Mods / Traits: Paint from free reference by dagger – Mod The Sims 4.
This mod modifies the “Paint from reference” interaction, so the reference can be taken from any place.
Without this mod you can take the reference only from position of a painter sim.
How to use:
Find an easel and hit “Paint from reference” on it.
Before your sim will start the interaction pause the game.
Find a good place for taking a reference from.
Position your ingame camera in that place and unpause.
