Default Picture Taking Tutorial Video
Okay! This is something I have wanted to do for the sims 2 community for a long time and I finally got around to it. A video about taking pictures! It's about how all the tips and tricks I know to wrangle sims into poses for picture-taking purposes. I have a very long list in the video description with links to all the helpful cocktail of mods I use in my game but I will also add them here for you

VIDEO TUTORIAL

***METHODS OF SNAPPING SCREENSHOTS***

Windows 7 Users - print screen will copy screenshot to clipboard and then you must paste it into an editing program (i.e. paint, GIMP, photoshop)

Windows 10 users - Windows logo key + PrtScn will save screen shots to a 'screenshots' folder

Other 3rd party screenshot applications - Bandicam, FRAPS, Nvidea Geforce Experience, STEAM.

***USEFUL CHEATS***

move_objects on - manhandle your sims

boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false - sims/objects can be placed closer and take up less space

boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true - using the < or > keys, all sims/objects can be turned 45 degrees.

stretchskeleton X.X (in place of X.X, enter a value; 1.0 is standard adult sim height) - make sims taller or shorter

plumbbobtoggle off - removes the green diamonds

showheadlines off - wait a moment and then it will remove all
thought/speech bubbles and messages that appear on the top right corner.

boolProp dormspecifictoolsdisabled false - enabled buy/build mode on community lots without a mod
