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.

Awww! What an adorable picture!

I read something about creating ANOTHER folder for this version of SimPe:

Please install to a fresh folder, not over the top of your previous installation, or we won't want to have to deal with your support queries

I haven't tried to install it yet, though. So I have no idea what it means.

Aren't they cute, though? It was fun to think of was to combine the various animations for all three of them.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. I followed their instructions, and named the folder after that version of SimPE, exactly like they suggested. I get a warning about being denied access to that folder. I know that Vista gets weird about admin access (you have to okay almost everything manually - it asks you "are you sure you really want to run this application?"), so maybe that's the problem. I could fiddle around with Vista settings, but I really have no idea what I'm even looking for.
