It's staged. They do a lot of things in the photos that you can't actually do in-game.
Besides, hand-holding and walking at the same time would be too difficult, I should think. It would require your two Sims to stay connected. There's doorways to consider, and the stretching it would do to a Sim's arm. I know all about the stretching because I've played around with moving Sims while they were hugging. It can look pretty freaky.
I would guess it's just staged to make the product look better.
Agreed, like on the cover of outdoor living there is a couple; she has her head on his shoulder - you can't do that in the game. But they might add it in with the new EP.
Another thing which is staged in the parrot on the female pirates shoulder. Wish we had those..
Does all of this not constitute False or Misleading Advertising under the Consumer Guarantees Act? (Sorry, that's the NZ name for it...) I may have to investigate........

Actually, you CAN do the head on the shoulder thing. Just have them "Cuddle on Sofa" and that is what they do.
Agreed tho...I wish they wouldn't stage photos or use items not actually included on the cover of EP's and SP's. The parrot, holding hands, the shopping bag on this one. On past covers everything from hair to outfits have been implied but not included.

EA could do this. Rockstar did it with Bully. Jimmy Hopkins the main character in the game gets to hold hands with his girlfriend Kristy. At one point he they hold hands while walking at a carnival and another he walks her to the dorm while holding hands. Oh and yes EA photoshopped this cover which is ashame. I really want that in the sims 3 so bad. I'm hopeful that generations will add that.
See, I was under the impression that it (holding hands, and also chatting while walking) was going to be in the BASE game. I'm quite positive that I read something on Gamespot about Sims being able to do that. But, come Sims 3 release, 'tweren't there.....
