The expensive camera takes small, medium, and large photos and has even better zoom capabilities. The mid-range camera allows you to take small and medium photos and does have zoom capabilities. The cheapest one isn’t any better than the cell phone for taking pictures it only lets you take small photos and doesn’t have zoom capabilities. There are three base game cameras you can purchase. All the cameras are located in the Activities & Skills > Creativity category. To start taking photos, your Sims will need either their cell phone or any camera found in Build/Buy. Then I’ll introduce you to how you can enhance your photography using the Moschino Stuff pack! Lastly, I’ll point you to some optional mods that I find helpful for taking and organizing my photos.

First, I’ll show you how to take photos with just the base game. So today, I’ll be walking you through how to take beautiful in-game photos that your Sims can hang up on the wall or display on surfaces.

A friend of mine asked me for a photography tutorial to help her learn the ins and outs of taking photographs in the game.

I’m always using the in-game camera tools to get the perfect shots of my Sims. Weddings, graduations, first days of school, birthday parties, family vacations, it’s all captured in photo memories that make a house feel like a home. As a generational and family player, I’m obsessed with taking beautiful family photos to display on the walls of my Sims’ homes.
