      Not sure but you might gain the same amount of skill if you take one photo only and then exit.

      Not sure and it is annoying. I mainly use taking pictures of Sims to build relationships. If you take a picture of a Sim it builds a fast relationship. Good friends instantly.

      Oh well. I guess I just cheat my skill. At low skill the screenshots taken were crappy so I have to always got back and delete them. Quite annoying.

      Are we talking about taking photos with a phone or camera here?

      Camera.

      In my test save taking just one photo had the same effect as five (both reaching 11% on level 1).

      Do you have Get to Work/Moschino? You could also tend photo studio/read photography skill books.

      I also dislike the fact that it saves the pictures you take into screenshots folder. These pictures will remain in game when you delete the picture from screenshot folder. It should be an option to have the game save the photo into screenshots folder or not.

      Edit. The game saving photos into screenshot folder came with the patch for Get Together ep. Before that, photos had didn't save there and you had an option to turn them into memories.

      It takes a lot of photos to crank this skill up too.
