Why would I like the Moschino SP?

I've been on the fence for a while, nearly getting the Moschino pack earlier, but then something else in the game got my attention. Now it's on 30% sale (not that it matters that much, but on a tight budget every single Simoleon counts... ) this pack is back on my list. But what will it add to my game that I don't already have - sort of?

I have most EPs and some GPs.
Including Get to Work/Studio+Cams and Get Famous that I think already adds some fashionable outfits.

I like taking misc photos, some for the wall and some just for my folder.

I understand there is no modelling career, but can someone explain the photographer challenges? I read about getting on the magz front page, or is that just a random gig?

Are the backdrops and poses good? I am used to poseplayer mod, so I have plenty options already, but in game stuff might be a tad better?

Try to convince me?
  • I bought the Moschino pack to enhance my experience with Get Famous - the two packs complement each other very well.

    I like the Moschino pack, I don’t use CC or mods, but I like taking pictures. I have a photographer that I started sometime after getting Get to Work. He has a photo studio and mostly took landscapes he could sell. I also have a painter that goes different places and does the same thing.

    But, I love that Moschino stuff comes with the markers and tripod+camera. I have cameras and markers set up in various places. I have one outside the ship wreck night club in Sulani, with part of the ship wreck as back ground. I have another set up in a lounge/barn in Henford on Bagley with markers and tripod+camera set up in front of hay bales. In the Del Sol Valley Museum I have added extra activities, one thing added is a basement with a lot of different area’s set up for pictures, so there are some with the Moschino backdrops, some with other backdrops, like an indoor area set up as a garden, and different area’s with different wall patterns which can easily be changed, even an area with children’s walls, all with their own tripod+camera and markers, In one of my malls I have a room set up like a vampires living room with the tripod+camera with markers too. And I plan on adding a camera+tripod and markers to the graduation venue. I like that the camera+tripod and markers are so easy to use that you don’t have to have an experienced photographer there. You can have sims on vacation go to the tripod+camera and then take a picture with others ( they can head over to a marker too. ) It just makes picture taking so easy.

    You can also add a photographer to your wedding couples household, and add tripod+camera to different wedding venue areas for the photographer to take pictures of your wedding guests, and set up a special one with a background that the couple can use themselves. I think I have set ups at one of my wedding venues for these purposes, I just haven’t had a wedding there yet.

    I find the camera, tripod, and markers are just so versatile for use by all sims.

    The clothing in the pack does not have much variety as far as swatches go for many of the pieces, but there are many nice pieces in the clothing set, I use the jackets quite a bit. There is a fancy outfit my musician uses for performances too. The boots are also cute.

    And like all stuff packs there are new hairstyles with the pack too.

    I also like the build buy, you can make a very nice waiting room with it, And, I love the window.

    It comes with a photographer career too where you can call over and take pictures of models. I haven’t even used that yet. So far I have gotten much use out of this stuff pack.

    That's awesome! Thanks for bringing up the setup on community lots, it sounds perfect for my gaming style. Say if there is a set up cam in Selvadorada, can two visiting sims have their 2-sim photo taken without involving a 3rd sim as a photographer?

    I've been following this thread with interest. I'd never really considered getting this pack as it didn't seem to anything much for me, but the comments here made me see new possibilities ... so I made the most of the current sale price and now have it!

    @JustinB113 I haven’t had much of a chance to explore it yet, but I did give one of my Sims the tripod and am very impressed by the quality of the first photo she took. I’ve previously been quite disappointed by the photos my Sims have taken, and I’ve found it awkward to get good shots, so I’m already pleased to see how much better it is with this pack!
  • Thanks a bunch all! I'm still tempted, but nit convinced. Guess the consequence of clogging up my harddrive with content not so often used scares me, while I use photography a lot in my game and have several pro photographers who could definitely make use of some of this.

    The ground marker object, can it be placed on ground outside lots? I normally use the mod "teleport anywhere" but that can only be placed like a regular object, so I miss arranging a set up on common ground/off lot.

    Well, I will say I have invited sims out of my household to granite falls to go on vacation with one of my sims, but it’s really really tricky if the sim is not part of your household. If they aren’t in your household you can’t control them as easily. But if the second person is in your household where you can control them yes, I think it would work the same as it did in Henford on Bagley for me. I had the tripod/camera set up, with 2 markers and my two sims a wife and husband were able to take pictures together without a third person (photographer). So I assume if both people are in your household that it should work the same as any other community lot, as long as you have the camera/tripod and markers set up. You shouldn’t need a photographer with the set up tripod/camera and markers. If the second person isn’t in your household I’m not sure if it will work because it’s tricky when you invite people not in your household on vacations, But, it’s easy enough to move people in and out of your household.
  • Why would you? I have it only because the app dumped it into my game. That happened because it was a greyed-out not purchased icon. The clothing is hideous and have no interest in whatever else it offers. Save your pesos unless it has something in it you'll really like and use. I'd rather have the much hated by everyone Battuu.

    Notes taken :)

    I must admit I like what I see from Battuu pictures. I am definitely not into star wars, and my game universe is already packed with story lines and stuff I did not yet try out, so I would not need Battuu for enjoying my game, but it looks so unique and I like how some simmers use it as a "family park" thing. I could easily merge it with the Astronaut or Military career story wise.

    Re Moschino, I'm still out of town so I guess I missed that sale for now, besides the Book nook kit got my attention. I'll reconsider when I return back home.
