@cwaddell You take a picture with the camera in your sims inventory (best camera can be found in Al Simhara's shops but also in buyDebug - its a black rather expensive one). If you play with Mastercontroller, max out the photographic skill to be sure to have good pictures. Once the picture is taken, you buy a digital photoframe and put it on the wall (or on a desk if it's a smaller version) and then you open your camera's inventory and drag and drop! Voilà! I hope this helped...

Thank you. In the past I just hung photos from my camera (it's been awhile so I don't remember exactly how). I think I might have bought one of the digital frame once but didn't put 2 and 2 together.
P.S. Great pictures everyone. I'm really enjoying them.
@cwaddell ... Thankfully @jillbg saw your post and gave you the info.
I think you can hang the pictures from the camera by dragging them to wall.
I only use the digital frames because they allow you to do a few more things.
With the digital frames you can recolor the frames to match the rest of your interior design.
You can also load several pictures into a digital frame.
You can either change them out every now and again ... Or set them to produce a slideshow.
If you want to just try something fun ... Take a few cell phone photos with friends.
Get the second frame in the progression (there are 4 frames) ... And load up the cellphone photos you took.
Then set the frame to do a slideshow ... And while your game is running the pictures will change.
Once you get further into your Sim's skill level ... You have way more options.
Here's a few examples of using scenery to decorate your house ...

Love these examples. And thanks for the info. I'm definitely going try a world traveling photographer again, only I'll get her farther in skill before settling her down.
@cwaddell .. An easy way to build skill is with the subjects of the photo.
The game recognizes important buildings and objects ... And pictures of those will build your skill quicker.
Go around town and take pictures of the Bookstore, Theater, Diner, Bistro, City Hall, Gym. Hospital, Sports Arena.
Take pictures of Sims doing things ... Fishing, playing instruments, dancing, running, bicycling and whatnot.
Objects have higher values ... There is a "car" and there is an "expensive car" or even a "police cruiser".
A Panoramic Picture of an "alien vehicle" parked somewhere has a base value of $1200 ... And can bring $3500+ at the consignment store.
If you take the same picture on the same day ... The value and skill benefit will decrease for subsequent photos.
But ... That resets every day ... And the value/skill benefit will be back up the following day.
Once you have advanced your skill to a decent level ... The photos will really help.
They allow you to make your builds "uniquely personal" ... Without adding a lot of third party custom content.
Love all of these pics so much,you all get an awesome. They remind me of just why I want to be a Sim. Apart from the whole someone-controlling-your-every-move,possibly getting walled in/drowned/set on fire thing I mean.......
I've been playing in Riverview for the first generation in the LEPacy challenge. I have to admit it's my first time playing this world.. I might of loaded it once years ago when I first got TS3 in 2011.
The first two screenshots were taken awhile ago but the third taken yesterday.

@Rflong7 Just like real life (at least here in the UK)- even thinking about going near a beach causes the heavens to open! (Love those beach huts,we actually have lots of those near where I live,they instantly remind me of summer,even if it is soggy ones)
@Simasaurus09 Gorgeous! I love Riverview for my farmer Sims,and it always seems to run smoothly too.

@Rflong7, I love the rainy day pictures you captured. I have some of your worlds that you created that I play in, and they are just breathtaking!
@Simasaurus09, All of your pictures are so vibrant and picture perfect, they could be postcards.
