Did the toddler max creativity on the xylophone, or by drawing on the activity table? The latter could conceivably count towards 'paintings painted', though I wouldn't have thought it would. That's too logical. ::)

I don't have FT, so i have no idea how the activity table affects things. Toddler maxed using the xylophone (which is so easily done now, double smart-milk effect, Autumn (Seasons) boost and Adventurer/Journalism reward in toddler room), maxing 2 skills as a toddler is feasible.

It's the same for me, but without the Journalism/Adventurer reward. Several children painted masterpieces, so now I remove the smart milk effect as soon as my toddlers grow up. MOAR PAIN is good, this game is just too easy otherwise. Also, I've the regular habit of starting/stopping the painting, gaining creativity via different objects, etc. My vampire maxed on the piano, painted three full paintings (start/stop) and got a masterpiece (green mood, green Asp).
Mood might be a factor, all my sims have also been in green mood or better. But as far as Aspiration is concerned, I have had some teens of the full-skills variety achieve masterpieces in red. Then again, it might just be my game. After the masterpiece is painted, though, it does seem to take some time to get another one.

Value of paintings doesn't seem to correlate to numbers of paintings painted.
Is the opposite of this:

It is true tho, that the more paintings a sim does, the higher the price goes.
Also, I've heard that paintings are one of the few objects in the game that appreciate over time. Is this true? How long does it take?
Zazazu:
They appreciate a little over time. It's not worth it for non-masterpieces. When a sim dies, they appreciate greatly. I haven't looked at the numbers...generally, if I'm keeping a painting around, it's because it's a "portrait" or an early house painting I want for history and the sim painting dimensions work for it..otherwise I'm doing recolors of existing art. Less chance of the old reverting-to-stupid-sunset-painting bug. Anyways, I have one in my farm lot that I know was about $100 in value when painted and the artist has been dead for about 15 sim days. I can check what it is now.
