Photography
Does your sim fancy themselves a bit of an artist? Do they want to capture real life moments to cherish forever? Then photography is for them!
All about Your Camera
The most important part of photography is a good quality camera! Cameras can be purchased from any of the vendors in Al Simhara's Market Place. Better cameras mean getting your skill up faster, so use your money wisely when buying your camera. There are 3 different types of cameras that are available and they are listed below.
- Snaptastic Filmsy-Cam ($250) - The cheapest of the 3 cameras and the worst one if you want to get your skill up. It can only take small photos.
- ChannonTek Outlaw SE ($850)- The average camera of the 3. This camera is good for beginners and can take small photos and medium landscapes.
- Hikon QX40di Gladiator ($3,250)- The most expensive and the best camera of the 3. It can take all type of photos in really high quality. It is probably worth saving up for this as it's very good quality.
Camera Photo Modes
Your camera has many different modes so your pictures can be more interesting and fun. The better the modes and filters, the more money you can make from photos.
Photo Sizes
- Small Portrait- This is the default setting at level 1. The size is the lowest grade photo available.
- Medium Landscape- The next step up from a Small Portrait. Takes bigger, more high quality shots.
- Large Portrait- The second best size used usually for basic shots.
- Panorama- After reaching level 10 your sim can use Panorama mode. This is the biggest, most high quality size and can take brilliant photos!
Photo Filters
- Colour- The default setting for taking normal photos.
- Black and White- Used for black and white photos after reaching level 2.
- Sepiatone- A sepiatone for your pictures after reaching level 4.
- Classic Vignette- The best picture filter available after reaching level 9.
