Also, the guy who's selected is Billy Extra. I use residential lots that I give to an extra and then I teleport the main characters in. Billy's good for things like keeping the fire lit and because he doesn't do anything, I will select him when the main characters are doing actions that put the action square in the corner. Keeps me from having to clean up the picture in Photoshop. ;)
Thank you everyone for reading!
Take care,

I love the idea of figuring out which shots you're going to use before you start taking shots. Wish I was that organized....
Also, Billy Extra has me laughing! Keeping the fire going, cleaning up, whatever! And someone to "own" the residential lot. I don't bother selecting an inactive sim anymore - just switch to Buy and redesign (or whatever that is) and tab and then I don't get that icon in the screen. Build and terrain work the same way.
This was a fantastic chapter!
S.B. Thank you very much!
Believe me, I didn't used to choose the pictures first. That's why I started the catalog. Since I write the story completely, or as close to completely as I can get before I even start simming the first update, I have exactly what I want the update to say, so I just open the Word file and my pose box pics and choose and mark them on the update where I want them. Then I download the Word file to my PDA and use it to sim from. :D
When you're in the buy mode, don't you get the gridlines? Also, I don't think I usually get the lighting effects I want when in the buy mode. Could be I'm wrong about that, tho. Since I tend to use populated sets from time to time, I'm always needing extras anyway, so I can never have too many. :)
