Which one is the mother?

Dolly's on the left.

She looks pretty young there but she's turning into an elder in around 7 sim days

Wow, the years have been good to her. :D

kustirider2 - Is that Stiles Mcgaw (or something like that)? Before I reinstalled my game he was married to one of my sims who he had a couple of kids with too .

Here is my Caspian(Webber) family...

Lilian Caspian(Webber), Billy Caspian, and their two daughters Belinda(youngest) and Rashel.

Great looking sims everyone!
easypeaze, your pic really shows a lot of personality. I love it.

These sims are the longest I've played in-game. The father is an EA sim, the mother is 4th generation, and the daughter is 5th.


The father of this family is the brother of the mother in the other pic (generation 4). The mother is an EA sim, and the daughters are generation 5 twins.


I think all of the above born in game sims turned out pretty nicely. But I think Aster (the blond from the second picture) is the prettiest.

easypeaze- I ♥ Billy's expression!

Thank you...I really liked Billy's expression as well and considering where his daughters hand is, I think he should be slapped lol.

Chang family (thanks to Jessica_2020 for a gorgeous mum )


Seems like father thinks family picture doesn't deserve his attention, but whatever

Hey here is the family i currently am playing:

The Azzameens!

The man furthest to the left is Hal who is a EA/Maxis sim that became a
Azzameen by marrying Aeron (the blonde woman).

The two twin girls Leia (to the left) and Lady Blue (to the right) are
their daughters. The other two guys is Emon (left) and Ace) they and Aeron are siblings.

These guys aren't technically a family, but they do live together for the sake of image-taking for one of my stories.

The child is Charlotte, the woman is Ayaka, and the demon-looking guy is Thantos. That's Leighton up front. :)

Hirolin - That is quite a freaky looking bunch of people, especially the way you have captured them!
kristelparv - What a sweet shot!
ProlificStorm - I love your two shots, I especially like the female sim in the first shot stood at the front.
easypeaze - Love that picture!

KeiraLou: Thanks! I'm glad they look freaky since it was definitely my intent. :)

Yeah, they are the Sekemotos. I like your makeover of them. Sam looks so cute.

This is probably my biggest family in the game right now, the tri-generational Sullivan clan. They do not all live in the same house, lol.


Seated in the middle are the family founders, Hendrick and Jennifer. They have four children: George (turtleneck and coat), Clarice (purple top with sweater), Anthony (dreadlocks), and Jazmin (the only child).

George lives with his partner, Malik (orange v-neck) and Malik's daughter from a previous relationship, Euphemia (female toddler).

Clarice lives with her husband, Mendi (blue v-neck) and their blended family: Mendi's two sons with his ex-wife, Joel (seated, right) and Julian (seated, left); Clarice's son from a previous relationship, Jamal (male toddler); and their three baby daughters, Jalissa, Janeen, and Jaun'Drea.

Anthony recently moved back in with his parents and younger sister along with his wife, Sanju (turquoise top). They hope to start a family soon also.

Camping in Egypt:

Abbeys Hallie Theison and her daughter Mia

Hey guys, man your families look awesome!
Here I bring my own.
The parents are Mina and Sydian, with their twin daughters Jordan and Alice.

CHN Nature I love the camping pictures in Egypt.

Okay, so for the first time ever, or at least since I got S3, I've tried getting a good family portrait... And it's so much trickier than I originally thought! Major props to all of you guys who've managed to line your big families up for picture time!

So at first I just figured "I'll put them all on the couch"... Not a very good idea. Or at least not very pretty.



So on to new, more creative ideas. I took the family outside, for a little better lighting (or so I thought). I also realized I could use moveobjects + the alt-key to tweak things. Still, my stupid self-sim wouldn't smile, even for a second!



But then finally - it happened! She smiled! Best so far. But not good enough. I found it very annoying that you can barely see the kids. A family photo should be a photo with all the family visible. Faces, not backs and legs.



So I decided to try something different. I thought, getting them all down on the ground would make the picture more natural-like, and it would be easier to turn the kids around to face the camera. The result isn't perfect, but it sure beats the first picture of grumpy parents on the couch in harsh lighting!

How did you get them to sit down like that?

I had the kids play with their toys, and then I got the parents to play with them. With moveobjects on I moved the toys away and turned the kids around. I just wish the parents wood look up! But they're looking at their kids playing, obviously, so what can you expect?

Just a cute picture of Michael and Nini on the couch with Dante and Isolde in the background.

Fanny Vaughn as a child with her baby sister, Sarah, and their mom who turned into an elder 1 day after Sarah was born- yikes!

@chnnature: Oh my, will the mom even live to see Sarah reach "teenhood"? :P
