Awesome tutorial. Thanks!

I do have one question, my Photostudio only gives me the option of RAW format or Compressed...which should I go with since I have no clue how to get NVidia options through Photostudio? (and yes, I do have an NVidia graphics card, the 6600 8XAPG)

Hi the tutorial is great but I do have a question. How would one find the paintings that sims make such as still lifes in game in order to make buyable paintings from them? I have one in particular made by a sim of mine that turned out extremely well and I would love to make it a buyable painting.

Thank you so much for this tutorial CynicalChick, this has really helped me a lot for my own Sims picture-making, and the Photo Studio is great! I was just wondering is there a way to recolor the frames-of the pictures you recolor from Photo Studio?

I love the ease with which to make custom paintings...and would love to know how to make custom color frames to go with them. I've looked all over and don't know where to find out how I can do that Any help would be appreciated

I don't just want to be good...I want to be God's

I've been looking for a tutorial about this forever. I'm glad I ran into this before I did anything stupid. It's really easy to understand and I completely get what you are talking about. Thanks so much. =)

My photo studio is still greyed out. I am running SimPE 56 and CEP 4. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Usually, the first time you invoke Photo Studio, SimPE automatically downloads the needed templates. Maybe you cancelled the download/installation or something went wrong...

Try manually download the Photo Studio Templates from this page and install them.

Thanks for your reply. That didn't work either. I'm at a loss.

If you have installed SimPE, the CEP and the templates, I see no reason why it shouldn't work... I'm at a loss, too...
I can only suggest to double check the correct installation of the various elements. In particular, opend the folder where SimPE is installed and go into the Data folder: you should see several ".template" files (they are the templates for the PhotoStudio).

Ah! What about the DDS utilities? Have you installed them?
I'm not absolutely sure they are needed for the PhotoStudio to work, but it worths a try, anyway.
Read about installing the DDS utilities and configuring SimPE HERE

Nope, that didn't work either and all the template files are there. This just makes no sense.

After running a system check with Simpe, for some reason the CEP is not installed. I have redownloaded it and installed 4 times, and it still keeps telling me "unable to locate (path)/_EnableColorOptionsGMND.package." It is directly in my downloads folder, not a subfolder. Why is this? Thanks for your help and patience. I'm not an idiot, I swear!

Finally got it! I play my game using a different user account, but for some reason, SimPE was picking up that the CEP was not on the one I play with. Weird. Anyway, thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it.

Everything worked fine until I loaded the game.

I used the bella goth (red dressed lady ) and it didn't show up in game as a color option. Any suggestions?
