2.0.1 – September 29, 2021

• Added Spanish translation (thank you Laura!)
• Fixed halo effect on photo print tape (shown here)
• Fixed a rare bug that would get you stuck in the Photo Studio UI – this fix will now make the Photo Studio unavailable if you don’t have any photos/canvases in the world or your sim inventory
• ‘Rotate Photo’ added to the ‘Customize Print’ menu.
  • Most of the time, my tests should auto resize the photos correctly to maintain the correct aspect ratio on portrait/landscape photos. But in case it doesn’t, you can use this to change it manually
• Original Photo Print Updates
  • New photo prints were added with the 2.0 version
  • The original ones were not updated because they are set up *very* different than the new ones and I didn’t want to risk changing them and deleting all your previously made photos
  • The old prints are now available to place in BB mode (the thumbnail says ‘Original Photo Print’)
  • When placed in the world, they will show up black – add a photo by clicking on the print and choosing ‘Change Photo’ or by transferring through the photo studio
  • Added improved photo description/naming, ability to add moodlets and sim
  • Photo studio can now be accessed through the old prints
  • The old prints do not have the same resizing feature as the new ones

If you have the mod PBJSims_Functional_Photo_Frame this will not be able to find the photos correctly. This mod doesn’t properly tag photos as photos so the game can’t find them. She has since come out with a new photo override that works correctly and is a huge improvement. If you have this, please delete it and replace it with her new Photo Mod if you want! We worked together to make our two sets cross-compatible.
