WA photographs problem?
bimbelina:
One of the Egypt adventures wants you to take a photo of a treasure chest. I figured out the stupid way that using the in-game camera or cell phone wouldn't satisfy the requirement. So, I bought one of each of the cameras in the market, and after I press C to take the photo, the "Take Photo" action remains in the queue. It can't be killed, and I have to resetsim to continue. I found a few references to this problem on the BBS, but no solutions. Any ideas, please?
Daimon:
Clearing caches and DCBackup files and starting the game again is being reported to work -sometimes-. Swearing at EA while doing so is optional.

Thanks for the tip, but it seems this time is not one of those times, even with extra swearing. Sigh...

I was hit by that bug just a few hours ago and while I don't have a solution yet I can report on what others suggested (in no particular order):
-Patch all your EP's manually
-Clear all cache files and if you play a custom world (including Bridgeport, Riverview, Barnacle Bay etc.) clear world caches in Documents, too
-Switch households for a few minutes
-Cancel any opportunities, quit game, clear chaches, reload game. It seems that most people are hit by that bug when they try to take a photo while there's an unfinished opportunity for them. At least my Sim was affected as soon as he tried to take a photo of his quest giver in China.
Edit update: I cleared caches AND completed the open opportunity. After that photography worked normally again. Clearing caches only did nothing. And I haven't patched WA separately.

Thanks. I tried all of that too, still no joy. Maybe there will be a patch.
