Heart of a Dreamer

'Tis my gift!

Thank you, you know it was really hard to make those pics since I edited them all on photoshop it was really frustrating but at least I'm done now!

[Tina ☺]

I exalt you Jilly! Too bad I had to go to sleep so early last night. When I am on late, no one's here posting and when I go to bed earlier, people are here!

Those edited pics are fun, Gema, but do get annoying sometimes to do, don't they?

BTW, I did see, just one pic, I think, that had those grid lines in it that are present in buy/build mode. You should be very careful t watch out for that sort of thing too. I've caught myself doing a few times and then had to retake the shot because of those stupid gridlines being in it. I've also taken some with sky that I didn't notice until I was organizing the pics in the editor. Some of those I just take into photoshop and edit out the sky...

[gemagt99]

Yeah, I saw the grid lines when I was organizing them but I was way too lazy to go repeat it

[Tina ☺]

I heard that! I have taken the time to go back and redo pics I saw were bad but... man it sure is a PITA!

[gemagt99]

Yeah it´s annoying when you like a picture but then when you are ready to upload your strory you find out there´s something wrong with the picture!!!

[Tina ☺]

Hehe... I know. I took some great pics once and then when I moved them into the the organizer where they got bigger, I noticed slivers of sky! I was upset about it, but then discovered I could go into photoshop and edite the sky out.. I was happy about that.

[gemagt99]

At least I´m not the only one having trouble with the pics!
But again I´m so lazy I´m surprised I even took the pictures

[Tina ☺]

Hehe.. yea, to me, taking the pics is the hardest part. Especially if you forget to turn off freewill and those simmies are going all over the place.

I often won't go back & restage a pic. If it's ridiculously bad, I might, but if I don't think it takes away from the story, I don't worry about it. There was a scene in my last chapter where I had 2 girls wearing the same dress to prom - that I had to go back in & re-do. I never noticed it until I was putting the story together. Arg! It took almost a whole day to restage! (when you only get a few hours after work, dinner, house work, puppy time, stuff like that really sets you back!) I've got to find that closet hack that Jo has, that let's you "Shop" in your closet, instead of having to send them on an outing to the store every time they need a new outfit - THAT would be a HUGE time saver!

[Tina ☺]

Hey Jilly, you could have written the dress thing into the story. You know have a brief discussion between the girls or with their friends about how embarrassing it is for so and so to be wearing the same dress!

Also there is JMP's clothing tool you could use to shop at home. The clothes cost money instead of being free, but one of the things I really like about it is that when sims graduate from uni, it gives an opportunity to change their clothes in case they got stuck in one of those hideous EA combination outfits that they so often get when they age transition.

Ugh, I hate restaging stuff! It always ends in tears .

Hmm, I think I might need that hack also...
