Freestanding Paintings, Better Photos, and Better Cameras

One of my favorite things to do in The Sims 4 is to take photos of my Sims and paint. I love that you can take selfies and "Paint By Reference", as it's a nice way to document your family and the world around your Sim, and can add some kind of life to their home and storyline. However, I absolutely hate the way the cameras work. Especially the paintings.

With the cameras, I would prefer if we could use more cameras besides only our Sim's phone for selfies. It has **bleep** angles, the camera can't pan far enough to fully capture some poses, and if my Sim is standing too close to another Sim, depending on how I rotate them with the slider, it clips through the other Sim and I have glitchy bits and pieces of them in the photo.

I'd also like if there were better poses in general. The poses that are available for both photos with one Sim in them and with 2+ Sims in them are absolutely trash. Sure, with the Moshino Stuff Pack there's a few new poses and a whole new category, but we shouldn't have to pay for something as mundane as poses. CC creators make them for free, so I don't see why it can't be possible in the official game.

And with the Moshino Stuff Pack, I would like if there were better poses for photos with 2 Sims. I tried to take a photo with 3 Sims, but it was always 2 close to each other and the third off to the side. It's really ugly and annoying.

For painting, I'm aware of the ctrl + 5 method to get whatever photo yo uwant in "Paint By Reference", but the initial camera range and angle are terrible. It'd be nice if we could get more things to paint in the other categories, like Classic, Figure, Abstract, and the usual emotional painting options.

With the paintings, I'd also like if there was a landscape option for the Large size painting, or even just more flexible sizes in general. With the ctrl + 5 method of painting by reference, I couldn't always get the image I wanted because there was no landscape option, but the medium painting wasn't big enough to capture the whole frame. The zoom sliders could be more generous as well.

I would also love if we could place paintings on counters or tables like you can with photos. I have a build where there's no wall space to hang paintings, but I want it to be nicely decorated, and I have more than enough counter/table space to put them.
