  Yes...the friendship perk is there if the tripod is used.

  Even without the tripod, taking their pictures will increase in friendship as well. That was how my sim got her first and second friend.

  Sorry for the mistakes, English is not my first language ^^'

  The do get friendships really, really fast now. I'm kind of expecting this to be nerfed (so I'm taking advantage of it now).

  I find this with all photos using the tripod e.g. the teen in my legacy family with a low level photography skill and not in the freelance career.
  It's a nice perk but it's sending the relationships through the roof! The relationships are going from about 20% or less to 75% or more!
  This is great for building friendships but less so if you're taking pictures of strangers, models or townies.

  Personally, I like the idea. I hate leveling up, so ways to make that happen faster is a huge plus. If they do consider adjusting it, which I hope they don't, they should give it an off and on or "take pictures to gain friendship and a plain take pictures. Some simmers like it easy if they are interested in a certain way to play and all the leveling up gets in the way and discourages the simmer from the main reason they started the game to begin with. Same with relationships. I hope they keep it in in some way.

  I noticed this too. Personally I think it's overpowered. What's the point of leveling up Charisma or working on acquiring points for the Incredibly Friendly reward trait? I think some increase is okay, but my photographer literally took like 5 pictures and suddenly she was super good friends with her photography subject.

  Definitely pluses and minuses to this quirk or whatever it is, depending on your play style. It will be interesting to see if this is re-tuned in a patch.

  Loved this little perk until my sim started getting older, and a "close friend" died just about every day. She has been perpetually grieving ever since 😂

  This is the funniest thing. It reminds me of the recently patched conservation research that magically skilled up everything super quickly lol

  Yeah, I started a new character to try out the freelance photographer career. He got a welcoming party and something happened and suddenly three of the four visitors had negative friendship with him. So I had him pull out the camera and start snapping pictures. Now they're all best buddies! :smiley:

  My sim is using a tripod and camera to pose hired models and also neighbors who are visiting. Taking photos cause the friendships to blossom. I love it. I hope it's not a bug that gets removed. I have no custom content or mods.
  
  I am going to start a new save and see if it happens again.
  
  Really like the pack so far.

  
  It is a bug. Hopefully it gets fixed.... it's too OP. The relashionships increase in matters of seconds the more photos you take.
