Portrait painting
Katze:
I need help every time I have my sims painting portraits I get everything else in the picture but the sim I want in the portrait. How can I get him in the picture so he shows up alright. Last portrait I painted I got more tree then sim. :) I know this might gets me in the IOD. But please can someone help me.

I'm gonna ask the obvious question.... are you zooming in and centering with the red target to get the pic you want? you can use all the usual controls for moving that red rectangle target and getting exactly what you want in the picture. You can also choose "paint still life", position the sim you want painted, and then center the target how you want if you wanted them sitting or laying on the grass or whatever.

Thanks for the help.

If you press the tab button, you can use the W, D, S and A keys to move around, and your mouse to look about. Another two keys move your view up and down, I think they're maybe Q and Z, but I'm not sure. It's a bit more flexible than the normal zoom and rotate. Press tab again to exit the first person view.
PS: I find when I use the first person view, if I don't point the camera up at the sky before exiting, I end up with the most useless almost top-down view. If your view goes funny from using the first person mode, just go back into it and look upwards before tabbing back out.

I have no idea how to get this right, either. I got someone to paint a bowl of fruit and it was mainly wall, but the picture still sold as a masterpiece. I wouldn't have put it on my toilet wall, let alone anywhere else. As for portraits, I got Mortimer to paint Bella once. I tried to get her to lounge provocatively on the sofa, but she just kept standing-up. She got so fed-up standing there I had to stop him painting. I think now that the subject doesn't actually have to stay there, but presumably they need to pose first? If so, how on earth do you get them to stay put? Turn freewill off?
