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.

Johnny and Ripp have to be the most expressive sims I've seen *lol* They're awfully adorable *heartfarts*

The "aww shucks" (top right) pic is cool, too. Very cute.

I have that animation box but haven't used it yet (I'm saving it for "top model").

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.

Lucky Ophelia! Crammed in a photobooth with two handsome men. ^_^

I know it was already said, but you get such great expressions. And that raised eyebrow is perfect.

Oh I like that.
Heh...Johnny is so...humorless sometimes, and Ripp is just a total cup-up. And Phi just puts up with all of it. The faces they all make are so great.
It is too bad you can't do three at a time in the booth. Especially for teens out together.

This is such a great idea! You're right, they should have made it so more than 2 sims can go into a photobooth. I can only imagine one sim getting kicked out on their butt because the others want to woo hoo. Aw

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. :)

! That's great! Oh man, I am so thankful for people like you that make fun little extras! :D That last photo is hilarious.

I absolutely love the bottom right shot. All of them are great and have something perfect for the characters, but there's something about that bottom right one.. Love it. :)

[speedspin-88.livejournal.com]

Bottom right seems like Ripp and Ophelia are both going to kiss Johnny on cheek and Johnny is looking at Ripp like "Don't you dare"

Is it just me or does Ripp look like a total space cadet in all these pictures?

This is so cool! I love the one where Phi is whispering in his ear, thats so cute! Hahaha, the three of them are awesome. I love their dynamic. =D

[hidden-kitten.livejournal.com]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the bottom right one. It looks like they're both kissing Johnny! Oh, but the bottom left is hilarious, too.

[akanwa.livejournal.com]

I love it! This is funny.

I have several animation hacks now but I don't think I have this one. (runs off to grab it)

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

I love the picture of Johnny getting in between Ripp and Phi's kiss. He's looks very suspicious.

These are adorable, by the way!

Johnny is slowly becoming one of my favorite characters these days. :D

[imsothenetgirl.livejournal.com]

How cute is that! I love Ripp's expression in the third panel and the fourth panel in general is cracking me up!

[swhedonberry.livejournal.com]

That last picture says it all to me.

Johnny: "Ripp, that better be Phi's hand..."

Jaydee and boolprop snapobjectstogrid false are my heroes when it comes to storytelling!! :P

It still takes a lot of patience... trying out everything those ani-boxes do and seeing how they will work with what you're wanting to show, but geez... I don't think I could tell a story these days without them!

I have all of them. Go Jaydee!!

And this photobooth picture is perfect! The icon you made from it is adorable too!

[abbycat900.livejournal.com]

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

[amaryssobellus.livejournal.com]

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.

[80sfiend.livejournal.com]

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

[simfinite.livejournal.com]

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.

"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
