The core elements of the pack are a new easel, sketchpad and woodworking table, all of which will build your Sim's creative skills. While we do have some alternative easels, most are locked behind the rewards system, and we only have one woodworking table. As a result, both these items are well worth investing in. For those Sims who prefer digital art, the CreativePro Tablet has you covered. You can make digital art and build your skills in a different way.
The easel and woodworking table both have swatches depicting a clean version of several wood tones, and a paint-splattered one. These colours also match all the other furniture pieces in the kit.

These storage options are common yet differing ways to store items in a studio. The tall cabinet uses the same wood tones as the easel and has shelves full of art clutter, while the locker has more vibrant and modern looks with colourful swatches. Both look stylish and clean, unless you opt for the paint splattered colourway.
The rolling cart is an iconic item, seen in most art studios. This one is filled with supplies, and once again has clean and paint-filled swatches. The drying rack looks a little like a desk but doesn't function as one. However, there are slots to place clutter such as brushes and paints on both items.

These items are best used for displaying objects to paint still life. While the step-ladder shelf is more decorative and not necessarily something you'd want to paint, it really works well as an area to store items and bring together the room.

The EA Store's Sims 4 bundle option is awesome, and it helps to make the most of your purchase by getting packs that play nicely together.
PostsThe two pedestal sets act as either a table for brushes or a stand for a vase or other item you wish to paint. Since there is a setting to take photos and paint real items, this makes the whole process feel much more natural.

These items give your walls some texture and an eye-catching look. The wallpaper is plain but effective, in a range of wood tones to match the items in the pack. Likewise, the wall shelf with apron also has swatches that compliment the other items.
The painting swatches are reference images and look perfect in a studio. There are life drawing sketches, sketches of bowls of fruit and vases of flowers, sketches to show different colour combinations, and finally some darker sketches of Grim and friends.

These clutter items are all paint themed and can be added to different places in your studio. The brushes are a nice set of ready to use brushes standing in tubs with blotting paper underneath. The paint palettes are accompanied by some tubes of paint and contrast nicely with other paint designs on the furniture.

These items all fit nicely into the various clutter slots and bring life to your studio. They also make great focuses for realism paintings, especially the vase which has swatches where some of the petals have fallen from the flowers.
A pile of sketchbooks is a standard artist staple, and the torso sculpture looks perfect near the woodworking table. You can also display Sim-crafted items alongside it. Perfect for making the studio homely and cozy.

These final pieces add the perfect finishing touches to your studio. The drapes offer a neat background for still life set ups, while the plant splatters add a touch of detail to the flooring. If you don't want paint-splattered surfaces, they are a nice way to make the studio feel used without the theme being overwhelming.
The sink has nostalgic memories as the white square design features brushes on the side and familiar paint splatters on the edges. Finally, the studio light can point at both an item to be painted and the canvas itself, offering directional lighting which perfectly matches the rest of the pack. These final touches bring your Artist's Studio to life.
