Perfectly timed screenshots! Let's see them!
My sim decided to go for a swim in the crystal salty waters of "Hawaii" and this little fishy popped up to say hello. If you're wondering how you get fish to surface, all you do is add the fish pond e...

I have had quite a few shots that took some timing to pull off or were just incredibly lucky pauses. I'll put all but this first one in a spoiler since there is quite a few. I have a ton more, but these are the best ones I think.
This one is my favorite since it took years to accomplish. I had been trying to get a lightening strike ever since the Seasons pack was released. I've managed a few shots of Sims getting hit, but never one where the entire world was lit up. It finally happened last year in San Myshuno when my challenge Sims lived in that penthouse. It took almost 30 minutes of staring at that setting while it stormed and hitting play, pause, play, pause, over and over. But I finally got it! \o/ <3

This shot is probably tied with the first just because it's my challenge couple before they were a couple. He was a YA, she a teen when they climbed the mountain together. This is their victory high five. It would be another two real life months before they finally had their first kiss and became a real couple not long after she aged up to a YA.

The Sim getting buried inside a Snowpal had actually fell off her broom right into it. Sandy didn't notice her and just kept building. hehe

Caught this phantom skier right before it went down the slope.

Buster was already laying there when Cogburn walked over to stand over him on his way back to the coop.

I had no idea Cale would do this move in mid-air until I paused at just the right time.

This one doesn't look like much, but it took a bit of timing to accomplish. I wanted Ridge to be looking right at the crater cloud when lightening struck underneath. It took a bit of patience, but worth it I think. :)

Just a very lucky pause really. Though I did wait until the helicopter was right by the jet.

Josh and Essa were in disguise sneaking into the StrangerVille lab. They transportalated inside at the exact same time right next to each other. I didn't expect that to happen, they were just standing side-by-side when casting the spell.

I really didn't expect this shot either when I paused at just the right time before they walked apart. It looks like they're morphing into one Sim!

This one took a bit of patience and timing too. I wanted a shot of the lighthouse beacon and the waves crashing on the rocks at the same time.

Lee was standing in front of a dumpster after he'd suddenly stopped diving into it. I'd queued up more diving, but it seemed he was more interested in looking up at the Northern Lights. When I unpaused though, I found out why he was looking up, he got abducted by aliens!

A very lucky pause here. I managed to get Josh in mid-air with his arms spread wide before he put them together for a swan dive. I didn't even notice the Northern Lights this time until I positioned the camera under him and got this shot. :)
