I'm in the middle of the queen Hatsheput tomb thread of adventures, and I have a big problem.
I'm supposed to take a picture of a certain sim who lives in Egypt, and deliver it to him.
I take the picture, and the opportunity bar by the sims' head says that I can now deliver it to Ali Taymur, but when I click on Ali Taymur, the "Deliver Photo" option is unclickable. It says that I do not have all the required items in my inventory (even though the opp' bar says otherwise.)
I've tried different angles, different day, befriending him, with the cellphone, nothing works.
The camera works just fine, when I'm pointing it to him, it says "A friend" or something like that, and I can see the picture if I click "View photos", and I even tried putting that specific photo in my sims' inventory outside the camera, and even having two different photos - one in the camera and one outside it. I've tried dragging it to him, nothing is working.
Am I missing something here? The description of this mission doesn't state that I have to do anything else, just take the photo and deliver it.
Please help, if you can.

The second I take it out, the opp' bar says I still need to take the photo. When I try to deliver it after I take it out, it still won't let me, and I even tried having one photo outside the camera, and one inside it. still, nothing.
I don't know if the problem is with where the picture is, since when I take his picture the opp' bar says that I have it, and it could be delivered, but the delivering is the problem, since no matter what I do, he cannot receive this photo..
Hope you are able to complete the adventure.
The photo that worked for me was titled "A Sim in the Area". I had another one titled "Two's Company" I think, and that one didn't work. So if you have something other than "A Sim in the Area" maybe that's the problem?
Hope this helps, I know how frustrated I was when mine didn't work.
I dragged all of the pics of the person that I took out of the camera, but that still didn't fix it. I then deleted all the other pics out of my camera (although I could have just as easily moved the pics to my inventory). The instant I deleted the pics, the deliver photo icon became active and I was able to complete. I repeated the same process for the take a pic of a treasure chest quest.
Hope this helps!!
1. take the camera out of your Sims' inventory
2. take the camera back in (I specifically make my Sims do action 'put in inventory' by clicking on the camera on the ground)
3. take the photo out of the camera and drag it into your Sims' inventory
And that's how I got the quest done. All I need to do after that is click "Deliver photo". Good luck, everyone!
The thing is, you need to take out of the camera the *very first* photo you ever took of the person or object of the quest.
So, if sometime in the past you already photographed them (or it) the game will only accept that original photograph of the subject.
After long interactions following readings on various forums which deal with the subject "problem deliver the photo"
First take the photo of the subject to ask, the title, the title, the name of the photo must be the same that is requested for the mission (ex: A mummy!)
Photo taken is automatically put in the device to use (phone, camera), view the photos, the device inventory opens, choose the photo that interests us for the mission.
When I write to choose is to take it and move it on a wall or on a surface. For example my sim has a property in Egypt.
Close the open inventory. Take the photo move on the wall or on a surface, and place it in the inventory (the same one we have since the start of the base game, bottomless backpack)
The validation rectangle "Deliver the photo" is available.
Press "Submit photo" to validate the mission.
Since this thread had been inactive since 2014 and had come to a natural conclusion, I'm closing it as per our necroposting rules.
