I've always been big on in-game photos with the cell phones or cameras and I love to decorate the house with them and keep them as memories as time goes on. Does anyone else do this? I'll post some of my photos below and I'd love to see yours, too!http://i.imgur.com/PfdUpEU.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/MNEFdgQ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/RldQQpC.png

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.

HelloThe 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:https://s24.postimg.org/qay16ac0l/IMG_6568.jpg

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

I rarely did it until I started playing a photographer. I put a lot of the pictures she takes on her walls and then have her take pictures of her pictures so I can post them on my blog (I'm writing the story from her perspective).

She's gonna need a bigger apartment because I'm starting to run out of room to place the pictures!

The photos look very nice how they have been placed on the walls! @MDianaSanders :) They are very special pictures of your sims, and the placement of them on the walls looks very nice :)

This is adorable! I have always tried to place them nicely in game but never really thought about rearranging them in buy mode and using MOO but it looks so lovely and realistic. I love the over-lapping because it makes it look like a collage frame. Very creative.

I love doing that, especially for my legacies.

I also agree with @Pixelsimmer , I use the filters to also emulate time passing.

When I discovered that using the photo studio would cause the photo to have aura of the mood the Sim was in at the time the photo was taken, I made tons!!! I put the in community lots I want to have Sims in that mood. Your screenshots look great!!!!

I like doing this too! It works especially well with social Sims. I often give them a wall of photos with their friends.

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?

I'm not sure what you mean by picture frame because I have to see it or it just isn't coming to mind. The photo studio is the camera with the backdrop a lights.

@GoddessSims It's a decoration item you can stand up on a table. I was assuming it would be a lot like Sims 3 and you would need the frame before you could add the picture. I guess the one in this game is just for looks..

@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?
