Done in collab with wonderful @pforestsims – it's 2024, high time to rework how cameras work in TS2!
With this mod, sims can only take pictures if they have a camera in their inventory. To make this more feasible, the default camera is now buyable under Electronics / Small for §120. (If your sim happens to leave on a vacation without a camera, they can still ask kind locals and tourists to take pictures for them.)
In addition, there are six new functional custom cameras.
For most cameras, you'll need to order the photo with a computer to get a printed version, as is the default behavior.
Instant cameras: With Classic Polaroid and Instax cameras, the photo will be added to your sim's inventory right away. They require the instant photo mesh to work (included with the download). The photos taken with instant cameras can't be ordered with computers.
By default, the instant photo has a clear vignette overlay. You can add a tint to it by clicking the mesh and choosing either blue, green, red, or orange tint from the pie menu. It's also possible to revert it back to being clear.
There are two versions of this mod: the 'cellphone' one makes the cellphone work as a camera and is meant to be used together with my phone default. The cellphone will get picked for taking pictures only if the sim doesn't have another camera in their inventory.
The 'no cellphone' version has all the other functionality but the default cellphone won't work as a camera with it.

Files are compressed. Requires Bon Voyage and maybe University too. A collection file for the custom cameras is included; you can keep only those that you like, the mod works with or without them.
🚨🚨 Conflicts with the custom smartphone camera mod by @jellymeduza. Meduza has shared compatible versions in that same post.
This mod conflicts and isn't compatible with no bad photos mod by @picknmixsims.
There's also a conflict with the snowproof accessories mod by guirnaldas. Both mods will work if you make the camera overhaul load after the snowproof accessories.
This mod is compatible with camera default replacements that don't include an OBJD override, for example this one by @vegan-kaktus or this one by me works perfectly.
Update (24.4.2024): Visiting sims can now be asked to take a picture for you if they have a non-instant camera in their inventory.
Update (29.1.2024): Taking pictures with instant cameras now fulfills the want to take a picture just as the normal cameras do. Sims using instant cameras also correctly gain art enthusiasm from it.
Update (28.1.2024): Both the default and the custom cameras won't get covered in snow anymore if used outdoors when there's snow on the ground.
The mirrorless camera was converted from TS4 by @lordcrumps, thank you for sharing the textures! The telephoto camera was converted from TS4 for this project, thank you @deedee-sims for extracting! The DSLR camera was converted for this project as well, from ACNH.
This might be a very weird Side Order question, but how similar are the models of the realistic fish that float around certain levels to the models of the same fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
I know this sounds strange but ever since I saw an Arapaima, one of the rarer big fish in ACNH, floating by one level, I can't unsee it
i don't have animal crossing rips and stuff but i can look at them a bit:
just for this one i noticed the little fin on the side is different, but it might just be animated
the tuna model is the Exact Same just a bit low poly. here i've overlayed the two it's. yeah
heres the arapaima as you asked, named "Pirarucu", which is the japaneese name. Anywy i'm pretty confident that these are actually based on the animal crossing models! good eye :)
I don't know if you've been asked this before, and I hope it's ok to ask...
How do you make such clean and smooth gifs? Every time I upload a gif to Tumblr it completely destroys the quality.
Alola!
So I went and had a look at your gifs to see if I could see what's up with them. Your frame rate and colouring and sizing and everything is fine, so nothing has jumped out at me 💙
I think some of it may be an ACNH thing. The Switch produces beautiful screencaps of the game, but the videos are horribly low quality, and you need your source videos to be as HQ as possible for any gif you make. You wanna aim for 1080p as standard with 720p as a last resort.
I made like, one AC gif years ago and never again. The quality doesn't do the game justice.
You've got the process down pretty good 😄 So all I can suggest is that you try experimenting with settings. Gifs can be up to 9.99MB so you have lots of room to play. Try swapping between perceptual, adaptive and selective in the settings. Always aim for 256 colours. 128 is your bare minimum for Tumblr. Only go below 128 if you're absolutely desperate or if it's a black & white gif.
One trick I used to use back in the 1MB/no pink or blue/2MB/4MB days, was when gifs got really grainy because they were down to 128 colours and Johnny just = grain in every gif ever, try putting a texture over the top and setting it to overlay or whatever looks good. It helps to smooth out grain for those Johnny stubborn gifs that refuse to look shiny.

Hiii Im not sure if you still play ACNH, but I am in love with your Asphalt custom designs on ACNH. I was wondering if you could make a version of the darker variant of the horizontal and vertical line path transparent?
Heya, Anon! Nope, not playing ACNH anymore xD I gave up on my trash island.
I just uploaded a variant for the vertical and horizontal lines with one pixel made transparent, so it can overlay on top of the in-game paths. Is it that what you mean? If not, feel free to send another ask or message me directly, even ^^
Yo! Check this out. My buddy Eva has been on a roll making these intricate and delicate paths. This one was designed for snow but looks amazing on other paths or the beach!
More on the way for different seasons ♡
