Lol, anyway, that's a great idea! Now someone needs to figure out a way of satisfying all those guys who want to buy mp3 player or a playstation...

I think there's a hack for "no gizmo wants" at http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/

It keeps people from demanding cellphones.

Thank you! This makes gameplay a lot less irritating. I hate having to wait for the wants to reset themselves for the "want to buy a bass", etc. thing disappears, and half the time it comes back! I like that the paintings are screenshots, too - that way they look like a band poster. Thanks for solving this annoying problem of wants and giving us some great paintings.

Nice idea - These won't look as out-of-place in my themed lots as the actual instruments do And no more irritating busking guests! YES! Thank you!

Can you make them for cars too? I have a sim that really wants a car and the lot is too small for a driveway. I LOVE this idea.

This is great. Gets so annoying when you have sims in a tiny house and they always have wants for huge things.

Thanks!

LOL! This is great!
We now have the ability to turn off wants selectively as opposed to turning them off completely.
I don't think its ever been done. A very creative solution.

I love it

Thank you!

Feel free to recolour them to make them fit in even better.

I'm working on a few other paintings. My problem is that I leave the country in a few days and will be away from computer for over 4 months.

Brilliant! Thank you! And if you can, I'd love to have one for the piano, since most of my houses are too small to accommodate one.

A couple more for breakfast
A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off.

What a great idea! I'm so sick of my Knowledge Sims wanting drumkits :D

Thank you! :clap: The constant nagging for one of every musical instrument was getting annoying. And the bubbleblower. Why does my sim feel he/she MUST have one and refuses to give up that want and when I buy it they don't even use it? Grrr. Wonderful idea.

If only my life was as fun as my sims...

I'm (selfishly) sorry to hear you'll be away from your computer so long - you're obviously brilliant! Thank you for this!

Of course, and in hindsight, so obvious - after all, how many real people satisfy their woohoo wants with pictures? :sadpanda:
