Do you know if your walls are drywall or plaster?
If it were me, I’d sand it down with a high-grit sandpaper….though you’re going to have to repaint. Make sure you use a good primer and then paint.
Cracking is typical of plaster walls. You could go an artsy faux finish, then the crackles would look like they’re desired.

Alot of people pay good money for crackly things. Some even pay better money to have the crackly things repaired. Does your trim have multiple coats of paint? What you may be seeing is what’s called an alligator effect. Usually a stripper and sanding are required to remedy the situation. If ya think it’s due to high moisture (paint tends to come off in flakes, etc.–not sticking) you may just scrape, sand and prime.
