That thing needs some work! I can't fathom why they only made it work for 2 sims at a time and that you can't even take pictures of teens-elders with children! Grrr... (come on Maxis, you guys know family players love taking pics of their families!)

If you are like me and enjoy decorating your sims homes with personal photos, then hopefully this will help you if you didn't already know. And if you have more tips or tricks, share them. I really want to get a pic of my whole family but my sim can't take the picture and pose in it at the same time.

There are 2 slots on the photo studio thing for 2 sims to stand and pose. You can place chairs in front of and behind the 2 slots. I tried placing a loveseat behind, but my sim would not route to it. I will try to place a love seat in front next time. I have to try it in a room or on a lot with more space.

This is what it will look like: First time I tried it with a barstool in back, but the adult in back was way too high.

These look like barstools, but they are actually CC chairs...used them for their lack of back:

Setting it up:

The pictures I managed to take. Not all great, but some are good enough:

That's really good! How did you get the others to pose?

Unfortunately, you can't. The boy had a self option to daydream, so I would repeatedly press that to hopefully get him in a good pose. The mom did not so it was just...wait and hope that she moved or looked in the direction of the camera.
