I am having a major issue with an opprtunity challenge. My simmie got a call from the bistro in Riverview, asking if she'd take 5 pictures in Champs Les Sims to spruce up the diningroom, which they would be willing to pay for both the trip and pics. I took pics all over the place, buildings, objects, landscapes, sims...etc and not one pic has qualified for this, and mind you I have made 2 trips for this. I even have close to a level 3 visa, but can't seem to complete this challenge. It's driving me mad, so if anyone has a clue what I need to be taking pics of, please let me know.
Thanks, Terry
I have a sim who is on her 7th or 8th skill point in photography and she took a pic of her hubby, Christopher Steel. I believe the setting was on Portrait, and the picture is huge. I really love this. She took shots of both of her daughters and they are gorgeous. Now trying to get one of her girls to build up skills in photography so she can get a shot of her mother.
Too bad there's no way to get a shot of the whole family. That would really be great.
Actually there is a way to do a family portrait, just need to get them where you want them using the MOO cheat and snap an in game photo (c), then go to your screenshots in the sims 3 folder and find your pic. Open the pic in your art program and crop it to your desire keeping in mind that it should be cropped to square size. Then touch up anything you feel needs doing and resize to 256x256 and save as a png file. Close out your game and open CAP, you have 4 options in the center, a hand, a grid, a hammer and a plus sign (+), choose the + (add sticker) and navigate to where you saved the png file, I usually save to desktop for easy access). Once you have it imported make a 256x256 of your imported pic and then import (I tend to save them in misc option) then it will upload to launcher. Now go into your sims 3 exports file and grab your new pattern and place it in your downloads folder and open the launcher. Now simply install your new pattern and load your game. Go to the family you were playing and make a 3 tiled wall where it's bright and sunny and place a plain wall paint on it, then using CAS changing the paint to your picture. Now simply have your sim take a photo of the pic, zooming in until you get it where you want and then frame it
voila
hope this helps.
