Earlier in this thread I posted about the troubles I was having, focusing the camera when a painter captures a still-life, as a means to paint a portrait for a legacy. I continued to have such a hard time with it, that I changed the rules of my legacy so as not to require portraits. Now we have the Immortal Dynasty Challenge, and I was already feeling like I'd be unable to participate for that same reason. I needed to resolve my portrait problems.
I got onto my maxed painter sim and played around with the camera and it dawned on me that I'd been struggling with trying to focus on a moving target, when in fact the tilde key would pause the movement. I had thought there was no way to do that. So, with my confidence back, I had my painter paint a couple self-portraits and to my surprise the
other problem I'd been having was still there. Despite a large variation in sim traits and skills, all the portraits come out looking like these, dotty and unclear:
Is there a way to get clearer portraits? Or is this just a result typical of "still life portraits"? She doesn't have a "portrait" option, even though she's maxed.
