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 effect to any body of water, and voila! (I didn't actually know the fish effect did this so it was a welcomed surprised when it happened haha.)
@Binibini Oh they absolutely fought each other. The coincidence was that they ran into each other in suburbia instead of their respective home turfs. Greg won the fight. And with the baby and Grim, I told her to bite him. I think it's under the mean category. The way the interaction ran, he reached out to scratch under her chin, and she chomped his finger. 10/10 would recommend again.
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
https://i.imgur.com/yMoaerR.png 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.

https://i.imgur.com/9WQZC82.png I had no idea Cale would do this move in mid-air until I paused at just the right time.

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. :)
https://i.imgur.com/ht2QPTi.png Just a very lucky pause really. Though I did wait until the helicopter was right by the jet.
https://i.imgur.com/i7LZgaU.png 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.
https://i.imgur.com/cWfL7KV.png 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!
https://i.imgur.com/Pu4JKJi.png https://i.imgur.com/7d1OAOi.png https://i.imgur.com/KJRiXVA.png https://i.imgur.com/7tfvSXg.png 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.
https://i.imgur.com/hHbVX6a.png 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!
https://i.imgur.com/518UwW4.png 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. :)
@Karababy52 your screenshots were not just timed so well but they were stunning! I don't know if you're a storyteller but you have a knack for capturing moments that tell a story! Thanks for sharing.
@Binibini - Thank you so much for your sweet comments about my screenshots! Seriously made me smile so much! <3 I love to tell stories for my Sims, yes. And I love taking screenshots! I probably take way too many, but oh well.
It's fun trying different angles to see what you can get. It's so sweet too when you take a lucky pause and get something unexpected. For me personally, it's almost like winning the lottery. Well, not the same, at all, but I think you know what I'm trying to say. Thanks again! <3
Thanks to everyone else too for sharing their photos, they're all amazing! I'm so glad you started this thread Binibini. I hope more will share their screenshots. :)
Happy Simming! <3
