OVERVIEW

This is a part-time version of the base game's Painter career.

Arialyx made some lovely TS4 careers but they haven’t be updated since 2019.

Like with Asiashamecca’s careers, I’ve updated them and will maintain them so other people can enjoy Arialyx’s work.

I do not take any credit for these careers.

If Arialyx updates their career posts on ModTheSims, I will delete mine and link to them instead.
