I haven’t tried the cow plant yet, but I would think it’s just like the elixer of life. Three days per sip.
You go into Build or Buy mode and you can pick the photo up out of the camera - it’s sticking out of a slot in the side of it. Once you grab it you can hang it on a wall or stand it on a sidetable.
a word of warning: Be careful about hydrostatic testing boxes with more and more books.
They’re really effing heavy when you do that.
(Not that I would be speaking from experience. Not me. I’m too smart to have forgotten that while packing. Really. Don’t you believe me? Why are you shaking your head at me? :p)
<insert drawn-out ‘Oh!’-with-rising-tone here. Add image of light bulb over head suddenly lighting up.>
Thank you, cazzle! I couldn’t for the life of me work out what the deal was with that camera. 
Well, I have not done this yet, but apparently drinking the elixer gives you a memory of drinking the sim killed for the elixer, “Drank April” if April was killed to make the elixer. Sims can have wants to drink particular other sims.
:eek: lee
Now that’s just too weird!
cazzle: As for the camera…I thought I had tried that, but I’ll give it another go tonight.
Just to be clear; you did this with the one sitting in the Secret Society house?
I had the thought that maybe since the Sim I was playing with didn’t live there, it might now work the same for him.
Then again, maybe I was just missing grabbing it.
correction:
I have done it with the camera in the SS house and with the same type of camera in regular houses. I promise you this is how it’s done!
If you look at this image from my Sims 2 album (no idea if you need to be logged in or not) then you’ll see a photo I took with the camera hanging on the wall behind the sims, and more portraits in this picture.
D’oh! That second link goes to my whole album when I was trying to link to [urlhttp://thesims2.ea.com/sims2_exchange/story/13/21213/snapshot_2f406420_ef41091a.jpg]this picture. Feel free to browse the album if you’re interested but the link in this post shows some of the pictures and the camera they’re from. I only wish I’d thought to take a picture of the photo sticking out of the camera while I had the game running. Maybe later.
:smack:
Once more with preview?
Is anyone else having trouble getting their sims to go to class? From what I understand, you click on the sim within an hour of the start of class and tell them to go. When I do this, though, the only options that come up are “meditate” or “do yoga”. The two sims I started out with all flunked their first semester, and I lost interest after that (well, actually, I discovered Neverwinter Nights, but that’s a separate issue.)
It’s probably a problem caused by the hacks I installed from MTS2, but has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?
There should be a go to school icon (like the go to work icon) in the upper left hand corner. Where all the other “thing I’m doing right now”, “next thing I’ll do” icons go.
If your sim has too many things to do before going to school, you’ve got to get rid of them. If you’re sim is in a good mood they go to school all by themselves no matter what crap they’re supposed to do.
It’s probably a hack from MTS2 causing a conflict. There’s a thread somewhere on there that lists all the hacks that are University compatible and all the ones that aren’t. There’s also a utility there that lists all the hacks you have and what they do (in case you’ve got some that you didn’t install intentionally, which is possible since they can come packaged with downloaded lots). Sims2Pack Clean Installer or something similar.
Thanks, I figured it was probably a conflict of my own making. As soon as I can tear myself away from Neverwinter Nights I’ll go look for that list.
