Portrait painting

It bugs me that the paintings considered "masterpieces" if sold aren't worth about the same amount as the higher end Maxis paintings. If they were, then we could hang them up on the walls without the sim going "yuck."
It's probably their art broker taking a huge cut. Damn the middleman!

I never use Paint Portrait, because even though the 'Subject' doesn't need to stand there the whole time, they do need to be there for the artist to start. In my homes of 8, that just doesn't make sense. Still Life is so much more versatile.
Carmelita:
It also bugs me when you have your artist "paint portrait" but need to stop partway through. The next time you want him to paint he yells at his subject to get back over there. Then you have to remember to cancel the "pose for portrait" action or your painter will just stand around for hours until his subject finishes doing whatever she was up to.
Painting a still life is definitely better.

Like being at work, for instance. Grr.
It didn't even occur to me to try using the mouse wheel for fixing the top-down view. Ta muchly!

Just looked through my old photos when I first got Uni. I was a photo-taking maniac! But you can see in these (really really old) pics there's a mixture of regular camera poses and normal animations (I used the toddler and "hang out" animations for a lot of them). And moveObjects on and snapObjectstoGrid false are awesome tools for getting the sims in different positions:
The last one resulted in this cute little glitch when Joe was released from his pose and stood up, which became my old avatar:
I actually do wedding photos for my sims, with all the typical wedding photo shots, brides family, grooms family, etc. I scare myself.
