Sims storytelling help
RainbowTigress:
If you use the expensive telescope, you can use debug cheats to get your sim abducted. (You can do this with the cheap telescope, but there is no reaction to it as with the expensive one, your sim just gets sucked up in the sky.) Since my video card is not capable of cut scenes, I have never seen them, but I can get a lot of pictures of the sim's expression as well as the other sims gathered around. Unless they are knowledge sims, family members will be horrified and have a bad memory. Maybe you could disable cutscenes in your video preferences to be able to take these pictures. I'm not sure if you can take pictures of a cutscene since I've never had them.
baratron:
Thanks all :D. Think I'm a long way off the LordTyser school of sophistication, but the next chapter should be a big improvement. The Reaction Tester is particularly useful, although some of the animations I don't actually recognise as belonging to an interaction in the game.
Someone really needs to write a complete guide to the boolprop TestingCheats, including the various things that can be spawned. Then hide it somewhere, so that only clueful people can find it, not the BBS kiddies who think it's a good idea to give their sims Death Tokens.
Now I just want to know whose stupid idea it was to make the cameraman mode "raise camera" and "lower camera" buttons Q and E, and how many times on average people accidentally quit the game while trying to take photos. (Yes, I KNOW it says "Do you really want to quit without saving?", it doesn't always help! That's why I keep backups.)

D'oh! Do you have any idea how long I've spent zooming in and out trying to get the correct height for a picture? And there are buttons!

Sandilou:
Hit that tab key so that you can get some real close ups. It's easier to manoeuvre and produces some interesting angles.
witch:
Sandilou, I do use tab for my lot shots but have difficulty controlling the camera. I might, god forbid, go back to the sims manual and have a proper look at keyboard shorcuts again. :-X
Baratron, I like your story, sweet and not at all threatening to bbs gayphobes IMHO. ;) Might I suggest a little conflict along the way, maybe Mitch suspects Max of having a relationship with his female study buddy before he knows Max is gay? Mitch's gaydar says Max is gay but Max's behaviour contradicts this. Or Mitch spacks out a bit and drinks too much fruit punch at a party? Gets into a fight?
