[MSP] [PS] No pose options in Photo Studio

Product - The Sims 4

Platform - PS4

Which language are you playing the game in - English 

How often does this bug occur - Only when using “Photo Studio” 

How can we find the bug ourselves - Have your sims take pictures at the photo studio, click the square button to change from filters to poses. 
What happens when this bug occurs - There aren’t any poses to choose from, the filters still work. 
What do you expect to see - Being able to choose a different pose in the photo studio like in the rest of the camera modes. 
Have you installed any customization with the game? Custom Content or Mods - No

Did this issue appear after a specific path or change you made to your system? - Not sure 


I’ve been trying to take some photos with different poses in the photo studio with single sims and multiple sims. There are no longer any pose options to choose from. Though the rest of the cameras have pose options. 

Picture 1 - photo studio 

Picture 2 - regular camera

    @charissebby 

    Thanks for providing that additional info! 

    I've moved your post from the Console board section to the Bug Reports section.

    @charissebby I'm having this exact same problem, with the exact same appearance as the OP's first screenshot there. Filters are there, the poses are not. They work normally with the other cameras, but not in the photo studio object.

    When using the 'In a Flash Photo Studio' previously, there was an option for the subject/sim being photographed to change poses. This option was present along with the filter change option (which still works) where you'd have to press square (PS5/4) to toggle between them (poses/filters). The option to change poses is no longer present as it is with any other photography equipment.

    I am unable to attach a photo/screenshot, however, it's pretty straightforward to find the problem. Highlight the 'In a Flash Photo Studio' and select "take photo of..." then select a sim. Once the photo view loads up, said sim will be in a random pose. Moving with the D-pad allows you to select a filter. Pressing square should toggle this to selecting a pose - but this is now not the case.
