Strangetown Extras: Llama Dance Party

[strangetomato]

I spent some time tonight testing out some ideas for a photo shoot of Llama Dance Party to make some band posters, but then I realize that I can't really do anything the way I used to without InSIM. It's a lot worse than I thought it would be. I really depend on the ability to make sims selectable when setting up my shots. How else am I going to move everyone around? I can teleport a sim in, but then I can't control them. I can't tell them to practice the instrument instead of perform. I can't even tell them which instrument to play. I can't select another sim, so there isn't a plumpbob in my shot. *sigh*

I see now that it's going to be impossible for me to get my next update out unless I have InSIM. I'm either going to have to wait for it to be updated or risk using the current version with Free Time. I've heard many people say that using the object version with FT is no problem. Is there really nothing to worry about?

These photos really aren't what they could be. I was working around a lot of issues to get them. Well, the photos are fine, since closely cropped shots weren't such an issue, but I wanted one of the whole band, and it wasn't really possible.

I also noticed a jumping glitch, where the girls just snapped off the game table, and I could no longer click on it. I guess I'll have to remove all of my downloads to try to figure out what's going wrong. *sigh*

I'm feeling a little bummed out about this right now.

There are some llama downloads on MTS2, including a stuffed toy (that actually looks rather creepy). You could do your own llama posters and paintings, too!

I've seen those llama downloads at MTS2, but most of them are too realistic looking (and that doll really does look creepy, though that might be funny).

I really should make some of my own llama posters and paintings. I would make good use of llama stuff in the game. There's even a llama or two on a farm not that far from where I live (it's an alpaca farm, but they have a couple of llamas). I could take some reference photos. Actually, I'm sure I already have a number of them somewhere.

Llamas are so cute. ^_^ Alpacas, too.

They are. Cute in an ugly sort of way. They have scary teeth, but they have such long pretty eyelashes. ^_^
