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

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.

Aww I love these! Especially the one where Johnny looks embarrassed (Ripp looks like he's totally clueless in that picture) and the one where Ripp and Ophelia look like they're about to kiss him.

I like the arched eyebrow shot of Johnny too. :)

I think Ripp looks like he's talking in that second one, or just trying to look stupid. It was one of the "goofy" poses. I totally think it looks like they are going to kiss him in the last one. Or, at least, Ripp looked at him, so he started to wonder.

Ripp makes the best goofy faces. Hell, all of the Grunts do, including Buzz.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ripp was about to kiss him on the cheek, even though it might be just for the sake of making a funny photo. "Well, Phi's doing it, so why can't I?" :P

I agree. They had good features for it, in different ways.

Good excuse, Ripp. :P But I'm sure he would do it just for a laugh.
