Hey! It's been a while since I've used the forums, years I think. But I had a question about something I'm trying to pull off in the Sims 3 which seems practically impossible and figured that the best place to get an answer would most likely be here. Anyways, the thing I'm trying to pull off are Giant Sims or at least the illusion of a giant Sim. Here's the context: I'm trying to recreate Captain America: Civil War in the Sims 3, so far I've gotten up to the recruitment scenes which is before the airport fight. Spoilers ahead, by the way, in case you haven't seen it. So during the airport fight, Ant-Man grows into Giant-Man and rips off the wing of an airplane. I know I probably won't be able to do that last part but I want to turn my Ant-Man sim into a Giant Ant-Man sim. I was thinking about using toys as props to make him seem giant but I don't know if that'll work. And I also don't want to mess around with any coding which might ruin my Sim or make him giant forever. Maybe there's a camera trick or tiny props to make him look big? I'm not entirely sure but hopefully someone here is. Any help is definitely appreciated!Oh and if you guys know any airport/airplane props that'd be super helpful too. Thanks!

Personally, I would take a picture of the scene without Giant Ant-Man, then take a separate picture of Giant Ant-Man in the pose I want him to be in. Making sure the background of his picture is a bright color that doesn't appear on his clothing. Then, I'd take both pictures into GIMP or Photoshop, isolate Giant Ant-Man, cut and paste him into the scene, and then scale him up to an appropriate size.

Google OMSP resizer. It can make your sim huge, mainly for posing or animations.Oh and Fresh Prince has a cool airplane that works like a car.Added links: http://mahamudosim3.blogspot.tw/2012/07/omsp-resizer.html?zx=b65fc27a096d8efbhttps://i.imgur.com/4F1oFHh.jpgPlane:http://www.freshprincecreations.com/f35planesetts3.htm

I guess ya'll already got enough answers now but if you want to make him look even bigger and intimidating, you can take shots of him from very low angles on the ground.. It makes the person looking at the picture feel like they're very small and can feel a little intimidating too, observe:https://citywonders.com/media/11640/low-angle-shot-eiffel-tower-tour-list.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&quality=65&width=950&height=600Vs a straight on shot, which one looks bigger to you?:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Tour_Eiffel_Wikimedia_Commons_%28cropped%29.jpg/1200px-Tour_Eiffel_Wikimedia_Commons_%28cropped%29.jpgSimilarily, you can do the exact opposite to make people seem inferior or smaller, like they are being intimidated by someone (using a high angle shot, as if ant man is looking down at them):https://image.slidesharecdn.com/filmtheory-141016000457-conversion-gate02/95/film-theory-shot-selection-storyboard-and-montage-12-638.jpg?cb=1413418013(I'm pretty sure that picture is taken from someone's media homework or something but whatever lol)P.s sorry these pictures are really big?? Wasn't aware when I put them in but yeah

cmaar_XCAS mod can make him taller, and buhudain's OMSP resizer will help you make items bigger or smaller.Enjoy! :) http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Eo2PsN6nPUc/UAA_SrOeZOI/AAAAAAAAHQY/nbYt4Rs0gLw/s640/OMSPR008.jpghttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kkWOibwQsL8/UAA_TtkKETI/AAAAAAAAHQg/LkjQVKmj8bo/s640/OMSPR009.jpg

@jillbg That dollhouse pic! :lol: I had no idea resizer was a thing. That's pretty cool!

Vs a straight on shot, which one looks bigger to you?:

Similarily, you can do the exact opposite to make people seem inferior or smaller, like they are being intimidated by someone (using a high angle shot, as if ant man is looking down at them):

@Emily4331 It's excellent! I usually use it to size down CC, which is often a little too big for reality pics! :)

Thanks for the answers, everyone! I'm definitely going to look into those size mods. I had no idea something like even existed! And I'll also see if camera angles help as well. The thing about the camera angles (and the editing two pictures together) is that I'm recreating the film through memories rather than screenshots so the memory camera isn't as flexible, I think. But, either way, I'll be sure to try out each method and see how it turns out.

With lots of cc and memories you risk lagging your game. Better look into some Nraas mods.

Twallan's mods are the best, your game should run smoothly with those :)

Nearly done with the airport fight but the mods that you guys have suggested have worked awesomely so far. I haven't gotten to the Giant-Man part yet but here's a look at a tiny Ant-Man on Cap's shield.
