This is a mod set that allows you to create and add your favorite posters and wall art to your Sims' houses. You can find the set, with these links -
Posterset Loader Studio (mod to make posters) and
PosterSet Loader v1.1 ( .package file to have them show up in-game) Both of them are needed for the set to work properly.
I get various images via the internet and resized them with a photo editor.
More Information below the how-to.

How To: Use DouglasVeiga's Poster Loader Studio Make a folder called PosterSet on your desktop and unzip the MTS_douglasveiga_1629708_PostersetLoaderStudio.zip into it. This is the program that you will use to make the posters.
It can't be used outside this folder without it's related .dll files, so I find it easier to create a folder that it will be unzipped into.
Unzip the MTS_douglasveiga_1629713_PosterSetLoader.zip file into the PosterSet folder as well. This is fine to do. The .package file that is in the zipped folder needs to go into the mods folder. -- This is the mod helps the posters show up in-game.
* Depending on how your mods folder is setup. Mine is setup using a Framework from Sims Wiki/ModTheSims.
