Sculpting rise value if Sculptor dies

[klop90]

My question if the sculptor dies. Does the value rise off the sculptures he has made?

[Ricalynn]

As far as I can tell, all sculptures appreciate at the rate of 2% per day and that will raise to 4% a day once the sculptor is dead.   I don't think it matters what the quality of the sculpture is only that brilliants and masterpieces are worth more in the beginning and therefore appreciate more simoleons.

The evil side of me is now killing my sculptors.

They also get a bump of about 2500 the day the sculptor dies.

I guess I just realized why you should have the non-immortals do the sculptures.    Is it the same for paintings?

[Ricalynn]

Paintings also get a "Death bump" of §930 and then appreciate at double the rate.  Having non immortals do it can be a museum bump but for convenience it's easier to have immortals do it.


Painting is off topic but here's a blurb: For level 5+ only: Skill level of the painter (at the time the painting was created) is multiplied by 0.5, 0.75, or 1.0 (depending on canvas size) and that value is added to the painting every other day for the remainder of the painting's existence. For example, if your Sim is skill level eight and they paint something medium, 8x0.75=6 so six Simoleans will be added to the value of the painting every other day.

Sculptures have a flat 2% rate until after death which is 4%.

What is the rate of appreciation for sculptures created by ghosts?

[Ricalynn]

The game already thinks of them as dead and since the appreciation rate only goes up after death, that means it will be the lower percent all the time.
