pyro just goes ahead and buys the best camera. Further, the cheapest camera really is cheap: it can’t do much but take pictures, and the frame size is pretty small, just a hair bigger than your cell phone. However, better pictures lead to bigger skill gains, and of course the best pictures come from the best camera. All three countries always sell the cheapest camera, which is basically a disposable one. Pyro lucks out here, as all three camera types are available. If the cameras don’t appear in the general goods merchant’s inventory, wait until the next day: their stock tends to change daily (and the relics merchants always get new stuff every day), and you may get lucky. Since we’ve patched, it seems that the better types of cameras are only available at Egypt… and not always. Now, before we go further, an aside: prior to the first patch for World Adventures, all three types of cameras were available randomly in all three countries. There, he hits up the general goods merchant, who is selling three types of cameras. I want to do more painters, this is interesting.Pyro decides he’s had enough of writing for a bit, and books a flight to Egypt. Maybe your sims with boyfriends make romantic pictures? I think the traits matter a lot and maybe also the activities they do and the places they go. I wonder if that explains the painting on the left.Īnd the first one often made abstract geometric patterns, the second hasn't done that at all, could that be the handy trait? The perfectionist sim made much better pictures from the start, the first sim started out making stick figures and stuff like kids do in kindergarten. This second sim is also a writer and she wrote one childrens book. She hasn't made quite as many pictures as the first one yet but she did just max the skill and none of them have been blurry. Loner, Over Emotional, Perfectionist, Bookworm, Artistic.

Then that game became buggy and I restarted with a different sim: The one who made the blurry paintings was the one I started the Centurian challenge with, she had these traits:Īrtistic, Ambitious, Handy, Loner and Over Emotional
