How do you take group photos of more than one sims?? I have this as a task for the freelancer career, but I literally have no idea how to make it work. You can't take a photo of more than one person, taking pictures of three sims standing together didn't work, can't take a photo of more than one in the photo studio.I'm stumped.edited because I said "adults" instead of "sims" which was a misquote.edited AGAIN: *sigh* okay, you have to use the tripod, that's all. Right.

Okay, but this doesn't actually work, either.Even when they are all gathered, it just stays on "take a picture" and then they eventually walk away.

You have to use those marks to stand on. Went back in game to look them up.. called Fashion Studio Subject Mark... you can put them in your sims inventory also along with the tripod to take pictures out and about.

ThanksThis is so picky. So here are the exact steps: 1) Take tripod out, put camera on it2) place marks (for the record, using a teleportation statue from that teleport anywhere mod is so much easier BUT it won't count)3) Tell each one where to pose4) Take Picture of Sim on MarkIt seems really simple and obvious now, but ugh. Less fun and more limited than the way it works using teleports and pose packs.I'm super into the photography aspect of the game, so that's why I bought this pack. I'm hoping it turns out well.

Actually .. sorry they don't have to use the marks. I thought they did. You can use them but I'm getting shots of all three without them also.It's a definite learning curve. The livestream was good at giving info about it. Below is the screenshot from my folder.. it comes in closer on the pictures like the ones on the wall behind the sims.https://i.imgur.com/03UqGSr.png

I'm just using the tripod.. first I had all the sims go pose on the marks, (they are invisible in the shot above) and then selected from the tripod (with a camera on it) to take picture of selected sims... then I selected them all and took the shots that I put on the wall.Then I let them leave the marks and again clicked on the tripod to take pictures of and selected all three of them again and got the shot you see there.I do really suggest you look at the livestream.What do you mean by "stall" does it freeze up?

Same. If I don’t put marks one of them leaves before the picture is taken or just never comes (“wait for photographer” isn’t in their queue) it drives me nuuuuuuuuuuuuts.

Please try without the marks first, see if the same thing is happening.

They will all "wait for photographer" in front of the camera, the photographer sim will bend down quickly like he's taking a picture, then stand back up immediately and then just forever be "taking a picture". Then one of the Sims will queue up a task and leave, and the others will follow right after.

I've tried this multiple ways, in different locations, with different groups. It just won't happen for me without the marks first.

Had to sleep :).

Okay tried again today and basically I have to use the marks first to get them where I want them (for taking a shot with 3 sims). Then I take shots that way. Then when they relax and start moving I can usually get a second set of shots with them off the marks.
I went outside of my sims lot .. so the sims were even harder to control so I cheated them all happy. They seemed to do better then. It's still time consuming but I had fun with it.

When in the studio or room/lot you can control it helps to lock them in with you lol.. whatever it takes.

Anyone know how to take group pics (of like whole families,) without any of the ad ins and stuff, because i can’t keep all of my sims (some of them ain’t in the household anymore) together long enough to do it, wanted at least one family photo before the dad died since he’s old and I don’t know how much longer he has

Not sure if this helps... but I have the marks in the studio...

I click on them to hire the model(s), if I need them in certain outfits, I choose Freelancer from the option menu on the model, then design outfits for each model...

once all the models outfits are designed, I ask them to change into that outfit...

then I click on the camera & tripod set up in the studio and I choose "Take photo of..." where I then choose all models for the photo shoot...

then when the photo window pops up, I choose the size of photo I want... scenic or portrait... and poses
