How does the photography studio work?

I finally got my photography studio built, and I'm trying to use the photo thing but I can't seem to get any sims over to take pictures. I tend it but no one comes over, I select a sim to take a photo of and they just stand there, and I select a group of sims and only half of them make it over and then they end up stuck on it. Am I doing something wrong, or is mine just buggy? I was having a lot of fun with my bakery before but the "out of stock" signs corrupted and now I can't remove them. :(

Thank you!

    please help ;3 ive gotten to the point in photography where i can use a flash studio, yet i cant find it a n y w h e r e. and ive downloaded the KEWAI-DOU lights but when i placed them it says "script call failed" and i just dont know what to do


    Hello
    Try using the filter in the bottom right side in build mode, to filter to only show GTW items. This may help you to find the photo studio.

    With the script call failed issue, Sims 4 Studio tool has a batch fix that fixex cc lighting items that have been broken
    http://sims4studio.com/board/6/download-sims-studio-open-version (register with the site first before trying to access the download page )
    It would be good to download the latest version and run the batch fix.
    After installing the program, click the tools label at the top of the screen, the batch fix options will be able to be accessed from the drop down menu
    You need to register on the site but it is free. You need to be logged in to access the download page.

    Hello @1thatoneperson1 You’re welcome :) It is in the “ activities and skills” section. Try going to that section, then filter it by the gtw pack.

    It definitely sounds like your studio might be glitching a bit. I had a similar issue where my Sims would just freeze in place after selecting them for photos, especially with group shots. What helped me was resetting the photo studio object through build mode and making sure no other interactions were queued up for the Sims I selected. Also, sometimes mods or outdated game files can interfere with how the photo feature works, so it's worth checking if everything’s up to date.

    If you're still running into trouble, I’d recommend checking out how real-world photo studios manage shoots, it can offer some inspiration on how to set things up for smoother in-game flow. For example, I came across this site that explains a lot about studio workflows and how they manage client sessions click here, if you're curious. It’s not Sim-related, but the process they describe actually gave me some ideas for organizing my in-game studio better.

    Hope you get it working again, photography can be super fun in-game once it’s running smoothly!
