we need for selfie options

I'm so tired of all my sims using the same 3 selfie poses for all photos. Like, gee, how more obvious can it be that they have no personality since they all pose the same way.

Not only that, but we should be able to take selfies with more than 2 sims. Why isn't THIS possible in the game?

False advertising, no?

photos also always look terrible and pixelated. I'd love to go around taking more photos but since I want reasonable quality photos I end up having to spend a lot more effort making cc photos from screenshots. I shouldn't have to do that.

    i also find it frustrating that my sims cant take photos with/of their toddlers, and im pretty sure children until they become teens. thats super unrealistic. my social media is flooded with selfies and solo photos of parents and their kids as infants, toddlers and children.

    hopefully with get famous well get more poses and options!


    Children can take pictures or have pictures taken.

    they can indeed but what they cant do is take a photo *with* an adult. ive tested it. my adult sims do not have their children appearing in the list of available sims for 'take photo with'. i dont want the children to take photos, i want family pictures and i cant have that
  • There's so much room for improvement with photography in Sims 4. I need family portraits! And I'd rather all my sims be able to be in it, since that was one of my issues with TS3 too. Technically, you can pose sims for a group shot and take a candid, but somebody would always be left out because somebody has to take the picture. It would be nice if there was a tripod option.

    I also miss the way you could pause or unpause and move the camera freely while in photo mode like it was in TS3. It's so tedious to time it just right in the TS4 and to make the sim stand just in the right spot to get the perfect photo.
  • I really do not see the need for more selfie options would be nice if there was the option to take a family picture I rarely use the option to take selfies in the game anyway if I use the camera I use the c button or buy a camera for my sims to take pic

    Why can't everyone have both? Just because you wouldn't want it doesn't mean others wouldn't.

    More variety in this game is always welcomed and I would like to see more selfie options AND more group photos with the photo studio especially for families.

    @DreamaDove wouldn't really call that false advertisement as a lot of the sims game has a lot of still images. Either way more options for poses for the camera with selfie to group photos would be good.
  • Yes!!!

    Look, I had my legacy sims take A LOT of selfies with people and by themselves, filled an entire wall of them, and it became pretty obvious how few selfie pose options we really had. And this was only the first generation; I intended to do this with future generations, but now I don't really want to, it'll all just be the same.

    I tried looking for mods that would add more poses.
    How many did I find?
    None at all. It's all just pose player stuff.

    Is it really that hard to add more selfie poses for the actual camera to choose from?

    It sure would be neat if the pose would be influenced by their personality, or the relationship between the sims taking it as well.
    Adult/child selfies are impossible, adult/toddler selfies are also impossible. Why?

    We definitely need the ability to have more people in the picture as well. Why isn't that render a thing we can actually do in-game???

    Like, they've clearly thought of it. Add it.

    I found some default replacement poses for the camera once, but I can't find them anymore. Though I don't want to replace the current ones, I just want more and more variety.
