Decorating sims' homes with their own photos

This is lovely! I haven't done this lately, but in my DITFT challenge, I have pictures from each generation all around the house as a way to immortalize the heirs, spouses, and spares.

I do wish we had some more pose options with the studio camera, though. I want romantic pose options for couples to be a thing so much, haha.

Hello
The photos look so special on the walls! :) They are very nice photo memories of your sims at different times of their lives.

I do the same! Except I'm not as creative with my placement, lol. You've just given me inspiration!

I do that too!! Its always been one of my favorite features! It's also great for generational gameplay! And I love that you can change the filter (that way, young grandma's pictures get the grayscale or sepia filter when she's older to emulate time passing!).

Here's a recent one I took for the holdidays:

The Christmas family photos look so very special on the wall! @Pixelsimmer :)

Oooooh yes, I LOVE doing this - I do this all the time! I especially love taking photos at weddings and then distributing those throughout the family. :) I will have to post some pictures later! I love all of the ones that have been shared so far - some really thoughtful arrangements.

I had never considered doing sepia tone for older pictures, but I am SO going to try that now! :smiley:

I noticed they had a picture frame in my game, but I can't figure out how to add pictures. Does anyone care to explain? What is the photo studio?

Hello
When you take a photo, you can place it on the wall,then click on it and the option to add a frame will be there.

This is a picture of the photo studio item and a little bit about it. It came with GTW.

Yes that one is for looks unfortunately we don't have that option in TS4, I wish we did though!!! I was thinking you were getting confused with TS3 for a second....LOL I have been making my own photos with Sims 4 Studio of the screenshots I have taken.

@rosemow Thanks. I don't have GTW. I was supposed to get it for Black Friday, but Origin didn't accept the card I tried to ue. :( Is decorating with pictures not included in base game?

Hello
The photography skill came with GTW.
I think that you can still take photos on your cell phone if you don't have GTW, but they can't be put on the walls.
