Sims 2 is a game packed with cheats, hints and secrets that enhance game play. One of the best secrets is the ability to use your own personal photos by having your Sims paint them. You can use pictures of friends, family or your picture of the Eiffel Tower. Adding personal photos will give your Sims' dwellings some flair.
Instructions
1. Direct your Sim to paint by clicking on an easel and selecting "Paint Still Life." A yellow box will appear. Move the box around to frame the item or area you want your Sim to paint. Press "C" to capture the area and pause the game.
2. Press "Alt + Tab" to close the game screen. Open your picture program and locate the snapshot you just took. The picture is stored in "C:MyDocuments\EAGames\TheSims2\Storytelling\snapshot.bmp."
3. Locate the personal photo you want your Sim to paint. Right click on the photo to copy it and paste it over the snapshot displayed in your picture program. If your photo is too large, resize it to fit the snapshot.
4. Click "File-Save" to save the new photo over the Sims 2 snapshot.
5. Press "Alt + Tab" to return to the game. Once you resume the game, your Sim will begin painting your personal photo. Once the painting is finished, sell it to earn extra money or hang it on the wall.
