Hey! I’m the friend with the magic poses, lol. All I do is have an adult go to tripod to take a picture. I choose “take picture of” then it gives me options of children and adults who are on the lot. I choose a child and an adult, and they pose sweetly. If I use markers they will not do the sweet poses.
@Lizaster523 @LyssSimpatico Thank you for posting the video and posting about how it was done. You've shown me something new and it is appreciated. I really like those poses!
@crinrict I think you might be on to something with the relationships. Definitely going to test some more now that I know how it was done.
@CGrant56This is interesting. I just created the family I used as a test and they didn't know each other super well. They knew each other well enough but also not super high.
Update:
So I tried to just take pictures of Mom and Daughter.
Oddly enough sometimes it worked. They would pose together. But most of the other times they would pose separately but together.
I can't figure out how they pose together as a family rather than pose together doing separate poses.
I cycled through all the different poses and they won't come together if they are already posing separately.
@Bearpal64 Thanks for linking the video. I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet. I couldn't get a child and an older sim to pose together when I tried earlier, I was trying with a child and his aunt, then with his teenage brother and then with his adopted dad. Mom was at work at the time. So I want to see if I can get it to work with the mom and child to get the poses you got in the 1st part of the video.
i made a mistake selfies were never an option i guess. But the poses of them interacting are not in my game but they are in hers. Why is that?
@LyssSimpatico Idk what exactly is going on. It seems to be hit and miss. I did manage to get them once with child and mother in my testing but most of the time I keep getting the separate poses. And trying with different sim combinations, I just kept getting the separate poses so something has to be going on that I haven't figured out yet. But they are in the game. Just how to get them reliably is the issue. Still working on it though and if I find a reliable way to get them, I will post it in this thread. Really puzzling, that's for sure. So keep checking here and maybe I'll have found something by the time you next visit.
I did max out the friendship level between mother and child. Made sure they were in happy moods. I invited over another child and they could take a picture together but not with adults. If its not a bug and it’s something required in order to get the kids to take pictures with adults, i think the gurus should give this a look as it is really difficult to get these pictures.
EA Staff (Retired)Selfies are definitely supposed to be unavailable between children/adults, due to height differences, that's by design. The inconsistency with Take Photo With sometimes working and sometimes not sounds like a potential bug, we can investigate, thanks for all the info everyone 🙂
