Paparazzi opportunity issue in photography skill

Hi, recently, I've been challenging to complete the skill opportunities in game. I completed all photography opportunities except for this one. Is there any tip to make this success? I have all EPs and SPs installed in my game. Tried to ask to pose to the sim and take a picture, then dragged the pic out to inventory didn't work.

  • @aodoherty  Some of the photography opportunities are hit or miss.  I haven't read other reports of this particular opportunity failing to complete, but problems with the WA adventures that involve photography are common.  The only suggestions I have are to make sure the camera is showing the correct subject before your sim takes the photo and to try again.

    Edit:  I just saw your edit.  Out of curiosity, what is the exact description of the opportunity?

    Oh sorry for the late reply. The photo title was a sim in area when I took the pic of the sim.  Actually, I didn't take the pic of the opportunity he got in game, but I have another one his spouse got the same opportunity. 

    I opened the same paparazzi opportunity to my J sim and Oscar sim, and for J sim was supposed to take the pic of the merchant at the festival park, and Oscar should take the pic of this sim. Yes I feel that even the nectar skill challenges were glitched.

    @aodoherty  I haven't completed this particular opportunity, so I might not be able to help with it.  But if there's an option to take a portrait of the sim, maybe try that.  And again, it just might be that the opportunity bugged out or the one photo you took didn't register properly, the same way that taking photos of floor switches or piles of ancient coins can be hit or miss.

    @puzzlezaddictI can’t remember correctly there’s a portrait option, I will try tomorrow and update. Thanks. 😊

    Update] Sadly the portrait mode didn't work on this opportunity. ☹️ It's ok, I will give up this opportunity. Thanks for helping. 🙂
