Strangetown extras: Remember that time we all crammed into the photo booth together?

[strangetomato]

Here's a little something that I've been working on for my next update. It's a photo booth photo for Johnny's bedroom, which I've created myself and will add to the game by recolouring a painting with SimPE. I had to do it this way because you can't stuff three sims into a photo booth, which is a real shame, since people do it all of the time in real life (I know that I have, many times). I considered posting a WCIF post to the Sims 2 community, but then I figured that if someone had created a hack that cool, I would have heard about it by now. So, using Jaydee's Photo Poses Animation Box, I took the matter into my own hands.

I'm so pleased with that arched eyebrow shot of Johnny. He's so not amused by Ripp's antics. It's just perfect.

All I have to do now is update SimPE and do the recolour. It's been updated for K&B Stuff, but I can't seem to extract the files into the program folder that I created for it on my computer. I followed the instructions to the letter, but my system will not allow them to be placed in the folder (yes, the computer must take all of the blame for this, not me). I don't know if it's some security setting, or what, but I'll gladly take suggestions, if you have any. I run Vista, if it makes any difference.

Awh, their so adorable! Ripp is just TOO cute!

Great shots! I'm going to try and get K&B this week and maybe with the new updated SimPE I could actually do something like this.

Thanks. I use these animation boxes a lot for stories too. If you fish around enough, you can find the best expressions.

Can you be too cute? :P

Thanks. I hope it works out for you. I haven't been able to update SimPE for some reason. I'm supposed to transfer the files to a new folder, but my computer is not allowing me to access the folder. I'm sure I can figure it out if I really try to, but it's causing me a bit of grief.

I... I think so. Because if Ripp was any cuter, I think I'd be dead. And if I was dead, that would be murder, wouldn't it?

Aww I like the photos! Very very cute. :D I'll have to check out that Photo poses thing. :D

Wow. You did such an amazing job with this! Ripp cracks me up in the bottom left shot, and Johnny in the bottom right one is just perfect.

Thanks. It was a lot of fun to try different combinations with those poses.

I made this icon, based on swhedonberry's comment. It goes perfectly with the bottom right shot.

Thank you. You should check it out! Those posing boxes are great for doing photoshoots and stories.

"I'm so pleased with that arched eyebrow shot of Johnny. He's so not amused by Ripp's antics. It's just perfect." I agree. <3
