    I wish we could get this without downloading Sims Mobile. I don't have enough space on my phone to download it.

    You can. I don't have sims mobile. I just put in my phone number and got the frame. No app needed.
    I managed to get this just by entering an old work number and restarting my game; and there it was in the decoration category. :+1:

    I don't have, and will not have, Sims Mobile, so I don't think that is a requirement at all.

    It would be nice to have had a choice of frames and I don't like how huge it is, and the fact that it doesn't shrink very well - still needs to be put on a big wall regardless of the size but, hey, it's free and it means we don't have to mess around with Pose Player to get reasonably nice family group portrait. :)

    I've been dying for this feature for forever, so I went all the way: put in my phone number, downloaded the stupid game, and deleted it from my phone. Totally worth it, IMO.

    I haven't explored much yet in the photography skill, but is there any other way to get pictures/portraits of Sims besides selfies? (I'm not talking about painted portraits, just photo ones.)

    You can use the photography skill to take pictures of individual Sims from your phone or camera. It should show up as 'Take Photo Of...', so it's a phone or camera photo without a selfie. You can also buy a photo studio which can be used to take a portrait of 1-2 Sims. Unfortunately mine is very buggy and has been for at least a year.

    Ah, but otherwise this family portrait is the only one of its kind? A bummer, but thank you for the info!

    You can put it on any size wall using MOO.

    I do not own the game on my phone, but I put my phone number in and got it!

    Ahh, yes, of course! :)

    I'm something of a Sims 4 newbie and don't use 'cheats' very often so forgot about that possibility. From a little test I did if you reduce some of the other wall decorations they would fit on smaller walls without using MOO.

    I have it now and was just about to post a screenshot. Then I remembered I better not because it's my self sim who wears shirts with rude logos on them and I don't think that's allowed here. :D At any rate, I think it's a really nifty thing to have.

    I hope it will be coming to the consoles soon.

    I don't have a cell phone so I guess I don't get it. This stinks! :'(
    Sim: "I'm starving!"
    Player: *instructs sim to prepare meal* "Then eat something, you little goofball!"
    Sim: *starts cooking meal*
    -5 seconds later-
    Sim: *Stops cooking meal* "I'm so hungry!"
    Player: *head hits desk*

    I love the fact that it auto-updates as the family changes/grows. Ryllo & Zoe had another child, a little girl named Stormy. And Dayton aged up to toddler stage. I remembered the portrait and went to see if I needed to do anything to update it and it was already reflecting the family changes :) Yay!

    This "free" item is NOT free if you have to give out your phone number, do a phone game download, or both!

    I bet you that the next "free" item will involve giving EA your home address! They may even go as far as asking for social security numbers - who knows where it will end?

    Free should mean free - no hoops to jump through, no "if"s, "and"s, or "but"s about it!

    "... And THAT'S what really grinds my gears!"

    :-1::-1:
    ...AND WASH YOUR DING-DANG HANDS!

    I regret putting in my real mobile number now, a few of us simmers have reported spam calls a day after redeeming the item.

    You can literally insert random numbers and the frame still unlocks. No download needed. It's not that big of a big deal.

    I haven't received a single spam call, text, email, anything. I'm not saying it couldn't have happened to some but let's make sure we're not making false claims. There are MANY ways a spam call could be coming to you that have absolutely nothing to do with you submitting your phone number anywhere. There have been so many hacking issues lately and so many phone scams going around, even to landline phones. Do you have proof that the spam call was due to submitting your number for this reward? Did the call come from EA or any entity marketing/selling for EA?

    I think the only reason they ask you your number is just to send you the link to download the mobile app.

    I really like this item. I love that the poses can be randomized and I love the clothing change options. I don't love how honking big this thing is, however. I would love different ones all through the house, but for now I'm happy with the main one. I did put a second one in the basement, but didn't save that file because I messed up the original poses on the first one. I do want to know how can I just make it for the humans of the house? I would love to have one with them and the pets and would love to have one without the pets. Is that possible to do? Heck, is it possible to change the size of the frame? A buddy of mine said you can as well as change it from horizontal to vertical, but I haven't seen those options and he hasn't answered my messages.

    You have to type in a phone number on your TS4 game in order to unlock it, you do not have to download the mobile game.

    Does the photo update itself with a new portrait? (In the mobile game, it updates itself with new sims) I have one sim as of now but plan to add to her household.

    @Kirbycat - Yes, it'll automatically update as your family expands and ages :)

    It is supposed to, but one of my files is missing a child in the picture. I deleted it.

    Where in the menu is it located? I already put my old number in to activate but I don't see it in buy mode anywhere...

    Did you freeze the portrait to save the way it looked?
