Picture frame / screenshot object

There should be a picture frame (preferably tabletop or one that would allow both wall and tabletop placement) in the game that could utilize the in-game screenshots we can take. You would click on the object and it would allow options for filter, similar to the camera pictures your Sims can take, name the picture, or to choose a photo/new photo and it would pull up a menu of the screenshots you've taken.

I love taking screenshots in game, but don't have very much use for a lot of them that I take and think this could be a cool object that utilizes the in-game screenshot mechanic.

    I hope they add them
  • Yeah. Like, I really wish photography in game would get a big ol' overhaul, but if we can't have that, this kinda seems like the least that could be done to compensate.
  • Yes please i would also love if they would be high quality photo’s just like in the st trailer bc pictured taken with the camera are mostly blurry no matter what skill level

    With an NPC Photographer we could make group pictures like the one above. I've been wanting NPC Phographers ever since Get To Work came out for the photo camera studio.

    If you take all possible 5 photos during each take you will end up with at least 1 good quality picture. If you point your coursor on the photos it will tell you the quality and the prize of each photo, that way it's easier to tell whether it's good quality or not. Also when you skill up in photography more photos you take will come out being better quality.

    My biggest issue is that I can't ask another sim to take photos in the photo camera studio, especially when I'm playing with one sim and they're getting married and there is no other sim in my active family to take the photos for them.
    Another thing is that you can only have up to 2 sims in one pic. It's way to little. We need to be able to take family photos, at least in the camera studio.

    I don't reallt get the main post though, you can drag the pictures on to the wall to hang them in frames. The only thing that does not exist is stand up frames that you can place on tables, which I hope will be added soon because some Sim Guru have taken notice of that I believe.

    Oh, I just realised you were talking about screenshots, not pictures. Now I get it, and I have to agree that it's a great idea, solves the issue with group photos and all.
  • I want this too !


    It's really annoying that we can't take a pic of more than two sims (other than by having your sims together, manage to have them stay there for a minute and have another sim take a pic). I want group pics.
