Little Fire Burning (Ch. 85: Till death do us part *23.Apr 16*)
Theraven:
thanks everyone :D
and that's an idea, Egghugger! I've thought the same thing myself, but since I'm more of a recolorer than a mesher, that's someone elses job (right now, anyway - but it might change in a few months... I'm starting 3D animation in just a few weeks, and I just can't wait!!! :D)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
oh, and before I recieve another PM about the animations I used for Tony, i might as well post the explanation so that everyone can see:
I used the good "old-fashion" "insimenator" way - Tony is really a teen in a child's body in some of the pictures. Same goes with Erica (teen as toddler).
you need:
the Insim machine and the insim Summoner, the OMSP from MTS2, an invisible version of the OFB magisplay tray thingy, the Moveobjects on and Boolprop snapobjectstogrid false cheat codes + a lot of patience, since trial and failing is a big part of a photoshoot. (you might also need an older/younger version of the sim you're going to use)
You must have a sim in the age you want the sim to behave like (he must be saved as this age, meaning that you can't age him to this before the next step - unless you save, quit and reload the lot), and then you age him down/up (blue part of the insim machine) to the age he's supposed to look like. Then you delete him, and summon him back again with the summoner (restore family). Remember that the poses will act a bit weird for all ages, but they can now use poses for other ages - children will be able to use adult/teen poses. BUT: toddlers/children will hover in the air as older ages, while teens/adults will crouch a little as younger ages.
For the poses, I used the model pose box (and the depression pose box for some of the pics in the last chapter) from MTS2, posed Tony, put a bottle and the baby on the ground, clicked on the bottle and chose "feed baby". I can't remember what pose I used for Erica in the same picture, but it was one of the pose boxes from http://www.JD-movies.com
The OMSPs and the OFB tray is used for placing the sims higher than the poses normally are.
Remember that you do this on your own risk, meaning that saving the game after messing around with especially insim and the magisplay tray MIGHT do strange things to your game (I lost a really cute toddler because of the tray - luckily I didn't save, so I got him back). I try to avoid live mode when playing around (That's how I lost the toddler), and take everyone off the trays before changing to live mode again.
I recommend trying the techniques on a test lot the first times you play around with them.

Aww that was a wonderfull update, and dont worry about your photoshopping skill.
Ive never seen such good photoshopping skills used for a the sims pics.
Its hard to photoshop into sims but you did a great job.
And thanks for the pointers on how to get your toddlers to act like teens.
I'll try it :D
Theraven:
I can't say for sure when the next chapter will be ready. I have a lot to do in real-life before even thinking of spending a day or two to do the pictures...
and the story just keeps on getting longer. I've already added two chapters to the text today... Have to use the inspiration when it finally shows up, you know :D
I'm also doing some infant outfit testing in between all the cleaning and tidying i'm doing n my room (but I can actually see parts of my floor now that I've not seen in maybe two years, so I'm getting there :). That's how it goes when your room is used for a personal store room...)
Pierre:
Great Chapter looking forward in reading the rest of the story
