Set up of scenes

It's time to admit I felt really dumb when I read Freddy's post. It never occurred to me that "moveobjects on" would be working on Sims, too. That's why I never bothered with this cheat which I considered to be a pure "builder's feature". As soon as I'm back home I will give it a try. Probably will speed up getting the pictures I want considerably Smile

Thank you, Freddy! cheers

Flatter, it's a fantastic cheat for getting some of those more difficult screenshots. I use it quite often.

Just remember to not save or your sims may end up borked.

I agree, it is a priceless cheat, even for something as simple as to get everybody standing closer together to get them all in the shot-- something I do so often I shudder to think how I'd function in sim photography without it ((EA's idea of 'personal sim space' is just way too much space you ask me)). That said, as one who until very recently suffered through shooting my scenes with 'Free Will' on... I still often fall back to the 'go here' command just to see what idles my troupe throw at me and who they're in the mood to look at while they do it... when I've got the time and a mood good enough to keep the director's frustration in check, that is Wink

It is like being a movie director really... with untrained actors... hahahaha

More like a movie director with little children.

"Stand here Johnny"

'Ok ... ooooh, look at the pretty ..." and Johnny wanders off

I had a hard time when I started having the powergirls together. I just didn't know how to manage them to be together at the diningtable until I took their free will away. Embarassed

*Laughing out loud* over here after reading the last three posts... thank you folks, I needed that

Margo, I gotta ask, do you ever feel, well, guilty turning the free will off...? Just wondering if it's just me who sometimes feels like I'm the puppet-mastering super villain of my virtual people... I think it's gotten worse since I started taking shots so close up you can't miss the expressions... aw, look at how upset my little peeps are, shame on me... the pain will end when you do what I tell you to do when I tell you to do it bwahahaha!... rofl

I don't know about Margo, but I have absolutely no guilt whatsoever over turning off their free will.

They're mine, I created them, I can control them, make them do all the sick twisted things I want them to do ... I'm all powerful ... mwahahahahaaha!

Although when I read catsandbooks story on the Plumbbob Conspiracy (I think that's the title), I do feel a little guilty.

Rob; I don't feel guilty if it's only for just a moment but now and again I forget to give them their free will back and after a while when I see them suffering..... well yes, then I feel a bit guilty..... Sad

Illandrya: That's the Plumbop Quest. It's a good story..... Smile

Aw, Margo... don't worry, I'm sure they forgive your forgetting... at least until EA gives them their memories back...

And the Plumbbob Quest by catsandbooks is great, haven't read the last installment yet, but I do recommend that Sims2 series. She also wrote a sweet witch/warlock themed story ((I think it was called Infallible?)) back in the day that I really enjoyed and thought was very well done.
