How To: Make A 'Studio'

Hello Simmers! Today I'm going to be showing you a How To post. How To: Make A 'Studio' on the Sims 3! I have used these 'Studios' a many times before, and they are a great place to play around, and have a shot at taking photographs of your Sims! I began my photography in the 'Studio', and I love being able to change the lighting, backgrounds and props, just like a real model shoot! So, if you would like to try your hand at model-type photography, then follow these next few, simple instructions, and you will be well on your way to taking photographs using The Sims 3! Enjoy!

1. Find an empty community lot. Make sure it is set to 'Visitors Allowed'.

2. Enter build/buy mode for the empty lot. Build a room.

3. Now using Flat Wall in the white colour, paint the entire room walls that colour.

4. Lay Simple Flooring in white colour all over the floor. You now have a white, empty room.

5. Add a door, of course.

6. Now place any particular lights in a corner of the room, making them evenly spaced so the lighting is even.

You may like to do the same to another corner, so you can have a few different settings in your studio.

7. You are now pretty much complete! Go ahead and add any decorations, props, chairs, whatever you like to create your very own model shoot. I've added a cow-hide chair to use for a later shoot. All you have to do is get your sim/s to visit the community lot, get them to walk/stand in the prefect place for your shoot, and snap, snap, snap away! Enjoy playing around with your 'studio'!
Here is my finished studio!

Emilee

Some shots I took as Emilee (daughter of Sally) played with her dollhouse in the studio. She really loved chewing that doll! I had a bit of a laugh, hope you do too! Enjoy!

Belinda

Belinda is a kindred elderly lady, married to Peter (In a previous post). I captured some photos of her in the studio last night- I love how her eyes seem to sparkle with a sort of happiness! I have enjoyed photographing different age groups, because of the different expressions and faces that you can find- I hope you Enjoy!

Peter

I loved taking photographs of this elderly man- Peter, in the studio last night! He was scared of the dark, and was a bit worried about what was going on around him, and he had some great facial expressions that I hadn't captured on camera before- so I was rather pleased with these, which is why there are so many! I hope you fall in love with his kind face, as I have. Enjoy!

Stacey

Stacey is a shy, tender teenager, who prefers her own space and is not the most popular kid in town. I was planning on including her a movie, but since my Launcher is playing up, and won't connect to the internet even thought there is perfectly fine connection, I am sadly unable to create the movie. If my Launcher begins working again, I shall create the movie based around Stacey and her family and friends, and post it here for everyone to see. Until then, Stacey will remain shy Stacey, and these are some photos of her taken in the studio. The last few are taken of her telling a Scary Story to some of the other sims in the Studio, also. Enjoy!

Catherine

Catherine is a beautiful, single mother of two, Stacey and Kayden, who is not only great with children, but pretty good on the romance side of things! These first four photos were taken inside the studio, and I thought she looked lovely with her long eyelashes and beautiful features! The last photo was taken as she was running to catch a cab to go on a 'Free Vacation'... leaving the teenagers running the household... which resulted in a wild teen party! Enjoy!

Kayden

This is Stacey's younger brother and Katherine's child, Kayden. The first few photos were taken in the studio (I shall post how to make a studio very soon), and the last few were also in the studio, but he has dressed up as a dinosaur using the costume chest found in the Generations expansion pack. He also has lovely, blue eyes, and a great sense of humour! Enjoy!
