Hiiii!! I hope your having a good day <3, first I just wanted to say that I really love all your posts and they are quite inspiring to me and lovely and aesthetically pleasing, and I hope you continue making the posts that you do. Im not sure if you are going to answer this and I understand if not but I was wondering, and I also asked Madi the same question as im quite indesive myself and need a few opinions but I was wondering what packs you would best recommend to buy as ive been unsure I whether I want to get the HSY pack or the Growing Together pack, as well as others xx

Hello! I really appreciate your compliments, thank you very much! 🤍

Although it is quite the difficult choice for me, I would personally go with growing together since I adore all the features it adds to different life stages instead of just teens. It depends what kind of gameplay you enjoy but as a family player myself, Growing Together holds a lot more value and I'd choose it over High School Years.

If you need more pack recommendations, I listed them here (from 2023 but nothing has changed).

I hope this was helpful to you, have a lovely day!

Hello Amelie, I wanted to tell you that I am absolutely in love with all the photos you take but especially the family photos, they seem beautiful and incredibly realistic to me, if you don't mind, could you say where you get the inspiration to take them? Or some tip?

Hello, that is so kind of you, thank you! I listed a few tips I have for you below.

Find your Inspiration/Vision I generally do not like loading up my game to take photos without a clear vision in my mind. If you're having trouble coming up with something, you can use events/photos from your own life or pinterest/movies etc to come up with ideas! That usually also helps make the photos look realistic because you notice small details you wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

Lighting: Use lighting to your advantage. Natural light is always great for realism, so shooting during the day or near windows with sunlight streaming in can create a softer, more authentic look. If you're indoors, experiment with table lamps or overhead lights that create a warm, golden glow. I recommend using the relight shader to create realistic looking lighting, especially if you want to take photos at night or in the late evening.

Go Pose Hunting There are many amazing pose creators that create free poses. You can look up the hashtag 'ts4 poses' on tumblr or even browse pinterest for them. I guarantee you'll find a lot of great poses that might even give you photo ideas.

Group Poses: For group photos, ensure that all family members/sims are visible and balanced in the frame. Sometimes, it’s best to have them positioned in tiers (e.g., taller Sims in the back, shorter Sims in the front).

Experiment with angles You can look at real life photos to get ideas of different angles and distances you could try out. This keeps your photos interesting and can add to the realism.

Decorate the Environment Furniture and Props: Pay attention to your surroundings. For example, placing family pictures on walls, furniture that suits your sims' style, or even using specific themed décor (e.g., horse sculpture or coffee table books for an equestrian) can elevate the family’s/sims' aesthetics.

Clothing: Choose clothing that fits the vibe and the sim of the photo you're wanting to take. Consider the environment and time of day, such as casual lounge wear for photos in the living room or elegant dresses for a more formal shot. Do not dress a sim in something they wouldn't wear/doesn't fit their personality and personal style.

Consider the Background Clean, Uncluttered Backgrounds (for me personally): Ensure the background doesn’t distract from the family. If you're inside, remove any unnecessary clutter, or stage it so it enhances the overall aesthetic. If you're outdoors, consider the surroundings—fields, beaches, or a garden can add to the atmosphere.

Storytelling and Personal Touch Create a Story: Think about the story you want your family photo to tell. Are they celebrating a holiday? Are they enjoying their everyday lives? Use the family’s 'personality' to create a story, which will make them feel more connected and authentic.

I hope these tips will help you take realistic and beautiful family photos!

I hope you’re doing well! I’ve been following your YouTube channel for a while and absolutely love the content you create. I recently noticed that you haven’t been uploading, and I just wanted to reach out to see if everything is okay.I completely understand if you’ve already addressed this in a previous post  I’ve been offline for a little while and haven’t been able to catch up on your recent content. If you’ve shared any news about it, I apologize for missing it. I missss you 🤍

Hello, I am doing well and I really appreciate you reaching out!

I don’t think I will be coming back to YouTube anymore, it was really fun while it lasted but it took a lot of the joy of playing away from me so I came to the conclusion that I prefer taking photos or short form content like simtoks over making actual videos.

Much love to you & take care!

[pixelglam]

I miss you too Rita!! I hope you’re doing well 🤍
