Photography

I know what action I need. But it didn't register it like slap fight!

Sometimes it can be hard to get a photo like that if the ones fighting are your friends. It's show as two friends instead of a slap fight.
I've got it by catching them slapping and pointing the camera at the ground to where there feet are just barely in the top of the frame and had it register as the slap fight instead of two friends.
You just get a picture of there shoes but it still counts.

But with most pictures like that trying moving the camera around to get it to change what's it's registering.

Yes, another trick, if you really want to capture the actual fight, is taking several pictures of the same action.  A lot of times, once it captures a particular photo, it will default to another possible type.

For example:  if your sim's spouse and best friend are fighting, you might have to run through "My Spouse," "My Main Squeeze," "My Friend," and "Two of My Friends" (and possibly one or two more) before the "Slap Fight" option comes up.

I know all these tricks. I specifically wrote that everything else I photographed.
The fact is that entire Russian community can not photograph slap fight. Am I properly understand that there is no such problem in the English version of the game?

I am using the Russian version of the game myself, and I have absolutely no problems or difficulties of anything not matching with the English version.

I have photographed it in the past, although I can't say that I go through and try to complete photo collections very often.  I tend to play on normal life span, and this is a lot of work to go through for a benefit that's not going to last very long.

Well, such info may be useful for a certain upcoming challenge, so you never know!

I don't know, I did it during about half an hour, but "Slap Fight" wasn't come up at all

Thanks Pam. I resolved it. About Photo of Photographer, it isn't a mirror. Try to photograph a photographer. I mean, two sims get a photograph each other, if you understand. For Theatre, I really fixed that. I searched Google and found a package and now I can get a photo of the Theatre. I know, it's just a "cheat" but, come on. Until EA fixes it, it gets old! For Gadgets Galore, I'm awaiting answers. Also Political Demonstration (when do I know that there's a protest in front of mayor? ) Diplomat Extraordinaire (huh?), Omniplant (do i find in riverview something like that ?),  Dumpster Diving (hm..is it when a sim takes out the trash?).

Thanks for the answers.

PS- I don't know if I can post the packages for theatre, but I recomment you to search. Really works.  

But when you take a photograph, your sim disappear for a brief moment. How did you get it to work?

EDIT: I got it. Pause the game and then have both sims take a photo. Then choose the one intended for the photo and unpause the game and then pause the game again and take the photo.

Well, that's just smart. I haven't done this photographic challenge but I was always wondering how to complete this one.
