Paparazzi! Opportunity
« on: September 03, 2011, 07:01:12 AM »
I'm trying to do an opportunity called Paparazzi!, in which my sim takes a picture of a sim named in the opportunity, and delivers it to another sim.  Specifically, it says, "Caitlin Lindquist wants a picture of Dixie Patrick but won't tell you the reason why, only that you'll be paid nicely."  I've tried taking pictures that include Dixie Patrick with many names:  A sim in the area, Two's Company, Three's a Crowd, My Friend, Two of My Friends, Three of My Friends, Running, and Lovers at Night.  When I put them in my inventory, none of them register as the photo that my sim need to turn in.  I have noticed when I look at the photos that they are all titled with almost the same or exactly the same wording as is written beneath them, and none of them say Dixie Patrick. 

Has anyone successfully done this opportunity before?  Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get a photo that will register correctly for this opportunity?

I haven't done this challenge, but have you tried taking the photo out of the camera and putting it in your personal inventory? That worked for me when I needed a picture of ancient coins. Also, try using your cell phone; again, putting the photo in separately.

Although Photography came with World Adventures, I'm going to move this topic to the Miscellaneous Help board.  I think you will get better results there.

Try clicking on Dixie Patrick and use the option that says "ask to pose", then take the picture when he poses .
Not sure it will work, but worth a try :)

Ferretmania is correct, I had the opportunity and went up to the sim and asked them to pose. I worked for me.

Thanks for the responses, everyone.  I've already tried asking her to pose and taking the pictures out of the camera, and neither thing worked.  I'm glad they worked for you, though.  I wonder if I need to ask her to pose for a certain shot, like a sim in the area?  Maybe I'll try that.

Edit:  Nope, still didn't work.  I tried having another sim take a picture of her.  Their picture had her name in the title, when my original sims' didn't.  Their picture also registered as counting.  After that I switched the pictures in her (my original sims' inventory) so she would turn in the picture that I wanted her to turn in, and it still worked.

I'm wondering if this is part of the problem the photography skill has had with Generations? I do know they've never bothered to fix the challenges; a couple of them have duplicate objectives which never allow you to satisfy that particular series. I do remember the "ask to pose" option working prior to Generations.

I know this thread died a while ago, but I just had the same problem. I resolved it by taking the photo of the celeb out of my camera, and then passing the camera to another member of my family. Hey presto, the option to "deliver photo" appeared. Took the camera back and then delivered photo. I think this is a generations fault as I hadn't had it before installing that pack.
