SNAP RESETS.

They plague me.

Whilst attempting to take pictures of two sims together, occasionally one of them will, for no reason whatsoever, will jump halfway across the room (still in pose). The remaining one, who is likely positioned on a magisplay tray, will stay stationary, but the shot will be ruined anyway because the antsy sim is no longer actually attached to their footprint and moving them becomes impossible.

So far it's only happened with Decorgal, but since I'm using Decorgal until I get better at syncing two animations, it happens rather frequently.

I wish I could reach into the screen and slap the sims silly, sometimes. (Whoo, alliteration.)

I hate when they do that! All you can do is keep the game paused, and use the slow motion cheat (if you don't already :P) and make sure the sims are beside each other before you take the pic, that way they won't look over to the other sim and jump out of place.
If the worst comes to the worst, you'll just have to keep resetting and trying again .__.
It's annoying, but worth it in the end... as you know, lol.

The slowmotion cheat is one of the best ever <3 But resetting and trying again and I are becoming personal friends, unfortunately.

It is worth it though, when a picture comes out well. :)

Ugh, the feeling, I know it. In my case it is about a handful of objects being randomly corrupted (the entire Heineken party set and one of Aikea's animation paintings < that's a cruel trick right there) and making sims reset after hovering over them with the cursor. WTF.
With Decorgal, I usually hover over the area a bit until I find their footprint, then go around posing the shits again. They're not making it easy in any case, so I echo MiM's advice DX.
(By the way, this is Yuxi. I friended you; hope that's alright!)

Of course it is! *friends back*

That is a cruel twist of fate. For me, the OMSPs from MTS2-- all of them-- became randomly corrupted and refused to work, no matter how often I replaced them. And then, a little while later, the extracted CAS photo backdrop followed suit. o.O

My game is fucking weird.
